You can object to data processing by web tracking tools at any time. You can find out how to do this in the following passages on the respective tracking services.

6.Google Analytics

In order to design our website according to needs, we create pseudonymous usage profiles with the help of Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are stored on your end device and can be read by us. In this way we are able to recognize returning visitors and count them as such. The data is processed on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR and in the interest of finding out how often our websites have been accessed by different users.

However, since we have activated IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website for us, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage.

You can object to the creation of pseudonymous usage profiles at any time. There are several ways to do this:

1.) One way to object to web analysis by Google Analytics is to set an opt-out cookie, which instructs Google not to save or use your data for web analysis purposes. Please
note that with this solution, the web analysis will only not take place as long as the opt-out cookie is stored by the browser. If you want to set the opt-out cookie now, please click here.
