Google Analytics is configured with consent-based tracking. Analytics cookies and identifiable tracking data are only stored after the user has given explicit consent.

This anonymized data is used exclusively for aggregated statistical modeling and does not allow conclusions about individual users.

Used for analytics purposes with prior user consent

Users can choose whether to allow only necessary cookies or additional analytics cookies via the cookie consent mechanism. Analytics cookies are only activated after consent.
