Google Analytics
This website uses features of the Google Analytics web analytics service. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The use includes the "Universal Analytics" operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions, and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID, enabling cross-device tracking of a user's activities.
Google Analytics uses "cookies." These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, by enabling IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
The legal basis for using Google Analytics is § 15 Abs. 3 TMG or Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The user and event-level data stored with cookies, user identifiers (e.g., User ID), or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached its retention time limit is deleted automatically once a month. For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit:
