We use cookies in connection with the following functionalities:

​

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. For this purpose, Google uses certain cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We use the stored information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities for the website operators, and to provide other services associated with your use of our website. We process the Data thus obtained on the basis of our predominant interest in the optimal marketing of our online offer in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. In no event will Google associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

Please note that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension "anonymizeIp()". Therefore, Google shortens the IP addresses before they are sent to a server in the USA. As a consequence, a direct personal reference in connection with the stored Data is generally excluded. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a server in the USA and shortened there.

You can object to the data collection at any time with effect for the future by using the Google Analytics deactivation add-on for browsers at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
