These cookies can show, for example, if you have already visited a particular website. Most browsers accept cookies automatically, however, you can change your browser’s settings so that it does not store cookies or so that it asks for your explicit permission before storing a cookie. In addition, you can delete cookies that have already been set at any time. Please note that deactivating cookies may lead to limitations on the use of our website.

Information about Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses cookies, that is, small text files that are saved on users’ computers to enable analysis of their use of this website. The information generated by cookies about the usage of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google truncates users’ IP addresses within Member States of the European Union or European Economic Area before it is transmitted. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. IP anonymisation has been activated for this website. Google uses this information on behalf of the website operator to evaluate usage of the website, compile website activity reports and perform other services associated with website activity and Internet usage for the website operator.

The IP address transmitted from your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data. Users can prevent cookies from being stored using the relevant setting in their browser software, however, users should be aware that they may not be able to completely use all of this website’s functions in that case. Users can also prevent the logging of data generated through the cookie and their use of the website (including their IP address) by Google and the processing of this data through Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available via the following link:
