We use tracking and analysis tools in order to assure continuous optimisation and demand-oriented configuration of our website. By means of tracking measures it is also possible for us to statistically record the use of our website by visitors and to further develop our online offering for you by means of the knowledge obtained in this way. On the basis of these interests, the use of the tracking and analysis tools described below is authorised according to Article 6, paragraph 1, page 1, (f) GDPR. The respective processing purposes and the processed data can also be found in the following description of the tracking and analysis tools.
This site uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’, text files, which are stored on their computer, and which enable an analysis of your use of the website.
The information generated by these cookies, for example concerning time, place, and frequency of your use of this website, are as a rule transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. In using Google Analytics, it is not excluded that the cookies set by Google Analytics can also record additional personal data in addition to the IP address. We point out to you that Google possibly will transmit this information to third parties, if this is legally stipulated or insofar as third parties process these data on behalf of Google.
The information generated by cookies is used by Google on behalf of the operator of this website in order to evaluate your use of the website, in order to compile reports concerning the website activities, and to furnish the website operator with further data services connected with the website use and the internet use. The IP address transmitted from your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not transmitted by Google, according to Google’s own information, along with the other data from Google.
You can generally block storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we inform you that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in their full scope.
It is not excluded that the cookies set by Google Analytics can record additional personal data in addition to the IP address. In order to prevent information concerning your use of the website from being recorded by Google Analytics and transmitted to Google Analytics, you can download and install a plug-in for your browser under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
This plug-in prevents information concerning your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. Another analysis is not prevented by this plug-in.
We inform you that you cannot use the browser plug-in described above in case of a visit to our website via the browser of a mobile device (smartphone or tablet). In case of using a mobile device, you can prevent the recording of your use data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link: Google Analytics deaktivieren
By clicking on this link, a so-called opt-out cookie is set in your browser. This prevents information concerning your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. Please note that the opt-out cookie is valid only for this browser and only for this domain. If you erase the cookies in this browser, the opt-out cookie also is erased. Furthermore, in order to prevent the recording by Google Analytics, you must click on the link again. The use of the opt-out cookie is also possible as an alternative to the above plug-in in the case of using the browser on your computer.
In order to provide the best possible protection of your personal data, Google Analytics was expanded on this website by the code ‘anonymizeIP’. This code causes the last 8 bits of the IP address to be erased and thus your IP address is recorded anonymised (so-called IP masking). In this way, your IP address is basically shortened and thus anonymised by Google already before the transmission within member states of the European Union or in other contracting countries of the Agreement concerning the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address transmitted to a server by Google in the USA and shortened there.
We use the ‘Google Ads’ technology and, in this case, especially the conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you click on a display placed by Google, a cookie for the conversion tracking is stored on your PC. The cookies have a validity of 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website, and if the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can detect that you have clicked on a specific display and were passed on to this page. In each case, Google Ads customers obtain another cookie. Thus, it is not possible to track cookies via the websites of Google Ads customers.
The data obtained by means of the conversion cookie serve for creating conversion statistics for Google Ads customers that use the conversion tracking. In this way the customers obtain the number of users that have clicked on their display and thereupon were passed on to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. Of course, they obtain no information, with which the user can be personally identified.
If you do not want to participate in the conversion tracking, you can prevent this by a corresponding setting in your browser, e.g. in a form that will always prevent cookies from being installed. You can also deactivate cookies for the conversion tracking by setting your browser so that only cookies from the web address ‘googleadcervices.com’ are blocked.
We use the ‘Google Remarketing’ technology and ‘Similar Audiences’ function from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Remarketing and the ‘Similar Audiences’ function places displays for users that have already visited out web pages and online services and have been interested in a specific offer. Within the Google advertising network, it is possible to place targeted and interest-based advertising displays on our page in this way. Google Remarketing and/or ‘Similar Audiences’ use cookies for this analysis. In this way our visitors can be recognised again as soon as they call up web pages within the Google advertising network. Within the Google advertising network, it is possible to place targeted and interest-based advertising displays that are based on the web pages of the Google advertising network (which also use Google’s remarketing function) previously visited by the visitor.
If you do not want to have targeted, interest-based advertising displayed, you can deactivate the use of cookies by Google for these purposes via the link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
We use Hotjar to gain a better understanding of our users’ needs and optimise our site. Hotjar technology provides us with a better understanding of our users’ experiences (e.g. how long users stay on our website, which links they click, what they like and what they don’t like etc.) and this helps us adapt our offer to user feedback. Hotjar uses cookies and other technologies to collect information on user behaviour and their devices (IP address of their device in particular [recorded and saved anonymously only], screen size, device type [Unique Device Identifiers], information on browser used, location [country only], to display the preferred language on our site). Hotjar saves this information in a pseudonymised user profile. Neither Hotjar nor we use the information to identify individual users or add it to other data on individual users. More information can be found in Hotjar’s data protection statement here.
Our online presence includes the use of the ‘Facebook Pixel’ from Facebook Inc. 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (‘Facebook’). This way, user behaviour can be tracked after they have visited or clicked on a Facebook advert. This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook adverts for statistical and market research purposes and can therefore help optimise advertising campaigns.
The acquired data remain anonymous for us and therefore make revealing user identity impossible. However, Facebook data are saved and processed so that a connection can be made to the relevant user profile and Facebook can use the data for their own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook data usage guidelines. You can override adverts on Facebook and its partners in an outside Facebook. A cookie can be stored on the computer for this purpose. In order to object to all cookies on your computer, you can set up your web browser to prevent any cookies from being stored on your computer in the future and to delete any previously stored cookies. However, refusing all cookies can prevent certain functions on our website from working.
We have a legitimate interest in the aforementioned data processing and its use. Article 6, paragraph 1, (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for data processing.
The Facebook data protection instructions contain further information on protecting your privacy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
You can also disable the ‘Custom Audiences’ remarketing function in advertisement settings at https://www.facebook.com/ads/preferences/?entry_product=ad_settings_screen. This requires logging on to Facebook.
If you do not have a Facebook account, you can disable usage-based advertising from Facebook on the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance website: http://www.youronlinechoices.com/de/praferenzmanagement/.
