“Cookies”, Internet “Tags” and Other Online Data
We use so-called cookies on our websites to recognize repeated use of our services by the same user / internet connection owner. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. They are used to optimize our website and our services.
In some cases, these cookies provide information that allows us to automatically recognize you. This recognition is based on the IP address stored in the cookies. The information obtained in this way is used to optimize our services and to facilitate easier access to our website.
You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our websites to their full extent. By using these websites—without preventing the installation of cookies through the appropriate browser software settings—you consent to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner and for the purpose described above.
Google Analytics and Matomo
Our websites use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted 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 website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide further services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
We also use the analytics tool Matomo. It has the same functionality as Google Analytics; however, the data remain on our servers and do not leave them.
