However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. With this function, Google shortens the IP address already within the EU or the EEA.

The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.

a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information. This add-on can be installed with common internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you access our website. The add-on notifies the JavaScript (ga.js) from Google Analytics that information about visiting our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. You can of course also find out in this data protection declaration whether and which other web analysis services we use.

"Alternatively, the future analysis of your website visit can be deactivated by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. By "clicking" on the link, a so-called "opt-out cookie" is set, which means that the analysis of your visit to our site will be prevented in the future:
