Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) for web analysis. Google Analytics uses cookies that are saved your computer, allowing an analysis of website use. The generated information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored in line with the US Safe Harbour Privacy Principles.

Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website on our account, compile reports on website activity and provide site owners with further services relating to website and internet use.

We only use Google Analytics with active IP anonymisation. This means that Google shortens the IP address of website visitors from the European Union and its other contracting states. Only in exceptions is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

To prevent the cookie-generated collection of website activity data and it being processing by Google, download and install the following browser add-on: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

We use the Google Analytics features to analyse website use, e.g. through anonymous reports and graphs on page views and visits, for remarketing, reports on impressions within the Google Display Network, integration of the DoubleClick Campaign Manager and Google Analytics reports by demographic traits and interests.

Google Analytics saves cookies in your web browser for the duration of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated User ID, which allows you to be recognised on future visits.

The collected data is stored with the randomly generated User ID, enabling the evaluation of pseudonym user profiles. These user-related details are automatically deleted after 14 months. All other data remains stored indefinitely.

You can find further information on the terms of use and data protection at www.google.com/analytics/terms/ and https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.
