General Terms and Conditions

This page uses SSL encryption for security and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the queries you send us as site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection because the browser’s address bar will change from “http://” to “https://” and a lock symbol will appear in your browser bar. When SSL encryption is active, third parties can’t read the data you send us.

The website provider automatically gathers and stores information in what are called “server log files.” Your browser automatically sends these to us. This information includes the browser type and browser version, operating system, referrer URL, accessing computer hostname and the time of the server query. This data cannot be linked to identified individuals. The data is not brought together with data from other data sources.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to allow analysis of how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will usually be transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If IP anonymization is active on this website, however, Google will first truncate your IP address within the member states of the European Union or in other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by changing the settings of your browser software; however, we advise that this may make it impossible for you to use the full functionality of this website.
