THE COOKIES WE USE
SourceBuster JS
We use SourceBuster JS., a locally hosted web analysis service. SourceBuster uses a specific form of cookie, which is stored on your device and enables an analysis of your use of our website. The cookies set by SourceBuster for measurement are different for each visitor (i.e., there is not a single cookie ID that is used on all sites using SourceBuster). The information about your use of our website generated by the cookie is not transmitted to a third party. We use this information to analyze your use of our website in order to compile reports on website activities and provide additional services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of our use of SourceBuster is not merged with other data. The legal basis for the processing is your consent.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google. Google Analytics uses a specific form of cookie, which is stored on your device and enables an analysis of your use of our website. The cookies set by Google Analytics for measurement are different for each visitor (i.e., there is not a single Google Analytics cookie ID that is used on all sites using Google Analytics). The information about your use of our website generated by the cookie is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google uses this information on our behalf to analyze your use of this website in order to compile reports on website activities and provide additional services related to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data. In the configuration of Google Analytics, we ensured that Google receives this data as a processor and is therefore not allowed to use this data for its own purposes.
In relation to the data transfer into the USA Google’s processing agreement for Google Analytics, can be read here. You can disable tracking by Google Analytics with future effect by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for your current web browser following this link.

You can accept or reject them or access this Cookie Policy before giving your consent to cookies or rejecting them. This permits you to make an informed decision about the cookies we use.
