3.) Another way to refuse a web analysis by Google Analytics is to set an opt-out cookie, which instructs Google not to use your data for the purposes of web analysis. Please note that with this solution, the web analysis will only be refused as long as the opt-out cookie is stored by the browser. If you would like to set the opt-out cookie, please click here.
Further information: This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files saved on your computer, to enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is transmitted to a Google server in the United States, where it is stored. Given that we have activated IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google in a member state of the European Union or in another signatory country to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the United States and shortened there (an adequate level of data protection is ensured according to Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR because Google is a participant in the Privacy Shield Agreement). At our request, Google will use this information for the purposes of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing us with other services relating to website activity and Internet use. Google will not associate the IP address transferred by your browser for Google Analytics with any other data held by Google.
You can prevent data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected or processed by Google by using one of the three aforementioned options.
