For the purpose of customizing and continually optimizing our website, we use Google Alanytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereafter „Google“).

The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purpose of market research and tailoring of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties are commissioned with the processing of this data. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with any other data provided by Google. The IP addresses are anonymized so that assignment is not possible (IP masking). You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case not all features of this website may be used to the full extend.
