This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. We have activated IP anonymisation for our service so that IP addresses are only processed in abbreviated form and thus exclude the possibility of direct personal identification.
Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
