Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of how you use our website. Information about your use of this website generated by the cookie will generally be transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will however first be masked by Google in member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the United States and masked there. On behalf of the operator of this website Google will use such information to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports about website activity, and to provide the website operator with additional services related to website use and Internet use.
b) The IP address transmitted by your browser in connection with Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data of Google.
c) You may block cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser; we advise you however that if you do so, you may no longer be able to use all features of this website to the full extent.

d) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymize Ip().” As a result, IP addresses are masked before being processed, thereby ruling out that an IP address can be correlated with any particular individual.
