Google Analytics
For the purpose of website analysis, Google Analytics automatically collects and stores data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website), from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. Cookies may be used for this purpose. If you visit our website from the EU, your IP address will be stored on a server located in the EU to derive location data and then deleted immediately before the traffic is forwarded to other Google servers for processing. 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. The release of data to Google as part of these data release settings is based on an additional agreement between data controllers. We have no influence on the subsequent data processing by Google.

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

We use the so-called user ID function for the purpose of optimised marketing of our website. 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. We do not process any personal data in this respect; we only receive statistics generated on the basis of Google Signals.

For web analysis and advertising purposes, the extension function of Google Analytics enables the so-called DoubleClick cookie to recognise your browser when you visit other websites. Google will use this information to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

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.

Google Ads
For advertising purposes in Google search results and on third-party websites, the so-called Google Remarketing Cookie is set when you visit our website, which automatically enables interest-based advertising by collecting and processing data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information about your use of our website) and by means of a pseudonymous CookieID and based on the pages you visit. 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.

For website analysis and event tracking, we use Google Ads Conversion Tracking to measure your subsequent usage behaviour if you have reached our website via a Google Ads advertisement. For this purpose, cookies may be used and data (IP address, time of visit, device and browser information as well as information on your use of our website based on events specified by us, such as visiting a website or subscribing to a newsletter) may be collected, from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms.

Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager allows us to manage various codes and services on our website. When implementing the individual tags, Google may also process personal data (e.g. IP address, online identifiers (including cookies)). Data processing is carried out on the basis of an agreement on order processing by Google.

Various services/technologies can be integrated through the use of the Google Tag Manager.
If you do not wish to use individual tracking services and have therefore deactivated them, the deactivation remains in place for all affected tracking tags that are integrated by the Google Tag Manager.
