§ 9 Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (Google). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files that are stored on your computer and which help analyse your use of the website. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and provide additional services associated with the use of the website and internet to the website operator. The statistics we collect allow us to improve our website and our services and make them more interesting for you as a user.

(2) As a rule, the information regarding your use of this website generated by the cookies will be forwarded to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is enabled on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or other parties to the agreement on the European Economic Area.

Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework, for exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA. You can view a current certificate under this link: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list.

(3) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". As a result, IP addresses are further processed in truncated form, so that reference to individuals can be ruled out. If the data collected about you refers to you as an individual, it will be excluded immediately, and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

Alternatively to the browser plug-in, you can click on this LINK to prevent the acquisition by Google Analytics on this website in the future. This stores an opt-out cookie on your device.
