Google Analytics is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our website.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time, or frequency of visits to our website, are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function shortens the IP address by Google within the EU or EEA.

Google states that your IP address will not be linked to other data. Furthermore, Google provides additional privacy information at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/partners, including how to prevent data use.

Google also offers a deactivation add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en with additional information. This add-on can be installed with common internet browsers and provides you with further control over the data that Google collects when visiting our website. The add-on tells the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or other web analysis services. Whether and which additional web analysis services we use can also be found in this privacy policy.
