This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes direct personal reference.

Google Analytics also enables, via a special function, the so-called "demographic characteristics", the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the inclusion of third-party information. This allows the definition and differentiation of user groups of the website for the purpose of target group-optimized alignment of marketing measures.
