The legitimate interest in data processing lies in optimizing this website, analyzing website usage, and adapting its content. Users' interests are adequately protected through pseudonymization.

Google LLC offers a guarantee based on the standard contractual clauses to maintain an appropriate level of data protection. The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., user ID), or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

Visitors can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by adjusting their cookie settings for this website. Furthermore, they can opt out of the collection and storage of their IP address and the data generated by cookies at any time with future effect.
