Notes on data processing in connection with Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then the Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google".
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on the visitor's computer and allow for an analysis of the use of the website by the visitor. The information generated by the cookie about the visitor's use of this website (including the truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.
Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" on this website. This extension ensures the anonymization of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal reference. Through the extension, the IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by the corresponding browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

The interests of users are sufficiently protected through pseudonymization.

The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., user ID), or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 50 months.
