Analysis tools and tools from third parties

Web analysis tool Piwik

These webpages use Piwik, an open-source software for the statistical evaluation of visitor access. It uses cookies (see below) and thereby allows an analysis of your use of these Internet pages. These are stored on a server in Germany and are not passed on to third parties.

The IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before it is stored. You therefore remain anonymous as a user.

If you do not agree with the storage and evaluation of these data from your visit to these Internet pages, you can object to its storage and use at any time per mouse click. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser. As a result, Piwik will not collect any session data.

Please note: If you delete your cookies, the opt-out cookie will be deleted too. You will have to re-enable it if you still wish to use it.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL and TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests which you send to us as the website operator.
