The information collected through these cookies is normally transferred to a server operated by Google Inc. in the United States of America and stored there.

This website is using IP anonymisation: Within the member states of the European Union and the member states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the user’s IP address is shortened, thereby making it no longer possible to link your IP address with you.

You can furthermore use a browser plugin to prevent that the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) is sent to Google Inc. and consequently used by Google Inc. The following link will direct you to this plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en-GB

Alternatively, clicking this link [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?] prevents that Google Analytics collects information on you within the scope of this website. When you click the link above, an “opt-out cookie” is downloaded. Your browser therefore has to be set to store cookies in principle. If you regularly delete your local cookies, you need to click the link above again when you visit this website.
