Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Use includes the Universal Analytics mode; this allows data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to be assigned to a pseudonymous user ID so that the activities of a user can be analysed across devices.

Google Analytics uses what are called “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow your use of the website to be analysed. The information about your use of the website generated by the cookie is generally transmitted to a Google Server in the United States and stored there. If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated in advance within member states of the European Union or in other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. Please note that Google Analytics has been expanded to include IP anonymisation on this website to guarantee that IP addresses are collected in anonymised form (“IP masking”). The IP address transmitted from your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be conflated with other Google data. For more information about terms and conditions of use and data protection, please see https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html and https://policies.google.com/?hl=en-GB
