The usage profiles created in this way are used to evaluate the visitor behavior in order to design and improve the offer presented on this website. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, small text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US 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 activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Even the user profiles managed under a pseudonym are not combined with the personal data about the user without explicit and separately declared consent of the user. Thus, the consideration shows that there are no predominant interests of you are violated (Art. 6 I p. 1 f GDPR).

You can prevent the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent.
