Use of Google Analytics and Google AdWords
This website makes use of “Google Analytics”, a web analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (in the following referred to as „Google“). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files which are stored on the user’s computer enabling the analysis of the use of this website.
The information generated by the cookie about the user’s use of the website are usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. However: For this website, “IP anonymisation” was activated. This results in abbreviating the IP address of this computer by Google before transmitting it outside of EU member states (by 3 digits). Only in exceptional cases the complete IP address will initially be transmitted to a Google server in the USA, and will there be abbreviated before storage. A clear assignment of the IP address is therefore not possible any more. Google observes the data protection rules of the “US Safe Harbor” agreement and is registered with the “Safe Harbor” programme of the US Department of Commerce. The user’s IP address, transmitted by Google Analytics from your browser, cannot and will not be merged with other data collected by Google. Google will transfer this information to third parties, where appropriate and required to do so by law or where such third parties process the data on behalf of Google. Please note that Google uses its own privacy protection rules (http://www.google.de/intl/en/privacy.html), which are independent from ours. We assume no responsibility or liability for these rules and procedures.
Google will exclusively use (anonymous) information collected on behalf of the operator of this website to analyse the use of this website. This includes e.g. compiling reports about website activities, as well as providing further services for the website operator relating to the use of the website and the internet.
