This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how visitors use this website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will usually be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States of America. In the case that IP anonymization is activated on this website, the IP address assigned to your computer is truncated by Google beforehand within the member states of the European Union and other members of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States of America and shortened there. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website, to analyse your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and additional services to the operator of the website in connection with the use of the website and internet use.

In view of the discussion about the use of analysis tools with complete IP addresses, we would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()" and therefore IP addresses are only processed further in abbreviated form in order to exclude direct personal reference.
