Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user's activities across devices.
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 the website (including your shortened IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. An abbreviated IP address means that Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned before transmission by adding" 'anonymize_ip': true". This is always the case when you access our website from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Google will use the information collected via the cookie to compile reports and reports on behalf of the operator on the activities, website use and use of associated services on the website for the operator. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes.
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is: § 15 Paragraph 3 TMG and/or Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f DSGVO.
Sessions and campaigns are terminated after a certain period of time. By default, sessions are closed after 30 minutes without activity and campaigns after six months. The time limit for campaigns may not exceed two years. For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.
The data collected by the cookies are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.
As described in paragraph 1, you can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly.
By downloading and installing a browser add-on, you can prevent Google from collecting the cookie and the data it collects and processes. You can find Google's browser addon here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
