1. Processing of data in server log files

This website is operated on a server system that creates log files. These files log each instance of access to the site, the user’s IP address and the following data: browser type and version, operating system, referrer URL, access status, file name, transferred data volume, and date and time of server request. This data is temporarily stored, statistically evaluated, and then deleted.

2. Cookies

This site uses cookies to enhance the user experience. (Cookies are small files sent from the web server to the user’s computer, where they are stored for later use.) You can block cookies by disabling storage of cookies in your browser.

3. Use of Google Analytics

This site uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer to analyse your site usage. The information gathered by the cookie (including your IP address) is sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on site activity for the site operator, and provide other services relating to site usage and Internet usage. Google may also share this information with third parties if required by law or if third parties are processing the data on behalf of Google. Google will never link your IP address to other data in its possession. You may block cookies by selecting the appropriate setting in your browser. Please note, however, that this may prevent you from making full use of the functions on this website. By using this website you consent to your data being used by Google in the aforementioned manner and for the purposes described above. You can prohibit the future collection and storage of this data at any time. There has been some debate surrounding the use of complete IP addresses by analytics tools. Please note that this site uses Google Analytics with the “_anonymizeIp()” feature, and therefore only processes shortened IP addresses to prevent your IP address being directly associated with you.
