We have activated the IP anonymisation option on this website. Your IP address is thus shortened by Google in European Union member states or other signatory states to the European Economic Area Treaty before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

This data is acquired from Google’s interest-related advertising and from visitor data of third party providers. Such data cannot be attributed to a specific person. You can deactivate this at any time using the display settings in your Google account or prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data in general as described in the section “Objection to data collection”.
