4. Cookies

In some areas of our website we use so-called cookies. These file elements enable your computer to be identified as a technical unit during your visit to this website. This facilitates the use of our products and services, and also if you visit again.

However, you usually have the opportunity to set your Internet browser in such a way that you are informed of the occurrence of cookies, so that you can permit or exclude these, or delete existing cookies.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics deploys so-called “cookies”, text files that are saved on your computer and enable the analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and is saved there. However, in the event of the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be abbreviated in advance by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contract states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted by Google to the USA and abbreviated there. Google will use this information on our behalf to analyse your use of the website, to put together reports on the website activities and to supply us with other services associated with use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not included with other data from Google. You can prevent the saving of cookies by setting your browser software correspondingly. However, we would point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website in full. Furthermore, you can prevent the recording of the data (including your IP address) generated by the cookie and about your use of the website by Google, as well as the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

We would point out that on this website, Google Analytics uses the extension code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure an anonymised recording of IP addresses (known as IP masking).

You can also prevent being recorded by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is then set, which prevents the further collection of your data by this website. This procedure is recommended in particular when accessing our website via mobile devices.
