Google Analytics

Through our website, a cookie is placed on your computer by the U.S. company Google as part of its Analytics service. We use this service to keep track of, and receive reports on, how visitors use our website. Google may provide this information to third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so, or if third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. We have no control over this. We have not granted Google permission to use the analytics information obtained for other Google services.

The information that Google collects is anonymised as much as possible. Your IP address is explicitly not part of the collected information. The information is transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google pledges to comply with the Privacy Shield principles and is affiliated with the Privacy Shield programme of the U.S. Department of Commerce. This means that there is an adequate level of protection for the processing of any personal data.
