Privacy Policy

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer to help analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, in the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to fully use all the features of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

You can also prevent data collection by Google Analytics by adjusting the cookie settings on this website.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found in the Google Analytics Terms of Service and in the Google Analytics Overview. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure the anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
