Google Analytics

Our sites use functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics for the purpose of needs-based design and continuous optimization. Provider is Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

Here’re the details in regard to how we’re using Google Analytics:

IP Anonymization: We have activated the function IP anonymization on this website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. 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 other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Browser Plugin: You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the features of this website in full. In addition, you may prevent the collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under this link.
Opposition to Data Collection: With the help of this browser add-on for disabling Google Analytics JavaScript, you can prevent Google Analytics from using your data during future visits to this website. For more information about how to handle user data on Google Analytics, see the Google Privacy Policy.
Commissioned Data Processing: We have entered into an order data processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic Data: This website uses the “demographics” feature of Google Analytics. As a result, reports can be produced that contain statements on the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. This data can not be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time through the Ads settings in your Google account, or generally prohibit Google Analytics from collecting your data as outlined in the “Opposition to Data Collection” section.

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This feature allows you to link the advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (i.e. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (i.e. tablet or PC).

Once you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. That way, the same personalized advertising messages can appear on any device you sign in to with your Google account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users who are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad promotion. You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing / targeting by disabling personalized ads in your Google account; to do so follow this link.

The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or revoke on Google (Art.6 Abs.1 a. DSGVO). For data collection operations that are not merged into your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merge), the collection of the data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymous analysis of the website visitors for advertising purposes.

For more information and privacy policy, see the Google Privacy Policy. Google complies with the privacy policy of the US Privacy Shield, is registered with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s US Privacy Shield Program, and thus provides appropriate guarantees for an appropriate level of privacy.

Facebook Pixel
