Data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement on order processing by Google.
We have activated the data sharing settings for “Google products and services” in order to optimise the marketing of our website. This allows Google to access the data collected and processed by Google Analytics and then use it to improve Google services.

We also use the Google Analytics extension function Google Optimise to create and carry out tests.

With the help of this function, we can assign a unique, permanent ID to your interaction data for one or more sessions on our online presence and thus analyse your user behaviour across devices and sessions.
The Google Analytics Google Signals extension function enables so-called “cross-device tracking” for web analyses. If your internet-enabled devices are linked to your Google account and you have activated the “personalised advertising” setting in your Google account, Google can create reports on your usage behaviour (in particular the cross-device user numbers), even if you change your end device.

Google AdSense
Our website markets space for third-party adverts via Google AdSense. These adverts are displayed to you in various places on this website. The so-called DoubleClick cookie enables the display of interest-based advertising through the collection and processing of data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information about your use of our website) and the automatic assignment of a pseudonymous UserID, which is used to determine interests based on visits to this and other websites.

Any further data processing will only take place if you have activated the “personalised advertising” setting in your Google account. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing.
