Google will not associate the IP address transferred by your browser during the use of Google Analytics with any other data held by Google. We would like to point out that, on this website, Google Analytics has been enhanced with the code “_anonymizeIp();” in order to allow anonymized collection of IP addresses. This allows IP addresses to be shortened before they are processed further, thereby preventing them from being associated with any personal data. If the data concerning you that is collected using this feature can be used to determine your identity, it will be blocked immediately, thus erasing the personal data as soon as possible.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

Privacy Notice for Google Ads

This website uses Google Ads, an online marketing tool provided by Google (hereinafter referred to as “Google Ads”). Google Ads uses cookies to run ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to track which ads are displayed on which browser and to prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition to this, Google Ads may use cookie IDs to record “conversions” related to ad requests. This may occur, for example, when a user sees a Google Ads ad and later visits the advertiser’s website using the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, Google Ads cookies do not contain any personal information.

The marketing tools used by the service enable your browser to automatically establish a direct connection to the Google server. When Google Ads is enabled, Google receives the information that you have accessed a specific section of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit to our website with your account.

  • Deactivate interest-based ads from providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign using the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices; this setting will be erased if you erase your cookies.
