Google Analytics uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that make it possible to store specific user-related information on the user's device while visiting websites. These cookies allow Google to analyse user activity on our website. The data regarding your use of our site (including your IP address) that is captured by the cookie is normally transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been expanded through the use of the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" to ensure that any IP addresses collected are anonymised (this is referred to as IP masking). When IP anonymisation has been activated, Google shortens IP addresses from member states of the European Union or any other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area such that it is not possible to conclude the identity of these users. Only in exceptional cases will a complete IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google adheres to the "US Safe Harbor" privacy principle and is registered with the "Safe Harbor" programme from the US Department of Commerce and uses the information collected to evaluate the use of our websites, to compile reports for us on this usage as well as to provide us with other related services.
