You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in Google’s privacy policy under the following link https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.

The information generated by cookies about your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity. We use this information solely for our own market research purposes and to optimise the design of the website.

Google will not associate your IP address with any other data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser.

8. INTEGRATION OF THIRD-PARTY SERVICES AND CONTENT

8.1 On the website, it is possible that third-party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated. This always requires that the providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user, especially since without the IP address the content cannot be sent to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is thus necessary for the display of this content. We endeavour to use only such content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as this is known to us, we inform the users about this.

8.1.1 YouTube videos: Videos stored on YouTube may be embedded on this website. The website only enables the connection to YouTube. YouTube is a service provided by Google. The so-called “extended data protection mode” is activated for all YouTube videos on this website. YouTube provides this extended data protection mode and thus ensures that YouTube does not store any cookies with personal data on your computer. When the website is called up and the videos are embedded, the IP address is transmitted. This cannot be assigned unless you have logged in to YouTube or another Google service before accessing the page or are permanently logged in. As soon as you start the playback of an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only saves cookies on your computer using the extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data. These cookies can be prevented by appropriate browser settings and extensions. You can find more information on the integration of YouTube videos on the YouTube information page.

8.1.2 Our website may also contain the following third-party content: Map material from Google Maps, Instagram, Xing. This always requires that the providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the users, because without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is thus necessary for the display of this content. We endeavour to use only such content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as this is known to us, we inform the users about this.
