Why is data collected? Right to information, deletion or correction Objection to the dispatch of advertising material Cookies<\/strong> Matomo (formerly Piwik) Browser type and version Contact form Information, deletion, blocking On our website, we use Google (Universal) Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), with your consent. Google (Universal) Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google Analytics (GA4) This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), which can be used to analyze the use of websites. Google Analytics 4 also enables the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender and interests of website users on the basis of an evaluation of interest-based advertising and with the involvement of third-party information via a special function known as “demographic characteristics”. This makes it possible to determine and distinguish user groups of the website for the purpose of targeting marketing measures. However, data collected via the “demographic characteristics” cannot be assigned to a specific person and thus not to you personally. This data collected via the “demographic characteristics” function is retained for two months and then deleted. In connection with this website, the Google Signals service is also used as an extension of Google Analytics 4. With Google Signals, we can have Google create cross-device reports (so-called “cross-device tracking”). If you have activated “personalized ads” in your Google account settings and linked your Internet-enabled end devices to your Google account, Google can analyze usage behavior across devices and create database models based on this if you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO. The logins and device types of all website users who were logged into a Google account and executed a conversion are taken into account. The data shows, among other things, on which device you clicked on an ad for the first time and on which device the relevant conversion took place. We do not receive any personal data from Google in this regard, but only statistics compiled on the basis of Google Signals. You have the option of deactivating the “personalized ads” function in the settings of your Google account and thus turning off the cross-device analysis in connection with Google Signals. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https:\/\/support.google.com\/ads\/answer\/2662922?hl=de. For the purpose of demand-oriented design and ongoing optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (registered office at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter “Google”). In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies (see under section 3) are used.

Google<\/strong> Universal Analytics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
This website uses Google (Universal) Analytics exclusively with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”, which ensures an anonymization of the IP address by shortening and excludes a direct personal reference. Through the extension, your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google LLC.server in the USA and shortened there. On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. In this context, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google (Universal) Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for reading out information on the end device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. Without this consent, Google Analytics will not be used during your visit to the site.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website. We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics, which obliges Google to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.
For the transfer of data from the EU to the USA, Google refers to so-called standard data protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in the USA.

When using Google Analytics 4, so-called “cookies” are used as standard. Cookies are text files that are stored on your terminal device and enable an analysis of your use of a website. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including the IP address transmitted by your terminal device, shortened by the last digits, see below) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there. This may also result in the transmission of information to the servers of Google LLC, a company based in the USA, where the information is further processed.
When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your terminal device when you use the website is always collected and processed by default and automatically only in an anonymized manner, so that a direct personal reference of the collected information is excluded. This automatic anonymization is carried out by shortening the IP address transmitted by your terminal device by Google within member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) by the last digits.
On our behalf, Google uses this and other information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports (reports) on your website activities or your usage behavior and to provide us with further services related to your website usage and internet usage. In this context, the IP address transmitted and shortened by your terminal device within the scope of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other data from Google. The data collected in the context of the use of Google Analytics 4 will be stored for 2 months and then deleted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for the storage and reading of information on the terminal device used by you to use the website, will only take place if you have given us your express consent for this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your use of the website. You can revoke your consent once given at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service via the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have concluded a so-called order processing agreement with Google for our use of Google Analytics 4, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.
To ensure compliance with the European level of data protection, even in the event of any transfer of data from the EU or EEA to the USA and possible further processing there, Google refers to the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which we have contractually agreed with Google.

are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and Internet use for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these Internet pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google states that in no case will your IP address be merged with other data from Google.
Protection of your personal data
<\/strong>We use Google Analytics only with activated IP anonymization (“_ananymizeIp()”. This means that the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area in such a way that a personal reference no longer exists. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The processing of your personal data by Google Analytics, in particular the transfer of your data to the USA, will only take place if you have given us your express consent to this via the cookie banner in accordance with Art. 49 (1) p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. We would like to point out that according to the case law of the ECJ, there is currently no level of data protection in the USA that is comparable to the EU standard. Thus, there is a risk that your data will be processed by authorities for control and monitoring purposes after transfer to the USA, contrary to the provisions of the GDPR, without you being entitled to any legal protection.
Browser add on and opposition to data collection<\/strong>
<\/strong>In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on<\/a>. As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout.

We have concluded an order data processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic characteristics at Google Analytics
<\/strong>This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be attributed to any specific person. You can disable this feature at any time by changing the ad settings in your Google Account, or generally prohibit Google Analytics from collecting your information as described in the “Opting out of data collection” section.
Google Ads
<\/strong>This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising program of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).
As an Ads customer, we also use Google Conversion Tracking, an analysis service of Google Inc. in which Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer (“conversion cookie”), if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, we and Google can recognize that someone has clicked on the ad and thus been redirected to our site. Each ad customer receives a different cookie. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked through the web pages of ads customers. The information collected through the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for ad customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. The ad customers will know the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can refuse to accept cookies – for example, by changing your browser setting to disable automatic cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the “googleadservices.com” domain. Google’s privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found at https:\/\/services.google.com\/sitestats\/de.html<\/a>.
Use of remarketing or “similar target groups” function of Google Inc.
<\/strong>We use the remarketing technology of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). This technology allows us to target users who have already visited our websites and online services and who have expressed interest in the offer, by means of targeted advertising on the pages of the Google Partner Network. The display of the advertising is achieved by the use of cookies, which are small text files that are stored on the user’s computer. The text files can be used to analyze user behavior when visiting the website and then used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising.
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be delivered to any device you sign in with your Google Account.
If you do not want to receive interest-based advertising, you can opt out of Google’s use of cookies for these purposes by visiting https:\/\/adssettings.google.de\/authenticated<\/a>.
Alternatively, users can disable the use of third-party cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative’s disable page.
By using our services, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner described here and for the aforementioned purpose. We would like to point out that Google has its own data protection guidelines which are independent of ours. We assume no responsibility or liability for these guidelines and procedures.
