  1. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web service analysis tool from Google Inc. (“Google“). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files saved on your computer to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and saved by Google in the United States. On our website, we use Google Analytics along with “_gat._anonymizeIp”. In this case, your IP address will be abbreviated and therefore made anonymous by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other countries that are members of the European Economic Area agreement. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the U.S. and abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use the information to evaluate your use of the website, to collect reports on the website activities, and to perform other services related to the website use and internet use for the website operator. The IP address sent by your browser for Google Analytics will not be combined with other data of Google. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by using the relevant setting in your browser software. However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by opening the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de) and downloading and installing the browser plug-in.

You can find additional information about the terms of use and data protection at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics was expanded to include the code “anonymizeIp“ to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (known as IP masking).
