This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. "("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. 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 the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet use.
The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

b) Google reCaptcha
To ensure that actions are performed by a natural person and not a programmed bot, we use the reCaptcha service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter "Google").
In this context, abuses and manipulations (e.g. automatic and automated processing) on the Internet are checked on the basis of text distortions or other input fields that cannot be easily read or answered by a machine. For this purpose, data is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there; it is not stored on our own server. By activating IP anonymisation (done by manual adaptation) on our website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the European Economic Area Agreement. Only in certain exceptional cases is the complete IP address transmitted to the server in the USA. On our behalf, Google will use the information obtained to evaluate the use of these services and, if the data storage is deactivated, to store it for a maximum period of 14 months in accordance with the GDPR. The transmitted IP address of your browser is not merged with other Google data within the scope of reCaptcha.
The service includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCap-tcha service to Google. For more information about Google Inc.'s privacy policy, please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy.
