Notes on data processing in connection with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller for this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

Google Analytics uses so-called “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 (including your abbreviated IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Google Analytics is used on this website exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This extension ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and precludes direct personal reference. The extension shortens Google’s IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the site operator, Google will use the information obtained to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the site operator with further services relating to website and internet use (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of the use of the website and the adaptation of the contents. The interests of the users are sufficiently protected by the pseudonymization.

Google LLC. is certified under the Privacy Shield (list entry here) and on this basis ensures an adequate level of data protection. The data sent and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached is carried out automatically once a month.

The collection of data by Google Analytics can be prevented by the site visitor adjusting the cookie settings for this website. The collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can also be objected to at any time with effect for the future. The corresponding browser plug-in can be downloaded and installed from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Visitors to the site can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website by clicking on the following link. This sets an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of data when visiting this website.

Further information about data usage by Google, settings and opt-out options can be found in Google’s privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the settings for the display of advertising by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
