Information on Data Processing in Connection with Google Analytics
 

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller on this website is based outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, the Google Analytics data processing is performed by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereafter referred to as "Google".

Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on the visitor's computer, to help the website analyze how visitors use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by the visitor (including the truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension on this website. This extension ensures the anonymization of the IP address by truncation, thus excluding direct personal reference.

Through the extension, the IP address is previously shortened by Google 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. The IP address transmitted by the corresponding browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide other services related to website and internet use to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of website use, and the adaptation of content. The interests of the users are sufficiently protected by pseudonymization.

Google LLC. offers a guarantee to maintain an adequate level of data protection based on standard contractual clauses. The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by adjusting the cookie settings for this website. Furthermore, the collection and storage of the IP address and data generated by cookies can be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The relevant browser plugin can be downloaded and installed from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

The website visitor can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set that prevents future data collection when visiting this website.

For more information on Google's data usage, setting and opt-out options, please refer to Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and the settings for the display of advertising by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

reCAPTCHA To protect your requests via internet form, we use the reCAPTCHA service provided by Google LLC (Google). The query serves to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or abusively through automated, machine processing. The query includes the sending of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input will be transmitted to Google and used further there. However, your IP address will be shortened 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 shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data.

The different data protection provisions of Google apply to these data. For more information on Google's privacy policy, please visit: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
