Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time, or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. With this function, Google shortens the IP address even within the EU or EEA. The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of visits to our website and the usage activities there. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the internet. Google states that it will not link your IP address to other data. In addition, Google provides further data protection information, including options for preventing data usage, at

This add-on can be installed with common internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on tells the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that information about your visit to our website should not be sent to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being sent to us or to other web analysis services. You can of course also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this privacy policy.
