The website also uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp ()" so that data is processed only anonymously. The IP address is shortened by the last three digits, and therefore a clear assignment of the IP address is no longer possible.

Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose to evaluate your use of the website, in order to compile reports about website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.

As an AdWords customer we also use Google Conversion Tracking, an analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; „Google“). Google Adwords stores a cookie on your computer (“conversion cookie”) if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies become invalid after 30 days and are not used for purposes of personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie is still valid, we and Google can see that someone has clicked the ad and was forwarded to our website. Every AdWords customer receives their own cookie. It is impossible to track cookies via the websites of AdWords customers. Cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of advertisers. The information collected by the conversion cookies are used to create conversion statistics for AdWords clients who have chosen conversion tracking. These AdWords clients find out the overall number of users who have clicked their ad and were forwarded to a page that carries a conversion tracking tag. They do not receive any information that would allow them to identify any user. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you may also refuse the required setting of a cookie – by way of a browser setting, which generally disables the automatic setting of cookies. You may also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by blocking cookies set by the domain "googleadservices.com" in your browser.

We also use Google AdSense, a web advertisement service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google”) to control advertising (text advertisements, banners, etc.) Therefore, your browser may save a cookie sent by Google or a third party. The information saved in the cookie can be recorded, collected and analyzed by Google or a third party. In addition, Google AdSense also uses small, invisible graphics to collect information, and the use of these allows simple actions such as visitor traffic on the website being recorded, collected and analyzed. The information generated by the cookie and/or graphics concerning your use of this website will be passed on to a Google server in the USA and saved there. Google uses the information obtained in this way to perform an evaluation of your usage patterns with regard to the AdSense ads. Google may also transmit this information to third parties where required by law, or for third parties to process the information on behalf of Google. Google does not associate your IP address with other saved data held by Google. You can prevent cookies from being saved on your hard drive as well as the use of the aforementioned graphics. The same applies to these cookies as to the others mentioned above: To do so you need to deactivate the acceptance of cookies in your browser settings.
