If you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), is used on this website. The usage includes the “Universal Analytics” operating mode, which makes it possible to assign data, sessions, and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user’s activities across devices.
Google Analytics uses “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer to help analyze how you use the website. 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. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within EU member states or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. We have extended Google Analytics on this website with IP anonymization to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. More information about terms of use and data protection can be found at: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html and https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.
