Information on Data Processing Related to Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller of this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is handled by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are referred to as “Google” below.
Google Analytics uses "cookies" – text files that are stored on the visitor's device and allow an analysis of website usage. The information generated by the cookie (including the anonymized IP address) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension, which ensures IP anonymization by shortening the IP address and prevents direct personal identification. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information to evaluate website usage, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website and internet usage (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The legitimate interest in processing lies in optimizing the website, analyzing its use, and tailoring content. Users' interests are adequately protected through pseudonymization.
Google LLC provides appropriate data protection levels based on standard contractual clauses. Data linked with cookies, user IDs, or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has been reached are automatically deleted once per month.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by adjusting the cookie settings for this website. You can also object to the future collection and storage of your IP address and data generated by cookies at any time by installing the browser plugin available at the following link:
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
Alternatively, click the following link to opt out of Google Analytics tracking on this site. This will set an opt-out cookie to prevent future data collection when visiting this website.

reCAPTCHA
To protect your requests via internet form, we use the reCAPTCHA service from Google LLC. This query is used to distinguish whether the input is made by a human or misused by automated, machine processing. It involves transmitting the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service.
Your input will be sent to Google and used there. However, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA is not merged with other Google data. The differing privacy policies of Google apply to this data.
