7. Web Analytics with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies to collect information about how the site is used (e.g. pages visited, approximate region, device type, time on page).

Legal basis is your consent under Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG. On your first visit, the consent banner lets you decide whether analytics is loaded. Without your consent, no tracking data is sent (Google Consent Mode v2, default: "denied").

IP addresses are truncated before storage (anonymization via anonymize_ip). Data is not merged with other Google data on this site. Google may transfer data to the United States; the legal basis for the transfer is the EU-US Data Privacy Framework.

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Use the button below or clear the consent entry in your browser's local storage. The next visit will show the banner again.

More information is available in Google's privacy policy.

8. Cookies and Local Storage

This site uses browser storage as follows:

a) Strictly necessary (no consent required)

  • consent (local storage): stores your analytics consent choice ("granted" or "denied") so the banner does not show again. Set by this site, persists until cleared.
  • theme (local storage): stores your dark/light theme preference. Set by this site, persists until cleared.

b) Analytics (only after consent)

  • _ga (cookie, ~2 years): distinguishes users for Google Analytics.
  • _ga_QWBM9VEZTC (cookie, ~2 years): session state for Google Analytics.

You can delete cookies and local storage entries via your browser settings at any time.
