Data Protection and Privacy Policy Statement on the use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics services from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files stored on your computer to analyze how you use our website. Google usually transfers the information generated by the cookies about your use of this website to a server in the USA, where it is stored. However, in the event the anonymize IP function is activated on this website, Google first abbreviates your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other countries party to the agreement covering the European economic area.
In exceptional cases Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the USA, where it is abbreviated. Google uses this data on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and provide further services associated with website and Internet usage for the website operator. Google does not merge the browser IP address transferred by Google Analytics with other data collected by Google.
It is possible to change your browser settings to prevent cookies being stored on your computer; however, we would like to point out that in that case it is possible you will not be able to use all of the functions available on this website to the full extent.
