Technically speaking, we use cookies that make it possible to recognise a web browser.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

By extension, your IP address is previously truncated by Google in the member states of the European Union or other parties to the agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the US and truncated there. In such exceptional cases, processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate how you use this website, in order to compile reports on website activities and to provide us with additional services that relate to website and Internet use. The IP address transferred by your browser as a part of the Google Analytics service is not merged with other data from Google.
