Depending on the provider, the data generated by your use of this website may be stored and processed in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), such as the United States. For more information about the potential risks of cross-border data transfers, see section XII. The analytics services collect only the IP address assigned to you during your visit to this website, not your name or other identifiers.

Google Analytics
We use the web analytics service Google Analytics, provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google uses the cookie-generated information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to website and internet use. We have activated IP anonymization in Google Analytics. This means your IP address is truncated within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. You can prevent the setting of such cookies as follows:

By adjusting your browser settings to block third-party cookies (please note that in this case, you may not be able to use the full functionality of the website)
