7) Web Analytics Services

Google Analytics 4 This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), which enables an analysis of your use of our website. By default, when visiting the website, Google Analytics 4 does not use cookies unless you expressly agree to them. Instead, information about your usage behavior is collected and processed by so-called “pings” (small data packets sent to the host of a device). This information also includes your IP address, which, however, is shortened by Google by the last digits to exclude direct personal reference. The information is transmitted to and further processed on Google servers. Transfers to Google LLC based in the USA are also possible. Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for us, and to provide further services related to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics and shortened will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected in the context of the use of Google Analytics 4 will be stored for two months and then deleted. All the processing described above, including data transmission via “pings” and the possible setting of Google Analytics cookies, only takes place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. Without your consent, the use of Google Analytics 4 will not take place during your visit. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service via the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website. You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the collection of your data on future visits to this website: [ga-optout text=”Disable Google Analytics”] We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google, which ensures the protection of our site visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
