If you visit our site again to make use of our services, we will automatically recognize that you have already visited us and what entries and settings you made so that you do not have to enter them again.

5. Analytics Tools

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our aim in using these tracking measures is to ensure that our website is designed to meet users’ needs and is continuously optimized. We also use the tracking measures to collect statistics on the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our online offering for you. 

These are legitimate interests under the GDPR.

Please refer to the individual tracking tools for information on the purposes for which data is processed and the categories of data processed

i) Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google Inc. (https://about.google/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as “Google”) for the purpose of designing our webpages to meet your needs and continuously optimizing them. In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see section 4) are used. The data generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as

  • your browser type/version,
  • the operating system you use,
  • the referrer URL (the website you came to our website from),
  • the host name of the accessing computer (your IP address),
  • time of server request,

is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate your use of this website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services related to website usage and Internet usage for the purposes of market research and to ensure that the design of these webpages meets users’ needs. This information may also be disclosed to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Your IP address will not be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized to make it impossible to assign them to any individual (IP masking).

You may decline the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You can also prevent Google from collecting data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and processing this data by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially in the case of browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting the data by clicking on this link. Doing so places an opt-out cookie on your device to prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is valid only in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found in Google Analytics Help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en).

ii) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

We also use Google Conversion Tracking to collect statistics on the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our online offering for you. If you access our website through a Google ad, Google AdWords will store a cookie (see section 4) on your computer. 

These cookies expire after 30 days and do not have the purpose of personally identifying you. If a user visits certain pages of an AdWords customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer may discover that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page.

Each AdWords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected through the conversion cookie is used to collect conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers learn 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 can be used to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in this tracking, you may refuse to accept cookies, for example by changing your browser settings to disable automatic cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”. Google’s privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html).

We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously enhanced in line with technological developments.
