Google Analytics uses "cookies," text files that are stored on your computer and allow analysis of the website's use. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Due to IP anonymization being activated on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide additional services related to website and internet use.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Google AdWords
Type and Purpose of Processing:

If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google can detect that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked across websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers are informed about the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, no information that allows for the personal identification of users is provided.
