4. Analytics and advertising

Google Analytics

We have activated the IP Anonymization feature on this website. Your IP address will
be shortened by Google within the European Union or other parties to the Agreement
on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in
exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the US and
shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this
website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity,
and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage for the

processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data
protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

generated containing statements about the age, gender, and interests of site
visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data.

This collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual
person. You can disable this feature at any time by adjusting the ads settings in your
Google account or you can forbid the collection of your data by Google Analytics as
described in the section “Refusal of data collection”
