3. Data processing in connection with the sites
3.1 Visiting our websites
When you visit our website, the hosting provider of our website, Amazon Web Services (AWS), automatically collects and stores various information in so-called server log files that your browser transmits to us. The information/data mentioned is neither assigned to specific persons nor linked to data from other sources.
The collection and processing of this technical data are to enable the use of our website, continuously ensure system security and stability, optimize our website, and for internal statistical purposes.
Furthermore, the IP addresses will be evaluated, together with other data, in case of attacks on the network infrastructure or other unauthorized use or misuse of the website, for intelligence and protection and if appropriate, used in criminal proceedings for identification and civil and criminal proceedings against the relevant users.
3.2 Use of Websites Cookies
The websites use cookies. Cookies are text files stored in a computer system via an Internet browser. More detailed information on cookies and how they work can be found at: http://www.allaboutcookies.org.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other browsers containing other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through cookies, Websites can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website's users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our websites. The website user that uses cookies e.g., does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system.
You may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our websites through a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, previously set cookies may be deleted anytime via an Internet browser or other software. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, it may not be possible to use all the functions of our websites.
For detailed information on the cookies we use and the purposes for which we use them, see our Cookie Policy.
3.3 Google Analytics

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the websites (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information to evaluate your website use, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
Generally, before the data is transmitted to the provider, the IP address will be abbreviated by activating IP anonymization (anonymizeIP) on this website within the member states of the
 
European Union or in other contracting states of the agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. In these cases, we provide contractual guarantees to ensure that Google Inc. maintains a sufficient level of data protection. According to Google Inc., under no circumstances will the IP address be associated with any other user-related data. More information about the web analytics service used is available at the websites of Google Analytics: https://www.google.ch/policies/privacy/partners
