The information generated by these cookies, such as time, location, and frequency of your website visits including your IP address, is transmitted to and stored by Google in the USA.

We use Google Analytics on our website with an IP anonymization function. In this case, your IP address will be truncated and thus anonymized by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our site, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage.

Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation option for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over what data is collected and processed by Google. If you activate this option, no information about your website visit will be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, activation does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use.
