3. Cookies and web-tracking

a. Cookies

Cookies are used in some areas to make our website user-friendly and to customize it to perfectly suit your needs. "Cookies" are small text files stored locally on the hard drive of your computer. They are there to keep available information for retrieval at a later time in order to facilitate the use of our online services.

This information is used separately from personal data. The two sets of data are not merged; therefore, they are not indicative of personal data and one cannot generate any such conclusions therefrom.

c. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a Google Inc. ("Google") provided web analysis service. Google Analytics uses "cookies" – text files that are stored on your computer and allow analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie on your use of the website is generally sent to a server of Google in the USA, where it is saved.
However, by activating the IP anonymisation  on this website, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred by Google to a server in the USA, where it is shorted.
Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google will not associate your abbreviated IP address sent by your browser with any other data held by Google.
You may prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser's software settings (see d. below); in this case however, we must point out that you might not be able to access the full extent of all of the website's features.
You can furthermore prevent the recording and processing of these data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link [http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de].
