3. Analytical cookies
3a. Google Analytics
For the purpose of user-oriented design and ongoing optimization, we rely on Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Web analytics consists in the collection and analysis of data related to visitor’s behaviours. Web analytics provides information about the previous web page from which a link was followed (the so called “referrer”) and the visited sub-pages of the web site, including the number of accesses and the time spent on the respective sub-pages. A web analysis service is primarily used for the web site optimization and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics tool is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
We use this tool pursuant to art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files which are stored on the computer of the users and allow to monitor how the users interact with the web pages. The information generated by the cookies concerning the use of the web site, such as

The user can prevent the saving of cookies by means of a setting in his browser software. However, you should be aware of the fact that in this case it may be impossible to use the full functionality of the web site.
Moreover, we use Google Analytics for the creation of reports based on demographic data and interest-based advertising as well as user data provided by other web sites (e.g. age, gender and interests). These data are not attributable to specific individual visitors and the feature can be disabled at any time in the browser settings.
3b. How to disable Google Analytics
Users can object to the creation of user profiles at any time. For this purpose, it is necessary to download and install a browser add-on, available under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. This browser add-on uses JavaScript to notify Google Analytics of the fact that data and information concerning the visitor collected via the web pages shall not be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google considers the installation of the browser add-on an opposition. If the IT system of the user is erased, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, it will be necessary to reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the user or another person under his responsibility uninstalls or disables the browser add-on, it can be reinstalled or reactivated. As alternative, refer to point 5 to learn how to enable and disable cookies in the different browsers.
We also rely on Google Analytics for the evaluation of double click cookies and on Google Ads for statistical purposes. If you don’t want us to use these tools, you can deactivate them in the browser settings manager (http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=en).
