The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including the abbreviated IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there, and may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes the possibility of direct personal reference. Through the extension, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a server of Google LLC.in the USA and shortened there.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide us with further services related to the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google (Universal) Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
Google Analytics also enables the compilation of statistics with statements about the age, gender and interests of visitors to the site using a special function, the so-called “demographic characteristics”, on the basis of an evaluation of interest-related advertising and by using information from third parties. This allows the definition and differentiation of user groups of the website for the purpose of target-group-optimized marketing measures. However, data sets collected via “demographic characteristics” cannot be assigned to a specific person.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for reading information on the terminal equipment used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter a DSGVO. Without this consent, the use of Google Analytics during your visit to our website will not take place.

We do not receive any personal data from Google, but only statistics based on Google Signals. You have the option of deactivating the “personalized ads” function in the settings of your Google account and thus turn off the cross-device analysis.
