Google Analytics uses so-called cookies which are text files stored on your computer and which enable your use of the website to be analyzed.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website in order to compile reports about website activity and to provide the website operator with additional services related to website use and Internet use. The IP address transmitted from your browser as a part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

This website uses Matomo (formerly Piwik), an open-source software, for the statistical evaluation of visitor accesses. Matomo uses so-called cookies which are text files stored on your computer and which enable your use of the website to be analyzed.

The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of the website will be stored on a server in Switzerland. The following data are collected: country, region, city, time, origin, browser, operating system, device type, resolution, duration of visit, actions (pages visited).

Use of script libraries (Google web fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing manner in a variety of browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google web fonts https://www.google.com/webfonts. Google web fonts are transferred to the cache of your browser to prevent multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google web fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.

Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is thus theoretically possible – however it is currently also unclear whether and if so, for which purposes – for operators of such libraries to collect data.
The privacy policy of the library operator Google is available at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

Changes to our data privacy regulations

We reserve the right to occasionally adapt this privacy policy to always comply with the current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, for example, if new services are introduced. The new privacy policy will then apply to your repeat visit.
