Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.
The purpose of this data processing is to evaluate website usage and compile reports on website activity. Further related services will then be provided based on website and internet usage.
Legal basis:
The data is processed on the basis of the user’s consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Recipient:
The recipient of the data is Google as the data processor. For this purpose, we have concluded a corresponding data processing agreement with Google.
Storage period:
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes.
Third country transfer:
Google processes your data in the USA and has submitted to the EU_US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
