5. Google Analytics

a) Scope of the data processing

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

This software collects information about how you use the website and uses it to compile various statistics. The usage data collected includes, in particular, the specific selection of links, the time spent on individual pages and the order in which the website is used, and the frequency with which pages are accessed. This data is collected together with your IP address. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website may be transferred to Google servers and processed there, including in the USA.

We have activated so-called IP anonymisation on our website, i.e. the IP address is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google itself describes its data processing activities here: https://policies.google.com/privacy

b) Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of data when using Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG. You give your consent when you enter the website in the form of confirmation in our tracking/cookie bar.

Where data is transferred to Google, data transfers to third countries, in particular to the USA, may take place. Such transfers are based on adequacy decisions pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR or appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR, in particular the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission, where required.

c) Purpose of the data processing

The processing serves the purpose of analysing this website and the usage behaviour of its visitors in order to improve our services.

d) Duration of the storage

The data is anonymised immediately after collection or deleted after expiry of the retention period configured by us. Personal data is therefore only processed to the extent required.

e) Right to objection and removal

You can prevent the storage of cookies, including the generation and transmission of data to Google, by restricting or prohibiting the setting of cookies in your browser software. This can be done via the browser itself or via our tracking/cookie bar. As a result, cookies not associated with Google may also be deactivated and not all functions of this website can be used to their full extent.

You can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use (including your IP address) and its transmission to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:

As the operator of a Facebook fan page, we can only view the information stored in your public Facebook profile, and only if you have such a profile and are logged into it when you visit our fan page. In addition, Facebook provides us with anonymous usage statistics that we use to improve the user experience when visiting our fan page.
