Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web-analysis service belonging to Google Inc. (hereinafter referred to as Google).

Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your device and help the website analyse how you use it. The information generated by the cookie about how you use the website is usually forwarded to a Google server in the US and stored there. IP anonymisation has been enabled on this website so that, within the member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the Google users’ IP addresses are truncated beforehand. The full IP address will only be forwarded to a Google server in the US and truncated there in exceptional cases; therefore, we would like to point out that, in certain circumstances, data processing as part of Google Analytics may also take place in the US outside EU jurisdiction. Please note the following in this regard: according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no “adequate protection” to EU standards of personal data processed in the US. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for monitoring and control purposes and that you may not have any legal recourse to object to these measures.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address sent by Google Analytics from your browser will not be combined with other Google data.

We only use Google Analytics if you have given us your consent. If you have provided consent to the use of performance cookies on our website, we would like to point out that Google may also combine the usage data with information and personal data from other Google services, such as search history, personal accounts, user data from other devices, and any other data Google has about the user.

You can prevent cookies being stored by making an appropriate setting in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that you might not be able to use all this website’s functions if you do so.

Furthermore, you can also opt out of Google capturing the data generated by the cookie and relating to your usage of the website (including your IP address) and to Google processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link. The current link is:

Alternatively, you can prevent Google Analytics capturing the data by disabling the performance cookies in the cookie settings.

Please note that you will have to make the setting on each device and for each different browser.

This website uses the "gat._anonymizeIp();" function, which ensures that IP addresses are anonymised when data is collected. Therefore, no link can be made to a particular person.

The following data can be captured:

• IP address, in a truncated, anonymised form
• Referrer URL
• The frequency and duration of visits to pages
• Pages and subpages visited
• Information about location
• Device information
• Browser information
• Usage data
• Date and time of the visit
