The data described above is processed for the purpose allowing you to access our website and to ensure it is displayed properly on your device and browser. Without this data, it would not be possible, technically speaking, to deliver and present the content of our website. This information also helps us to optimise our website and ensure the security of our systems. In addition, we use the anonymous information for statistical purposes.

The legal basis for the processing is provided by Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in providing you with a website optimised for your browser and in enabling communication between our server and your terminal device, which requires, in particular, the processing of your IP address. The data will be stored for a maximum of 10 days.

It is not necessary to provide this data in order to conclude a contract, and it is neither contractually nor legally required. There is no obligation to provide this data. However not providing the data may mean, that in certain cases, you will not be able to use our website or to make full use of it.

Google has undertaken to comply with the EU-US Privacy Shield Frame regarding the collection, use and retention of personal data from EU Member States (https://www.privacyshield.gov/list). Google, including Google LLC and its wholly-owned subsidiaries in the USA, has declared, by means of the certification, that it will comply with the Privacy Shield Principles.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

Google Analytics uses cookies to make it possible to analyse user behaviour on this website. The data generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website will, as a general rule, be sent to one of Google’s US servers and saved there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on websites, your IP address will be truncated before this, within the Member States of the EU or other states party to the Agreement on the EEA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address will only be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted from your Browser within the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data of Google there.

Please note that this website uses Google Analytics with the “anonymize IP()” extension, meaning that IP addresses are only processed further in truncated form to prevent them from being directly linked to a specific person.

We have concluded a contract with Google for conducting data processing on our behalf (Art. 28 GDPR). Google will process the data on our behalf to evaluate your usage of the website, to compile reports about the website activity and to provide us with other services relating to the use of the website and the internet.

We use Google Analytics to analyse the usage of our website and to allow us make improvements on a regular basis. The statistics that are gathered allow us to improve our offering and to design it in a way that is more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is provided by Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the great benefits provided by the analysis. In particular, this allows us to optimise our services in line with user interests.

You can prevent cookies from being stored using a corresponding setting in your browser software, however, we would like to point out that if you choose to do this, you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of this website.

Use of Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords).

This website uses Google Ads and conversion tracking within the scope of Google Ads, an online advertising service from Google Inc. (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service from Google. This allows us to draw your attention to make you aware of our appealing offers using advertising material on other websites.

When you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a so-called “cookie”, a text file, is saved on your device, which makes it possible to analyze your use of the websites you visit. The information generated using the cookie regarding your use of this website (including your IP address) will be transferred to a Google server, possibly one in the USA or another third county, and saved there. As a general rule, the following information in relation to the cookie is saved as an analysis value: Unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (identifying that the user no-longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies expire after 30 days. If you visit specific pages of ours and the saved Cookie has not yet expired, both we and Google can tell that someone has clicked on the advertisement and been directed to our website in this way. Every Ads client receives a different cookie. In this way, cookies can be tracked across the websites of Ads clients.

We use Google Ads for marketing and optimization purposes, especially for placing advertisements that are relevant and interesting to you, improving reports on campaign performance and for making a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is provided by Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The option to evaluate the success of individual offerings means that we can, among other things, react to market behaviour and place our offerings in the best possible way for interested users. In addition, Google has, inter alia, a legitimate interest in the (personal) data collected for use in improving its own services.

You can also prevent cookies by using the settings in your web browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” (https://www.google.de/settings/ads).

Use of Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Tag Manager from Google Inc. (“Google”), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Marketers can use Google Tag Manager to manage website tags via an interface. However, the Tag Manager itself, which makes use of the tags, functions without Cookies and does not collect any personal data. The Tag Manager only fires other tags, which themselves collect data under certain circumstances. However, Google Tag Manager does not use this data. If you have deactivated cookies using your settings or in any other way, this will taken into account for all tracking tags, meaning that the tool will not make any changes to your cookie settings. You can find further information in Google’s usage guidelines.

Use of Google Data Studio

In addition, we use another Google Analytics data management tool – Google Data Studio – for visually creating custom reports and interactive dynamic dashboards for our users. For this purpose, we use data from Google Analytics and other interfaces with data sources (e.g. Google AdWords and YouTube Analytics). The web tool does not require a local application and can be started-up via the internet. Access is gained via a browser and the data sources are connected directly via Google Data Studio. You can find further information on the use of Google Data Studio in the notices from Google.

The legal basis for the use of Google Data Studio is provided by Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The ability to visually create reports and dashboards allows us to optimise our offering and adapt it to the requirements of our customers.

When you are logged into your Google account, your data are attributed to your account directly. If you do not want this to be attributed to your Google profile, you must log out before the button is activated.

Videos from the company YouTube, YouTube LLC 901 Cherry Ave., 94066 San Bruno, CA, USA, a Google Inc company, Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, which are saved on http://www.youtube.com, are integrated into our website and can be played directly from our website.

These are all integrated in “privacy enhanced mode”, which means that no data about you as a user will be transferred to YouTube if you do not play the videos.

You have a right to object to the creation of such a user account. To exercise this right, you must contact YouTube.

YouTube is used in the interest of presenting our online offering in an appealing way. The legal basis for this is provided by Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.
