Social media plugins

Web analysis using Google Analytics
Our website uses features provided by the web analysis service Google Analytics, Google LLC (Google), registered office: Mountain View, California, USA.

You can prevent the processing of your data by adjusting the settings in your browser so that no cookies are stored. Your IP address is saved and anonymised immediately (by deleting the final 8 bits) before it is transmitted to the Google servers. As a result, only approximate localisation is possible. Relations with the web analysis provider are based on the ‘EU-US Privacy Shield agreement of the EU’.
Our objective within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is to improve our services and our website. Since we care about our users’ privacy, user data is anonymised prior to transmission.
