Google Analytics
This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses "cookies," text files stored on your computer, to help analyse how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP Anonymisation
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. As a result, Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your website usage, compile reports on website activities, and provide further services associated with website and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.

YouTube
Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit one of our pages featuring a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Here the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you're logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. YouTube is used to help make our website appealing. This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO.
