Cookies analyse the frequency of visits, the number of users of the pages, the behavior while using pages. Cookies also help us to create a more client-friendly experience on our website.

Google Analytics requires cookies. These are small text files which enable the end device of the user to save user-specific information that is related to the user, while the user visits the website. The cookies enable an analysis of the use of our websites provided by Google. The information collected through a cookie reflecting the use of our sites (including your IP-address) will be transmitted to and saved on a server of Google in the US. We would like to point out that this website contains the following extension code for Google Analytics: „gat._anonymizeIp();“, in order to enable an anonymized collection of IP-addresses (called IP-masking). When the anonymization process is active, Google is shortening IP-addresses within member states of the European Union and within other signatory states of the European Economic Area, which is why an identification of your identity is made impossible. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP-address be transmitted to a server at Google in the US, and shortened there.  Google respects the data protection laws of the ‘Privacy Shield Law’ and is a registered member of the ‘Privacy Shield Program’ of the US trade ministry. Google uses the information collected to analyse the use of our websites, create reports and facilitate other website-related services to us.
