reliability, behavior, location or relocation of that natural person.

Google
Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the gathering, collection
and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other
things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a data subject
has come to a website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website
were accessed or how often and for which period of time a subpage was viewed. A
web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit
analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of
the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain
View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Google
Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use
of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored
there. Google might transfer the personal information collected via this
technical procedure to third parties.

As IP
anonymization is activated on our website, your IP address will be shortened by
Google within Member States of the European Union or other states in agreement
with the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address
is sent to and shortened by a Google server in the USA. On behalf of the
operator of the website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use
of the website, compile reports on website activity and to provide further
services related to website and internet use to us. The IP address transferred
through your browser to Google Analytics will not be combined with other data
held by Google.

In addition,
this website uses the Analytics feature UserID to track interaction data. This
User ID will be additionally anonymized and encrypted and will not be linked
with other data.

the storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software;
however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the
