Information gathered with the help of Cookies about your use of this website is regularly being transferred to servers operated by Google in the United States of America (‘US’) and stored there. We employ IP anonymization (so-called ‘IP-masking’) so that your IP address will be shortened by Google in the European Economic Area before being transferred to the US. Only in exceptional cases such as a technical failure, it may happen that your full IP address may be transferred to Google servers in the US and then be shortened, there. On our behalf, Google uses this information to examine your use of the website, to provide reports about the website’s use and to provide us with related services. The IP address transferred by your browser will not be combined with other data by Google.

You may block the storage of Cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, in this case not all functions of the website may still be available.
