analysis services
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., to evaluate information on the type and scope of use of our site. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies” for this purpose. These are text files that can be stored on your computer. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. By activating IP anonymization on this website, however, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google 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 sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The transmission of personal data takes place on the basis of service agreements.

security with SSL encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us, we use 256-bit SSL encryption. If SSL encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
