Google Analytics uses so-called cookies, text files which are stored on users’ computers and facilitate the analysis of their use of the website. The information about the user’s use of this website gathered by the cookie is, as a rule, transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If however IP anonymisation has been activated on this website, then Google will first abbreviate the user’s IP address within the European Union, or in other treaty states of the European Economic Area. It is only in exceptional cases that your complete IP address will be sent to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. IP anonymisation is active on this website.

The IP address transmitted from your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be collated with other data from Google.

This service would, however, like to point out that this will mean you will not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.
