GOOGLE ANALYTICS
Please note that this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files stored on your computer that allow the analysis of your use of this website. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymization is activated for this website, meaning that Google shortens your IP address within the member states of the European Union or other states that are part of the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google, on behalf of the owner of this website, uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. You can block the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate setting in your browser. However, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. Additionally, you can prevent the collection of data generated by cookies regarding your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en .
Our website uses social plugins (“Plugins”) for the social network Facebook, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are marked with the Facebook logo or the addition of “Facebook Social Plugin.” You can find an overview of Facebook plugins and their appearance here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.
When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Facebook receives information that your browser has accessed the respective page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can associate your visit to our website with your Facebook profile. If you interact with the plugins, for example, by pressing the “Like” button or leaving a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. Additionally, the information is published on your Facebook profile and shown to your Facebook friends. Facebook may use this information for advertising purposes, market research, and the personalized design of Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest, and relationship profiles, e.g., to evaluate your use of our website concerning the ads displayed on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to associate the data collected via our website directly with your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection, further processing, and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s data protection policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php.
