Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site.

In these exceptional cases, this processing is carried out on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6, paragraph 1, lit. a of the GDPR.

Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage.

Data transmission by Google

Google relies on standard contractual clauses for data transfers. The European Commission has approved the use of standard contractual clauses as a means of ensuring adequate protection when transferring data outside the EEA (European Economic Area). Through the use of standard contractual clauses https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection_de in a contract concluded between data controllers, personal data is considered to be protected when transferred from the EEA or the UK to countries not covered by an adequacy decision https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en. We must point out that if data is transferred to the US, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes.
