USE OF ANALYSIS AND TRACKING TOOLS
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043 (hereinafter “Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies to identify the frequency of use of certain areas of our website and preferences. The information generated by the cookies about your use of our website (including your shortened IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation activated. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union (EU) or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your internet browser will not be merged with other Google data. If you do not wish to have Google Analytics analyse and measure your website’s reach, you can deactivate the use of Google Analytics cookies using an Internet browser add-on as an alternative to the options described in section 4 (2). You can download this here: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. In this case, a so-called “opt-out” information is stored on your end device, which serves to assign your deactivation of Google Analytics. Please note that such an “opt-out” information only leads to a deactivation of Google Analytics for the end device and the relevant internet browser from which it was set. In addition, you may have to set it again if you delete cookies from your end device. The opt-out cookie is only valid for the internet browser used when setting it and only for our website and is stored on your end device. If you delete the cookies in the internet browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.
