Google Analytics

With your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The responsible entity in the EU/EEA is Google Ireland Limited, Dublin, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze your use of the website. The information generated is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We have activated IP anonymization, so your IP address is shortened within the EU/EEA before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to the USA.

Google uses this data on our behalf to evaluate website usage, compile reports, and provide related services. The IP address transmitted by your browser will not be merged with other Google data.

During your visit, user behavior is recorded in the form of “events”, such as:

  • Page views
  • First-time visits
  • Session starts
  • Click paths and interactions
  • Scrolling behavior (e.g. reaching 90% of page)
  • Clicks on external links
  • Internal searches
  • Video interactions
  • File downloads
  • Ad views and clicks
  • Language settings

Additionally recorded:

  • Approximate location (region)
  • IP address (shortened)
  • Technical information about browser and device
  • Internet provider
  • Referrer URL

Data may be transferred to the USA. The USA is considered a third country without an equivalent level of data protection. Access by US authorities cannot be excluded.

You can withdraw your consent at any time or prevent data collection by not consenting to cookies or installing a browser add-on to disable Google Analytics.
