This Website uses Google Analytics, a web-analysing service by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", i.e. small text files saved on the computers of Customers and allowing the analysis of web usage. The information created by this cookie regarding the usage of this Website (including the IP addresses) is sent to, and saved onto, a Google server in the USA. IP-anonymity is active on this Website, which means the IP address of members within Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area will be shortened by Google beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information to analyse the usage of the Website, compile reports on the web traffic for the Website owners and provide other services related to the usage of the Website and the Internet. Furthermore, Google will send this information to third parties only if required by law or if third parties will process this information on behalf of Google. The IP address disclosed by the Customer's web browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with all the other data compiled by Google.

A specific setting of their web browser allows Customers to prevent cookies from being saved; however, they are reminded that that they will no longer be able to use all the functions of the Website in full. Furthermore, Customers can prevent the capture of the data created by the cookies and related to their usage of the Website (including their IP address), as well as the processing of the data by Google, by downloading and installing the following browser plugin available at the link below: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
