Webanalyse

This website uses the web analytics tool "Google Analytics", a service provided by Google Ireland Limited. The purpose of this use is to "tailor" this website to meet your needs by weighing up your interests. Web analysis also enables us to detect and correct errors on the website, e.g. due to incorrect links. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. So-called "client IDs" are used, which serve to create pseudonymous usage profiles that jointly record the use of the Internet pages by desktop computers and mobile end devices by a user.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, since we have activated IP anonymisation on this website and have concluded a corresponding contract with Google, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google in the USA is certified according to the so-called "Privacy Shield" (list entry). Google guarantees an adequate level of data protection.

You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link.
