Google Analytics uses cookies to enable an analysis of how visitors use this website. The information collected by these cookies is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States.

Google Analytics is configured with IP anonymization enabled by default.

Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
