Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
Our website "www.waf.world" 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 so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the "cookies" about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on our website "www.waf.world". As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google from being transmitted to the USA within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website "www.waf.world". Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website.
You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies.
It is also possible to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google.
To do this, you must download and install a browser add-on under the link. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If the data subject's information technology system is later deleted, formatted or re-installed, you must re-install the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by you or another person within your control, there is a possibility of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
