This data will not be disclosed to any third party without your express consent.

Data privacy regarding the use of Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service, Google Analytics. The provider of that service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files, which are stored on your computer and which make it possible to analyze the use of the website. Information concerning your use of the website that is generated by the cookie is sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

By activating IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will be sent to a Google server and truncated there only in exceptional cases.

The IP address transmitted within the context of Google analytics by your browser will not be merged with other data from Google.
