Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. Please note that IP anonymization has been added to Google Analytics on this website to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).
