§7 Web Analytics
Use of Google Analytics
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses what are known as “cookies” – text files stored on your computer – for the purpose of analysing the way you use the website. The information generated by the cookies regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA where it is stored. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other countries which are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area is first shortened by Google. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. By order of the operator of this website, Google will use this information in order to analyse your use of the website, compile reports on website activities and provide additional services related to the use of the website and the internet for the website operator.
(2) The IP address transferred by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not combined with other data by Google.
(3) You can prevent the cookies from being stored by selecting an appropriate setting of your browser software. However, we should point out that, in this case, you may not be able to make full use of all this website’s functions. Furthermore, you can prevent the capture of data (including your IP address) generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website by Google as well as the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB.
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the “_anonymizeIp()” extension. IP addresses are thereby shortened prior to further processing, excluding the possibility of associating them with specific persons. Insofar as a personal reference is established by the data collected about you, this is excluded immediately and the personal data are promptly erased.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyse the use of our website and improve it regularly. The statistics we obtain allow us to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases where data with a personal reference are transmitted to the USA, Google has agreed to be bound by the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
