Data processing related to Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited.
 If the data processing related to Google Analytics takes place outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, it is carried out by Google LLC.
 (Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC are hereinafter referred to as “Google”.)

The integration of this website with Google Analytics and the associated data processing are carried out by Jimdo.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files stored on your device, to help analyze how users use the website.
 The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your truncated IP address) is usually transmitted to and stored by Google.

On this website, Google Analytics is used exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”.
 This ensures that IP addresses are anonymized by truncation and excludes any direct personal reference.
 As a result, Google truncates the IP address of website visitors within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
 Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

The IP address transmitted by the visitor’s browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
 The legitimate interest lies in optimizing this website, analyzing its use, and tailoring content.
 The interests of users are adequately protected by the anonymization of IP addresses.

Google guarantees an adequate level of data protection on the basis of standard contractual clauses.
 Data linked to cookies, user IDs, or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months.
 The deletion of data whose retention period has expired is carried out automatically once a month.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser.
 You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by cookies related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at:
 http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Alternatively, you can prevent data collection via Google Analytics on this website by adjusting your cookie settings.
 An opt-out cookie will then be set to prevent future collection of your data when visiting this website.
