The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there. If anonymisation of the IP address to be transmitted by the cookie is activated on the website („IP anonymisation“), your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before.

We use Google Analytics for the purpose of analysing the use of our website and to continuously improve individual functions and offers as well as the user experience. By statistically evaluating user behaviour, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
