Type and purpose of processing
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable analysis of your use of our websites. The information collected by cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We use the User ID function. User ID allows us to assign a unique, persistent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within those sessions) and analyze user behavior across devices.

We use Google Signals. This means that Google Analytics collects additional information about users who have activated personalized ads (interests and demographic data) and can deliver ads to these users in cross-device remarketing campaigns.

Google Analytics 4 has IP address anonymization enabled by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
