§ 4 Use of Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. 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 for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. (2) The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. ``` (3) You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. (4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This extension shortens IP addresses before further processing, thus preventing them from being linked to a specific individual. Therefore, any personal data collected about you is immediately anonymized and thus promptly deleted. (5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. The statistics we obtain allow us to improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research, and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right.
