Privacy policy for Facebook plugin
This website uses plugins provided by Facebook.com made available in the USA by the company Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304. We hereby point out to users of our website, on which the Facebook plugin ('like' button) is installed, that the plugin establishes a connection to Facebook which triggers a transmission to your browser so that the plugin appears on the website.

Privacy policy for the web analytics service Google Analytics
This website uses Google Anaytics, a Google Inc. ("Google") web analysis service.

As a rule, the information generated by the cookie about your use of this website are transmitted to and saved on a Google server in the USA. We have activated IP anonymization.

On behalf of the operator of this website Google will use this information to analyse your use of this website, to compile reports about website activities and to provide further services related to website-use and Internet-use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can block the use of cookies by changing your browser settings; in this case we must point out to you, however, that you might not be able to make full use of all the functions on this website. In addition you can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
