Information on use of these Websites created by the cookie will normally be transmitted to and stored on a server of Google in the USA. If IP anonymization is activated on these Websites (_gat._anonymizeIp), Google will, however, first truncate the IP address in Member States of the European Union or in other countries that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

On behalf of the operator of these Websites Google will use such information to evaluate use of the Websites, to prepare reports on Website activities and to render other services related to use of the Website and the internet to the Website operator.

The add-on communicates to JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that no information on the visit to the Website is to be transmitted to Google Analytics. The deactivation add-on for browsers of Google Analytics does, however, not prevent that information will be transmitted to umdasch or other web analysis services that may be used.
