The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website pages will normally be transmitted to and stored on a Google server located in the USA. The data controller uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "ga('set', 'anonymizeIp', true)", ensuring the processing of IP addresses only in an abbreviated form to exclude direct reference to individuals. Google may only pass data on to third parties where required to do so by law or where third parties process the data on behalf of Google. Google will not disclose a user's IP address in connection with any other Google data. Users may prevent the recording and storage of Google Analytics data at any time by installing the browser plug-in released by Google, which can be downloaded at following link

Universal Analytics.

The Data Controller uses the Universal-Analytics features provided by Google. With these functions, the Data Controller can record and analyse socio-demographic data about users using Google ID (if available) and cookies created by Google based on advertising content (DoubleClick). If a Google ID is available, the Data Controller will also record this data on all devices (e.g. if users use a smartphone and a PC) in order to analyse visitor flows across all devices. Users can prevent Google from recording and saving data at any time by installing a browser plug-in released by Google, which can be downloaded at following link

The Data Controller uses the advertising features of Google Analytics, which allow users who have already visited the Website and expressed interest in certain offers to be retargeted through targeted advertising on Google's partner network pages.

  • Date and time of access to our website. This helps us determine the peak traffic hours and make the necessary adjustments to avoid saturation problems during peak hours.
