3.1.1 Google Analytics
3.1.1.1 What data does Google Analytics record?
This website uses Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or as far as third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
Google will never associate your IP address with other Google data. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above (Google Analytics Terms).

Under the following link you will find various information on data protection at Google.
3.1.1.2 IP masking / anonymization
As website operators, we have also initiated the anonymization of your IP. Thanks to IP masking, your IP address is altered so that no personally identifiable information can be gathered. This way, all other data such as location etc. can be recorded, so that they do not permit any inference as to your person without IP address.
We use the aggregated, anonymized data from Google Analytics, for example, to improve website performance or to evaluate our marketing activities.
1.4.1.3 How to prevent Google tracking: Browser Add-on
If you do not wish to be tracked on this or other websites via Google Analytics, you can download an add-on for various browsers at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
