14.1 Google Analytics

14.1.1This Website uses Google Analytics, a web-analysis service by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies" — text files saved on the computer of users for the purpose of analyzing the user's website usage. Information about website usage generated by the cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there.

14.1.2However, Google shortens the user's IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contractual states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area when IP anonymization is activated for the website. Google only transmits the full IP address to a Google server in the US and shortens it there in exceptional cases. IP anonymization is activated for this website. Google uses this information on behalf of the website operator in order to evaluate website usage by users, compile reports about website activities, and provide other services associated with website and internet usage to the website operator.

14.1.3The IP address transmitted from your browser within the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storing of cookies via the relevant browser setting. This notice points out that in such a case it may not be possible to use all website functions to the full extent. Furthermore, users can prevent the acquisition of data generated by the cookie regarding their website usage (including their IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin via the relevant Google opt-out link.
