Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as «Google»). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on users’ computers, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by cookies regarding use of this website by users is generally transferred to a Google server in the United States, where it is stored. In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, Google will truncate the user’s IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating the use of the website by users, compiling reports on website activity, and providing the website operator with other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser in connection with Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in their browser software; however, please note that doing so may restrict the functionality of this website. Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by cookies and related to their use of the website (incl. their IP addresses), as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Integration of third-party services and content

Third-party content, such as YouTube videos, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds, or graphics from other websites, may be integrated within this online service. In all cases, this requires that the providers of such content (hereinafter referred to as «third-party providers») detect the IP address of the respective user. Without the IP address, they cannot send the content to the user’s browser. The IP address is thus necessary in order to display this content. We endeavor to use such content only where the respective providers use the IP address solely for the purpose of delivering the content. However, we have no control over whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. We inform you of this to the extent that we become aware of it. If you do not wish to disclose any data about yourself, please log out of your Google account or use a plug-in like Ghostery to block data sharing.
