As commissioned by the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyze your use of this website, to aggregate reports on website activities, and to render the website operator for additional services related to website and Internet operations. Through the DPA it was ensured that Google receives this data as a processor and is therefore not allowed to use this data for its own purpose.
