On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Browser Plugin

You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to their full extent. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

Data Processing

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic Features with Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic features" of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. These data come from Google's interest-based advertising and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time in your Google account ad settings or generally prohibit Google Analytics from collecting your data as described in the "Objection to Data Collection" section.

Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements from Google Inc. ("Google"). The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google AdSense uses so-called "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer to help analyze the use of the website. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics) to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on these pages. The information generated by cookies and web beacons regarding the use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be passed on to Google's contractual partners. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored by you. The storage of AdSense cookies is based on Art. 6 Para. 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. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings. However, please be aware that, in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

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. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This feature allows the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked to the cross-device capabilities of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows personalized advertising messages based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) to be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC). If you have given the appropriate consent, Google will link your web and app browser history for this purpose with your Google account. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you sign in with your Google account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising. You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by turning off personalized advertising in your Google account. To do this, follow this link: Google Ad Settings. The aggregation of the data collected in your Google account data is based solely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw from Google (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). For data collection processes that are not merged into your Google account (for example, because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merger), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The legitimate interest arises because the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes. For more information and the privacy policy, please refer to Google's privacy policy: Google Technologies Ads Privacy Policy.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). As part of Google AdWords, we use the so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser places on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can tell that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked through AdWords customer websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie via your Internet browser under User Preferences. You will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. The storage of "conversion cookies" and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising. For more information about Google AdWords
