Cookies are used to analyze how users use the website. The information generated in this way is usually transferred to and stored on a Google server in the United States.

You can prevent this by configuring your browser so that no cookies are stored.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider. User data is retained for a period of 14 months.

IP anonymization is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our services and our website. As the privacy of our users is important to us, user data is pseudonymized.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the settings of your browser software. However, this may mean that not all functions of this website can be used without restrictions.
