5. Statistical evaluation of visits to our websites

We also use the data transmitted by your web browser in accordance with clause 2 for the continuous improvement of our website and for statistical purposes.

For this purpose, we use products from the service provider Google LLC or Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow you to analyse your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there only in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operating company of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website use and Internet use to the website operating company.

According to Google's statements, the IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your Internet browser accordingly; please note that, in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to the full extent. In addition, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing a corresponding browser plug-in. You can find the link under "Related links"

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form, which means that they cannot be linked to a specific person. In so far as the data collected about you is related to a person, this is therefore immediately excluded and the personal data is thereby deleted immediately.

We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can improve our services and make them more interesting for you as a user through the statistics we have obtained.

For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google uses standard contractual clauses as a means of ensuring an adequate level of protection for the transfer of your data. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6, para. 1, lit. f of the GDPR.

Google Recaptcha

We also use the reCAPTCHA function of Google on this website. This function is used primarily to distinguish whether an input is made by a human or maliciously by machine or automated processing. The service includes the sending of the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. As part of the use of Google reCAPTCHA, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.

For further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing, please see the provider's privacy notice. This also includes more information about your data protection privacy rights and setting options to protect your privacy.

The legal basis for the use of Google's reCAPTCHA function is Art. 6, para. 1, lit. f of the GDPR.

Google Ads

Google Ads is an Internet advertising service. Advertisers can place ads in search engine results and Google ad networks. Predefined keywords allow to display ads in the search engine results when the user starts a keyword-relevant search.

For this purpose, Google uses a cookie in the browser of your device, which enables interest-based advertising by means of a pseudonymous cookie ID and on the basis of the pages you visit.

This process only takes place if you have given your consent beforehand (legal basis Art. 6, para. 1, lit. a of the GDPR)

When you visit our website and are logged into your Google account, Google may link your personal data to your account to personalise ads. In such a case, Google uses your data together with Google Analytics data to create target group lists for cross-device remarketing.

If you are not logged in through a Google account, Google Ads stores your collected data with unique identifiers that are a link to your browser, app or device. Here you can find out which data can be specifically collected:

Google Ads with conversion tracking

As part of the use of Google Ads, we use conversion tracking on our website, also a service of Google. This allows us to measure interactions with our online ads. For example, click on our ad and then take another action, such as visiting our website, this can be measured.

If you access our website via an ad, a conversion cookie is stored on your computer system. This allows us as well as Google to determine whether a certain sub-page on our website has been accessed. This cookie will lose its validity after 30 days and is not used for your identification.

Google uses this data to compile statistics about the visit to our website that provide statements about the effectiveness of our ads. We can therefore optimise the use of such displays. Neither our company nor other advertisers of Google Ads receive information from Google that could identify you.

You can permanently object to the setting of the cookie at any time in the settings of your Internet browser and thus also on your computer.

For more information, see:

These processing operations are carried out with your express consent in accordance with Art. 6, para. 1, lit. a of the GDPR.

Google Analytics Remarketing

We use the offer Google Analytics Remarketing. This is a feature of Google Ads that allows us to display ads to users who have previously visited our website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertising to the user.

A cookie is set on your computer, which allows Google to uniquely identify you as a visitor when you access websites that also use Google Remarketing. Through this process, Google obtains personal data such as your IP address or your surfing behaviour. This allows Google to display interest-relevant advertising.

Your stored personal data will be transferred to Google in the USA and stored there. It is possible that Google will pass this data on to third parties.

You can prevent the saving of the cookie in the settings of your Internet browser at any time or object to the setting of the cookie. Consequently, such cookies are also prevented from being set on your computer.

The legal basis for the use of Google Remarketing is Art. 6, para. 1, lit. a of the GDPR.
