This website and our services use the following types of cookies, the scope and functionality of which are explained below:
– Transient cookies (see b)
– Persistent cookies (see c).
b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include session cookies, in particular.

The information on your use of the website, which is generated by the cookie, is usually transmitted to Google and stored on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will first shorten your IP address in a member state of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement governing the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA, where it will be truncated. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide the website operator with further services associated with the use of the website and the internet.
The IP address provided by your browser, within the scope of Google Analytics, will not be combined with other data from Google.

As a result, IP addresses are only processed in truncated form, in order to prevent Google from identifying specific individuals. If any of your data that is collected can identify you personally, it will be blocked immediately and deleted as soon as possible.
