Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; following: "Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie (browser type / version, operating system, referrer URL, IP address) about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. 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 the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

You can find more information on how Google Analytics handles user data in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US

We would like to point out that on this website, Google Analytics has been expanded to include the code "gat._anonymizeIp ();" in order to ensure an anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). As a result, IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form, which means that personal references can be excluded.

Third-party information: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics and the temporary storage of the data is a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR. The data is collected to analyze user behaviour in order to optimize our website.

An order processing contract with Google Analytics has been concluded. We implement the data protection regulations when using Google Analytics.

Google Ads

Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Every Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The customers find out the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were then redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

If you do not want to participate in the tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser to block cookies from the “googleleadservices.com” domain.

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all of your cookies in the browser, you must set the respective opt-out cookie again.

Data Security

This website uses the widespread SSL or TLS (Secure Socket Layer or Transport Layer Security) method in conjunction with the highest possible level of encryption supported by your browser. This encryption is used to protect the transmission of confidential content. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser.

Changes to Our Data Protection Regulations

We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration will then apply to your next visit.
