This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer that enable the analysis of your usage of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators, and to provide other services related to internet use and use of the website. Google may also pass this information on to third parties insofar as required by law or if third parties process the data on Google's behalf. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not conflated with other Google data.
