The following description of the tracking and analysis tools also includes the respective processing purposes and the processed data.
 

1. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland („Google“). Google Analytics uses cookies which are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you.

The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, place, and frequency of your use of this website, is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on a server in the United States. When using Google Analytics, it is not excluded that the cookies set by Google Analytics can also collect other personal information in addition to the IP address. We point out that Google may transfer this information to third parties, if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

The information generated by cookies will be used by Google on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data according to Google.

You can generally prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of this website.

It is not excluded that the cookies set by Google Analytics can collect other personal data in addition to the IP address. In order to prevent information about your use of the website from being collected by Google Analytics and transmitted to Google Analytics, you can download and install a plugin for your browser under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

This plugin prevents information about your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. Any other analysis will not be prevented by this plugin.

Please note out that you cannot use the browser plugin described above when visiting our website via the browser of a mobile device (smartphone or tablet). When using a mobile device, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your usage information by clicking the following link: <ahref=”javascript:gaOptout()”>Disable Google Analytics</a >.

An opt-out cookie will be installed in your browser by clicking this link. This prevents information about your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. Please note that the opt-out cookie is only valid for this browser and only for this domain. If you delete the cookies in this browser, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted. To continue to prevent Google Analytics tracking, you must click the link again. The use of the opt-out cookie is also possible as an alternative to the above plug-in when using the browser on your computer.

In order to ensure the best possible protection of your personal data, Google Analytics has been expanded to include the code “anonymizeIp” on this website. This code causes the last 8 bits of the IP addresses to be deleted and your IP address to be recorded anonymously (IP masking). Your IP address will be truncated by Google generally within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thereby anonymized before transfer. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.

2. Google AdWords

We use Google AdWords technology, specifically conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland („Google“). If you click an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your PC. The cookies are valid for 30 days and are not for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website, while the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we may recognize that you have clicked a specific ad and have been redirected to this page. Google AdWords customers will each receive a different cookie. Thus there is no way to track cookies through the websites of advertisers.

Conversion cookie data is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who use conversion tracking. Customers will be told the number of users who clicked their ad and were then redirected to a site with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.

If you do not want to participate in conversion tracking, you can prevent this by changing the settings it in your browser, for example, in such a way that the installation of cookies is generally prevented. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block only cookies from the web address “googleadservices.com”.

Within Google’s advertising network, targeted and interest-based ads can be placed based on previously visited Google Network sites (which also use Google’s remarketing feature).

If you do not wish to see targeted, interest-based advertising, you may opt-out of Google’s use of cookies for these purposes via the link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads.
