We use the web analytics service Google Analytics on our website.

The data is processed for the purposes of analyzing this website and its visitors, as well as marketing and advertising. Google will use the information collected on our behalf as the website's operator to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other website activity and internet usage-related services. The following information, among others, can be collected: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser and device you are using (device), pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, and purchase activity. Google Analytics transmits your browser's IP address, which is not linked to any other Google data.
