2.2 This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are small text files stored on your computer that enable us to analyse how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will be transmitted to Google and stored on servers in the United States. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will shorten your IP address within the member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it. Only in exceptional cases will Google transfer your full IP address to a server in the United States and shorten it there.

2.3 This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a tool that enables marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect personal data.

In the event of deactivation at domain or cookie level, the deactivation remains effective for all tracking tags implemented using Google Tag Manager.
When you visit our website, Google receives information that you have accessed our website. This information is collected via a web beacon that places a cookie on your computer.

Your data is sent to the USA and analysed there. If you are logged into your Google account, this data may be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you need to log out. It is possible that this data will be shared with Google’s contract partners and with third parties and government agencies. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR. This website does not display third-party advertisements via Google Tag Manager.
You can prevent the installation of Google Tag Manager cookies in a number of ways: a) through a setting in your browser software; in particular the deactivation of third-party cookies means that you will not see advertisements from third parties; b) by deactivating interest-based adverts from Google; this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating interest-based adverts from providers who are signed up to the self-regulation ‘About Ads’ program; this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; d) through permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser under the link.
