In addition, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

3. COLLECTION OF GENERAL DATA FOR USE IN GOOGLE ANALYTICS

This website uses an anonymized data collection system for web analysis and statistical use. Web analytics is the collection, aggregation and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors on websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website from which a person came, which pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a page was viewed. These analyzes are mainly used to generate statistical reports to allow the optimization of a website and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising. The data relating to each user is kept for 50 months, after which it is permanently deleted.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States of America.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. The definition of cookies is explained above. By setting the cookie, Google can analyse our website's use. With each call to one of the individual pages of this internet website, which is operated by the controller and in which a component of Google Analytics has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically send data via the component of the Google Analytics for online advertising purposes. In the course of this technical procedure, the Google company gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which allows Google, among other things, to understand the origin of visitors and carry out behavioural analyzes on the website.

The data subject can, as indicated above, prevent the setting of cookies on our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and therefore permanently deny the setting of cookies. This browser adjustment will also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the data subject's information technology system. In addition, cookies already used by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the possibility to object to a collection of data that is generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google. For this, the data subject must download a browser add-on at tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics – via JavaScript – that any data and information about visits to web pages cannot be transmitted to Google Analytics. Installing the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the data subject's information technology system is later erased, formatted, or newly installed, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics.

If the browser add-on has been uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence or is deactivated, it is possible to perform the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-on.

More information and Google's applicable data protection provisions can be found at www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy and also at www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is explained at www.google.com/analytics.
