  • Contacting you
  • Processing your request/query
  • Signing you up for a course we offer

Data Privacy Policy for Using Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc. 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are text files that are saved on your computer and that permit analysis of your use of the website. The information produced by the cookie regarding your use of this website is usually transferred to a server of Google in the USA and saved there.

If IP anonymisation is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be shortened by Google inside member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the convention on the European Economic Area first. Only in exceptions will the full IP address be transferred to a server of Google in the USA and shortened there. On the order of this website’s operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to render further services connected to internet use for the website operator. The IP address submitted by your browser in the scope of Google Analytics will not be combined with any other data of Google.
