    • Time of the server request This data is generally not assigned to specific individuals and is used for ensuring the stability and security of the website. The processing is based on our legitimate interest in maintaining the technical functionality and security of our website.

  • Google Analytics: We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), with potential data processing by Google LLC (USA).   

    • Purpose: Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors interact with our website. We use this information to analyze website traffic, understand user behavior (e.g., which pages are popular, how long visitors stay), and improve our website content and user experience.

This means your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, and generally also in Switzerland, before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google states it will not associate your IP address transmitted by your browser with any other data held by Google.  
    • Data Transfer: Information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google LLC is certified under the Swiss-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, which provides a mechanism recognized by Swiss authorities as ensuring an adequate level of data protection for transfers to certified U.S. companies. Google may also rely on Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission (and recognized by Switzerland) for data transfers.
