Important notice regarding data processing in connection with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the controller of the data processing carried out through this website is located outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland, the related Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC. are hereinafter referred to as "Google".

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

Google Analytics is used on this website exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp ()". This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes a direct personal reference. Through this extension, the IP address of the site visitor is 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 will the user's full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the site visitor's browser as part of the use of Google Analytics is not merged by Google with other Google data.

On behalf of the operator of the website, Google will use the collected information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO). The legitimate interest in the data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of the use of the website and the adaptation of the content. The interests of the users are sufficiently protected by the pseudonymization of their data.

Google LLC. provides a guarantee of compliance with an adequate level of data protection based on the European standard contractual clauses. The data transmitted and linked to the Google Analytics cookies, e.g. user IDs or advertising IDs, are automatically deleted after 50 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically once a month.

The website visitor can refuse the use of cookies by making the appropriate settings in their browser. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the following browser plugin: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

The website visitor can prevent data collection by Google Analytics on this website by clicking here. An "opt-out cookie" will then be set, which prevents the future collection of data from the visitor to this website.

Further information on data processing and use by Google, the settings and deactivation options can be found in the Google privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the Google Ads settings (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

reCAPTCHA

We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC (Google) to protect your input via internet forms on this website. This plugin checks whether you are a person to prevent certain features of the website from being (mis)used by spam bots (especially comments). This plugin query involves the transmission of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the Google reCAPTCHA service. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to and used by Google. However, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thus anonymized. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be 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 the service. The IP address transmitted by your browser through reCaptcha will not be merged with other data from Google.
This data collection is subject to the privacy policy of Google (Google Inc.). Further information on Google's privacy policy can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
By using the reCAPTCHA service, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
