Cookies are small text files which are saved on your computer by your browser. Cookies do not damage your computer in any way and do not contain any viruses or malware.

In exceptional cases only, the full IP address is sent to a Google server in the US, where it is then abridged. On the authority of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate website usage patterns by users, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide the website operator with further services associated with use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with any other data by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; in such cases, however, we expressly inform users that they may then not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
