The tracking measures listed below and used by us are based on Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. With the used tracking methods, we want to ensure an adequate design and the continuous optimisation of our website.

These interests are to be regarded as justified within the meaning of the aforementioned regulation.

i) Google Analytics

For the purpose of customising and continually optimising our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, hereinafter “Google”). In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see art. 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  • host name of the accessing computer (IP address),

are transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purpose of market research and adequate website design. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data in the order. Under no circumstances your IP address will be merged with any other data provided by Google. The IP addresses will be anonymised, so that a relation is not possible (IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case not all features of this website may be used completely.

In addition, you may prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a Browser-Add-on.

ii) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

To statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our website, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. In doing so, Google Adwords will set a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google advertisement.

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer are able to recognize that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page.

Every Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the required setting of a cookie – for example, via a browser setting that generally reject the automatic setting of cookies. You can also reject cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”. Google’s privacy policy for conversion tracking can be found here.

When you’re logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and / or adequate website design. Such an evaluation is done in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide appropriate advertising and to inform other users of the social network about their activities on our website. You have a right of objection to the formation of these user profiles, and you have to address this to Google.

This information (including your IP address) is transferred from your browser directly to a Facebook server in the US and stored there.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to our website directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is also transferred directly to a Facebook server and stored there.

Facebook may use this information for the purpose of advertising, market research and adequate design of the Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook uses usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website in relation to the advertisements displayed on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of Facebook.
