The purpose of using Google Analytics is to analyze user behavior on our website. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in analyzing, optimizing, and economically operating our website.
Usage and user-related information—such as IP address, location, time, or frequency of visits to our website—is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. However, we use Google Analytics with what is known as the anonymization function. This ensures that Google shortens the IP address before storing it, within the EU or EEA.
Google uses the data collected in this way to provide us with reports on the visits to our website and user activities there. This data may also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the internet in general.
According to Google, your IP address will not be merged with other data held by Google. Additionally, Google provides further information at

additional data protection information, including options for preventing the use of your data.
Furthermore, Google provides information at

a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information. This add-on can be installed on common web browsers and provides you with greater control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that no data regarding your visit to our website should be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent data from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. You will, of course, be informed in this privacy policy whether and which other web analytics services we use.
