Google Analytics (Google Inc.)
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses cookies, i.e. text files stored on your computer to enable analysis of website usage by you. You can find detailed information on how Google Analytics uses cookies here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/cookie-usage
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function, whereby Google truncates the IP address within the Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is a full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf this website’s owner, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports about website activities, and provide the website’s operator with further services related to website and Internet usage.
For exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the United States, Google has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield (https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework).
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is GDPR Article 6 (1) point a, i.e. your consent. Any data that we send, and which is linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs, is automatically erased after 26 months. Any data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically erased once a month.

Plugins and Tools

For uniform representation of fonts, this website uses web fonts provided by Google. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, your browser has to establish a direct connection to Google servers. Google thus becomes aware that our web page was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web fonts is done in the interest of a uniform and attractive presentation of our website. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font is used by your computer.
