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. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be shortened within member states of the European Union or in other Contracting States of the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring your browser software accordingly; we would like to point out, however, that you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent in this case. In addition, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

We would like to point out that Google Analytics on this website has been extended by the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” in order to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses.

To protect your enquiries via internet form, we use the reCAPTCHA service of the company Google Inc. (Google). The query is used to distinguish whether the entry was made by a human or by automated, abusive, machine processing. The query includes the transmission of the IP address and other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose your input is transmitted to Google and further used there.
