This website uses functions of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. As a general rule, information collected by the cookie about your use of the website is transferred to a server operated by Google in the USA and stored there.

However, whenever IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand in member states of the European Union or in other states that are signatories to the treaty of the European Economic Area. Only under exceptional circumstances will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the website operator to analyse your use of the website, to prepare reports about activity on the website and to provide the website operator with other services related to the use of this website and of the internet. Google Analytics will not combine the IP address transferred by your browser with other Google data.

You can prevent the transfer of cookies by means of an appropriate setting of your browser software; however, we draw your attention to the fact that in this case it is possible that all of the functions of this website might not be fully available for use.
