2. This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files which are stored on your computer and enable the analysis of your use of the website. As a rule, the information, which the cookie (cf. point 5) generates concerning your use of this website, is transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, Google will first truncate your IP address within the Member States of the European Union or in other states, which are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and truncated there. Under contract for the operator of this website, Google will use that information in order to evaluate your use of the web-site, in order to compile reports on website activities, and in order to furnish addi-tional services to the website operator in connection with the use of the website and with the use of the Internet (as described in cf. point 2.2 remarketing technol-ogy of Google AdWords). You can use the relevant setting in your browser soft-ware to prevent the storage of the cookies; be advised, however, that not all of the functions of this website can be used in their entirety in that case.
Furthermore, in order to prevent Google from recording the cookie-generated data relative to your use of the website (including your IP address) and to prevent Google from processing those data, you can download and install the browser plug-in from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
