If the controller responsible for data processing on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google”. When Google Analytics is used, the data processing is technically performed by WordPress. In this respect, reference is hereby made to the data protection information of WordPress.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on the device used and that enable an analysis of the use of the website by the site visitor. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there.
Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()” on this website. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes the possibility of direct personal references. The extension shortens the IP address of Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The IP address transmitted by the corresponding browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

The interests of users are adequately protected by pseudonymization.
Google is certified in accordance with the Privacy Shield (list entry here) and guarantees an appropriate level of data protection on this basis. The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months.
