Analysis Advertising Tracking

Use of Google Analytics

We use the web analytics service Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”) on our website.

The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide additional services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. This may include collecting information such as IP address, date and time of page visit, click path, information about the browser you use and the device you use, visited pages, referrer URL (the website through which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activities. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, browser web storage, and tracking pixels that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. No adequacy decision by the EU Commission is available for the USA. Data transfer is carried out, among other things, based on standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, viewable at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/. Both Google and US government authorities have access to your data. Your data may be linked by Google with other data, such as your search history, personal accounts, usage data from other devices, and any other data Google holds about you.

On this website, IP anonymization is enabled. This means that your IP address is shortened by Google within EU member states or in other contracting states of 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 there shortened.

The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website. You have the right to object at any time, for reasons related to your particular situation, to this processing of your personal data.

Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising program “Google Ads” on our website, and within this framework, conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).

When you click on an ad served by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain personal data, and therefore do not serve personal identification purposes. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, making it impossible for cookies to be tracked across Ads customers' websites.

The information obtained via the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that would allow personal identification of users.

Your data may be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA. No adequacy decision by the EU Commission is available for the USA. Data transfer is carried out, among other things, based on standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, viewable at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adscontrollerterms/.

Alternatively, you can prevent the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the opt-out page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the opt-out instructions provided there.
