IP anonymisation
We use the “activation of IP anonymisation” function on this website. This means that your IP address is abbreviated by Google within the member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. Upon instruction by the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports about website activities and provide further services to the website operator associated with website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
Remarketing or “similar target groups” function of Google Inc.
On the website, the provider uses the remarketing or “similar target groups” function of Google Inc. (“Google”). Through this function, the provider can provide targeted advertising to visitors to the website, by displaying personalised, interest-related advertisements when they visit other websites in the Google display network. To carry out the analysis of website use, which forms the basis for compiling the interest-related advertisements, Google uses cookies. Google stores a small file with a sequence of numbers on the browsers of the visitors to the website. This number records the visits to the website, as well as anonymised data about the use of the website. There is no storing of personal data of the visitors to the website. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google display network, you are shown advertisements that most likely reflect previously viewed product and information areas. You can permanently deactivate the use of cookies by Google by following this link and downloading and installing the plugin provided there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by accessing the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative under http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and follow the stated further opt-out information.
