In order to make our website as user-friendly as possible, we analyse anonymised data which is collected by means of a statistical programme when the website is visited. This programme is called Google Analytics, a website analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer to analyse your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and saved there.
If IP anonymisation is activated, such as on this website, Google will shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or other countries which are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the website operator to analyse your website use, create reports about website activity and to provide other services related to the use of the website and of the Internet.
The IP address transmitted from your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You may also prevent Google from obtaining and processing data collected by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the following browser plugin from the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptoutexternal icon

The Opt-Out add-on only functions in this browser and for this domain. An Opt-Out cookie will then be stored on your device.

This website also uses Google Analytics features for advertisers: Remarketing with Google Analytics, Google display network impression reporting, Integration of DoubleClick platform and Google Analytics reports as a service based on demographic characteristics and interests. With regard to display advertising, adverts are shown from third-party providers, including Google. These websites and third parties, including Google, use cookies. The combined use of first-party cookies (e.g. Google Analytics cookies) and third-party cookies (e.g. Doubleclick cookies) enables advertising to be more target-oriented based on previous visits. This optimises advert orientation, ad delivery and advertisement placement. With regard to Google AdWords advertising, remarketing lists for classified ads are used. As a result, search results are better adjusted to meet the needs of the searcher. Reports are also used to optimise adverts based on demographic characteristics and interests. This form of advertising takes place completely under a pseudonym. No personal information is saved and no user profile is associated with your personal details. You can amend or deactivate this option for displaying Google adverts on the following link: www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=deexternal icon
