Data protection

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, then Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are collectively referred to as «Google».

Google Analytics uses «cookies», which are text files saved on the user's computer, to allow an analysis of how users use the website. The information generated by the cookie about the user's use of this website (including their truncated IP address) is typically transferred to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used on this website solely with the «_anonymizeIp()» extension. This extension ensures anonymisation of the IP address by truncation and excludes direct personal identification. Through the extension, Google's IP address is first truncated within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. In exceptional cases only, the full IP address will be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by the relevant browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information collected to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimisation of this website, the analysis of the use of the website and the adaptation of the content. The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymisation.

Google LLC. offers a guarantee to maintain an adequate level of data protection on the basis of the standard contractual clauses. The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the site visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plugin can be downloaded and installed at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
