Web Analytics Tools
This website makes use of Google Analytics, a web analytics tool created by Google Incl. ('Google' Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google Analytics makes use of cookies, which are files that are saved on your computer and make analysis of website usage possible. In general, this data is transferred to a server in the USA, where it is saved. In case of IP-anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be shortened before being sent to the USA (provided you are within an EU country or a country within the European Economic Area). Only in exceptional cases will your full IP address be sent to Google, where it will then be shortened. On behalf of the owner of this website, Google will then use this information in order to evaluate your usage of the website, to create reports about website activity, and in order to enable other services concerning website usage and internet usage. The IP address that is sent by your browser to Google Analytics will not be combined with any other data by Google.
You can prevent cookies from being saved in your browser settings; however we do not recommend this, as this could mean that certain features of the website do not function properly. If you would like to prevent Google from saving your data, prevent them from processing your data in any way (including your IP address), or view the data that Google has saved about you, you can download and install a browser plugin to this effect. This tool can be found here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Please note: our website uses Google Analytics with the new, data-policy friendly extension _anonymizelp(). Therefore, your IP address will only be forwarded in a shortened format so that it cannot be used to personally identify you.
