Google Analytics

The legal basis for this service is our legitimate interest in analyzing website usage. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google for this purpose.

When you visit our website, a software connection is established to Google's servers and data is transmitted to Google servers, some of which are located in the USA. Google Analytics also uses cookies to store information about website users and to analyze their use of the website.

This website uses the "Activation of IP anonymization" function. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

According to Google, Google will use the data collected 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.

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

This feature allows you to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This allows interest-based, personalized advertising messages tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone) to also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account. This allows the same personalized advertising messages to be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google Account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad delivery.

You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google Account; to do so, follow this link.

The collected data is aggregated in your Google Account solely on the basis of your consent, which you can give or withdraw to Google (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). For data collection processes that are not aggregated in your Google Account (e.g., because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the aggregation), the data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the website operator's interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Further information and the data protection regulations can be found in the Google Privacy Policy.
