Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files that are stored on your computer and allow us to analyse your use of the website. The information generated by the cookies regarding the use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymisation is enabled on this website, however, your IP address will be abbreviated by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other signatories to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there.
