The IP address of the user is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area and in the other contracting states of the agreement.

The user’s IP address transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.

Within the scope of the agreement on the order data agreement, which we as website operator have concluded with Google Inc. The information collected is used to analyse website use and website activity and to provide services related to internet use.
