This website employs SSL/TLS encryption for security purposes, safeguarding the transmission of sensitive content, including the requests you send to us as the site operator. You can identify an encrypted connection when the address line in your browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the presence of a lock symbol in your browser's address bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us becomes inaccessible to third parties, ensuring its confidentiality.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics 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 conducted by Google LLC. Hereinafter, Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited will be collectively referred to as "Google."
The statistics we obtain through Google Analytics help us enhance our offerings and make them more engaging for you as a user. This website also employs Google Analytics for cross-device analysis of visitor traffic, carried out using a user ID. If you have a Google user account, you can disable cross-device analysis of your usage in the settings under "My Data" and "Personal Data."
The legal basis for using Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. The IP address sent by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We want to highlight that on this website, Google Analytics has been extended with the code "_anonymizeIp()" to ensure the anonymized collection of IP addresses. This means that IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, making it impossible to link them to a specific individual. In cases where data collected about you is connected to an individual, such data is immediately excluded, and personal information is promptly deleted.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the website operator to assess your website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. In exceptional instances where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield, as detailed at https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
Google Analytics employs cookies. Typically, information generated by the cookie about your website usage is sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can decline the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser, though please be aware that this might limit your ability to use all the features of this website.
