In order to be able to carry out web analysis, Google Analytics stores cookies from your visit to our website on the terminal device you use. With each visit to one of our websites (whether main or sub-pages), on which the analysis service has been integrated, among other things, the duration of your stay on our individual websites, the sub-pages of our online presence that you have visited, the frequency with which our respective pages are called up, the referrer from which you came to our websites, the place of access (i.e. the place from which you accessed our website) and the access time as well as the IP address of the terminal device used by you are collected and stored. The collected data is evaluated by Google Analytics and the results are made available to us in an online report.

The purpose of using Google Analytics on our website is to analyse the flow of visitors, the origin of visitors, the number of visitors, the duration of use in order to optimize our Internet presence. We use this information for the optimization of our websites and for the cost-benefit analysis of the advertising media we use.
