Pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies are used in this context (see the cookies link at the bottom of our website). The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of server request, is transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purpose of market research and tailoring of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties are commissioned with the processing of this data.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case not all features of this website may be used to the full extend.
