Cookies
When you visit our website, information in the form of a cookie is stored on your computer within your browser software. A cookie is a small file of numbers and letters that is downloaded to a device (e.g., computer, smartphone) when accessing certain websites. Cookies allow a website to recognize a user’s device and help the website remember information about preferences. This means you don’t have to re-enter your preferences each time you visit the website. However, these files cannot be associated with any specific individual. The use of cookies improves the user-friendliness and security of our website.
There are many different types of cookies. Our website uses the following types:
Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies. We do not use cookies to collect personally identifiable information about you.

Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), to analyze website usage. Google Analytics uses “cookies”—text files that are stored on your device. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is generally transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.
Our website uses IP anonymization. Within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, the IP address of users is shortened and thus anonymized. This removes the personal reference from your IP address. Under the data processing agreement that the website operators have concluded with Google Inc., Google uses the collected information to compile reports on website usage and activity and to provide other services related to internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf.
According to Google, your IP address will under no circumstances be linked to other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies on your device by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, if your browser does not allow cookies, we cannot guarantee that you will be able to access all the functions of this website without restrictions.
Furthermore, you can prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to and used by Google Inc. by installing a browser plugin. However, activating this plugin does not prevent information from being transmitted to Coudenhove Kalergi. Further information about the opt-out option provided by Google, as well as instructions on how to activate it, can be found at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
