Privacy policy for the use of Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies".
What are cookies?
A cookie is a text information that the visited website places on the viewer's computer via the browser. The cookie is either sent from the web server to the viewer or is generated by a script in the website. The client sends the cookie information back to the server with each subsequent visit to this page.
Cookies can be used for caching in web applications so that user actions and inputs intended for the server are not lost if the connection to the server is interrupted (for example in mobile networks).
When the connection is restored, they are queried by the server. The web application recognizes the order in which the cookies were created and marks cookies that have already been processed or deletes their content.
A compromise between the advantages and disadvantages of cookies can be achieved by configuring your browser so that persistent cookies are not allowed or only allowed after request, which makes it difficult to create user profiles, and session cookies are automatically allowed, for example for online purchases or passwords. In addition, most browsers offer the option of selectively allowing or blocking cookies for certain domains or automatically deleting them after surfing, as is automatically done with session cookies.

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
