8. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google uses ‘cookies’, i.e. text files that are saved to your computer, allowing for the analysis of your website use. We process your data on the basis of our compelling legitimate interest to generate cost-efficient and easy-to-use statistics on website access (Article 6(1) b General Data Protection Regulation). The information on your use of this website (including your IP address and the URLs of accessed websites) generated by the cookie is transferred to a Google server in the USA where it is stored. We do not hold any of your data which are collected for Google Analytics. This website uses the option of IP anonymisation offered by Google Analytics. To that end, Google shall truncate/anonymise your IP address as soon as it receives the address. Google shall use this information on our behalf to analyse your use of the website, to generate reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services associated with website and Internet use. Your browser IP address, which is shared with Google for the Google Analytics service, is not linked with other data. You can prevent cookies from being saved on your device by changing the settings in your browser software. Please be aware, however, that in this case you may not always have access to the full functionality of this website.

9. Server-Log-Files

The website provider collects and saves information automatically in server log files which your browser shares automatically with us. These include:

11. SSL Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential data, such as queries that you send to us as website provider, this website uses SSL encryption.

If SSL encryption is enabled, third parties cannot read the data that you have shared with us.
