The integration of external services can be sensitive according to current European jurisprudence. The transfer of personal data to external providers (e.g., Analytics, Advertising, CDN, Fonts, Videos, etc.) should be analyzed on a case-by-case basis.
4.1 Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The responsible entity for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Nature and Purpose of Processing
Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze your use of our websites. The information collected via cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
In Google Analytics 4, IP address anonymization is enabled by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
During your website visit, your user behavior is recorded in the form of “events.” Events may include:

First visit to the website
Start of the session
Visited pages
Your “click path,” interaction with the website
Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the end of the page (90%))
Clicks on external links

Additionally, the following is recorded:
Your approximate location (region)
Date and time of visit
Your IP address (in truncated form)
Technical information about your browser and the devices you use (e.g., language setting, screen resolution)

Referrer URL (which website/advertisement led you to this website)
Purposes of Processing
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your pseudonymous use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyze the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaigns.

Transfer to Third Countries
For the USA, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision on July 10, 2023. Google LLC is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield framework. Since Google servers are distributed worldwide and transmission to third countries (e.g., Singapore) cannot be completely ruled out, we have also concluded EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the provider.
Storage Duration
The data sent by us and linked with cookies is automatically deleted after 14 months. The maximum lifespan of Google Analytics cookies is 2 years. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.
