5.2 Statistic Cookies 

Statistic Cookies help us to optimize our website and to provide you with the best possible information.  When a cookie is activated, it is assigned an identification number. Your personal data is not associated with this identification number.

5.2.1 Use of Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” text files saved on your computer which allow us to analyze your use of the website. Information generated by the cookie on page visitors’ use of this website is typically transmitted to a Google server in the USA and saved there. We have activated IP anonymization on this website (anonymizeIp). However, Google abbreviates your IP address within a member state of the European Union or in another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area in advance. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, assemble reports on website activities, and provide us with further services related to website usage and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the course of Google Analytics is not combined with other information from Google. You can prevent cookies from being saved by changing your browser software settings; however, if you do so we would like to inform you that you may not be able to use all the functions of our website in full.
