Google Analytics uses “cookies.” These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device and that enable an analysis of the website usage.

IP anonymization
We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization function. This ensures that Google truncates your IP address within the member states of the European Union or in other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, before transmitting it to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and truncates it there. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, generate reports about website activities, and provide us with further services related to website usage and Internet usage. The IP addresses transmitted by Google Analytics are not combined with other data from Google.
