Within the scope of IP anonymization, the collected IP address of the user is shortened by Google within the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases, in the event of technical faults in Europe, will the unabbreviated IP address be transmitted to Google in the USA and shortened there. The transmitted IP addresses will not be merged with other data from Google.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the online offer to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link, which informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
