On this site, the controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with the anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection and analysis of data on the behavior of site visitors. A web analytics service collects data about the site from which a person arrived (the so-called referrer), which pages visited or how often and for how long a page was viewed. Web analytics is used primarily for optimizing a website and for conducting a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The Google Analytics component carrier is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze traffic on our site. Google uses the data and information collected, among others, to evaluate the use of our site and to provide online reports showing activity on our site and to provide other related services.
