Cookies we use
If you use areas of the website where registration is required to access the content, we will store an “authentication cookie” on your device. This allows you to leave and return to the relevant website areas without having to enter your user data again.
On our websites, we use the web analytics service Google Analytics from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are stored on your device and enable an analysis of website usage.

We only use Google Analytics with active IP anonymisation. This means that the IP address of users is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
