Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Web analysis

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google 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 this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website 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 to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You may refuse 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 the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics and your options in this regard can be found at https://www.google.at/intl/de_ALL/analytics/learn/privacy.html.

Your IP address is recorded but immediately anonymized by shortening the last digits of the IP address. This means that only a rough localization is possible.

The relationship with the web analytics provider is based on the “USA Privacy Shield.”

Data processing is carried out on the basis of the statutory provisions of Section 96 (3) TKG and Article 6 (1) (a) (consent) and/or (f) (legitimate interest) of the GDPR.

Our concern within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is the improvement of our offer and our website. As the privacy of our users is important to us, the user data is pseudonymized.

Use of Google Ads

We use Google Ads, an online advertising program from Google Inc. on our website, which also uses conversion tracking. With this tool, Google Ads places a cookie on your PC when you access our website via a Google ad. The cookie is no longer valid after 30 days. It is not used for personal traceability. If you visit our website as a user and the cookie is still working, we and Google will recognize that you clicked on the corresponding ad and were redirected to our site. A different cookie is assigned to each Google Ads customer. Cookies are therefore not traceable via the websites of AdWords customers. The data collected by conversion cookies is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers. As customers, we learn the total number of users who responded to our ad and were then redirected to a website that was tagged with a conversion tracking tag. During this process, we do not receive any information with which we could personally identify you as a user. If you reject the tracking process, the Google conversion tracking cookie can be deactivated via your Internet browser. If necessary, use the browser’s help function for further information. You can find out more about Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Google Analytics Remarketing

We use the remarketing function of Google Inc. on our website. With this function, we work together with Google to present our visitors with customized and interest-based advertisements. Cookies are placed on your computer for this purpose. These are text files that recognize users when they call up pages and thus enable interest-based advertising throughout the Google network. Google does not collect any personal data in this context and, according to its own information, does not establish any connections to other Google services. You can disable Google’s remarketing function by making the appropriate settings at https://www.google.com/settings/ads. Furthermore, the use of cookies can be deactivated via https://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp or by changing the settings in your browser. If necessary, use its help function. You can find out more about Google Remarketing and Google’s general privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/.

Google Maps Plugin

We use a plugin of the internet service Google Maps on our website. The operator of Google Maps is Google Inc, based in the USA, CA 94043, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View. When you use Google Maps on our website, information about the use of this website and your IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and also stored on this server. We have no knowledge of the exact content of the data transmitted, nor of its use by Google. In this context, the company denies the connection of the data with information from other Google services and the collection of personal data. However, Google may transmit the information to third parties. If you deactivate Javascript in your browser, you will prevent Google Maps from running. However, you will then also not be able to use the map display on our website. By using our website, you consent to the described collection and processing of information by Google Inc. You can find out more about the data protection provisions and terms of use for Google Maps here: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.
