5. Tracking and Advertising
5.1 Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your end device and that enable an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by the cookie such as:
a. browser type/version,
b. operating system used,
c. referrer URL (the previously visited page),
i.e. host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
e. Time of server request
are usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymization is activated on this website, which means that the IP address of users is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by users, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related 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 can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

If you do not want this, you can deactivate this via the Ads Preferences Manager (http://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=de). The processed data will be deleted after a period of 14 months at the latest.
5.2 Google Analytics Remarketing
We have integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a Google AdWords feature that allows a company to serve ads to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.
The operator of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display interest-based advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to have them displayed on other websites, which are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.
Google Remarketing sets a cookie on your IT system of the data subject. With the setting of the cookie, Google is able to recognize the visitor to our website if he or she subsequently calls up websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time you access a website on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, your internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as your IP address or surfing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-based advertising.
Personal information, such as the Internet pages you have visited, is stored by means of the cookie. Accordingly, each time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
As described above, you can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
You also have the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must use the link from every Internet browser you use.www.google.de/settings/ads and make the desired settings there.
Such an evaluation takes place in particular in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f DS-GVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of our website.
Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ .
5.3 Google (AdWords) Remarketing
Our website uses the functions of Google AdWords Remarketing, with which we advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. The provider is Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your end device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you visit.
The processing takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
Any further data processing will only take place if you have given your consent to Google linking your Internet and app browser history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads that you see on the web consider. In this case, if you are logged in to Google while visiting our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google will temporarily link your personal data to Google Analytics data in order to form target groups.
You can permanently disable the setting of cookies for ad preferences by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
Alternatively, you can contact the Digital Advertising Alliance at Internet address www.aboutads.info about the setting of cookies and make settings for this.

5.4 Google AdWords with conversion tracking
We have integrated Google Ads on this website. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads on both Google's search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to pre-determine certain keywords that will cause an ad to appear in Google's search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operator of the Google Ads services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-related advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and displaying third-party advertising on our website.
If you access our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie will be stored on your IT system by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify you. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart from an online shop system, were accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to understand whether a user who came to our website via a Google Ads ad generated revenue, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. In turn, we use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Google Ads ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Google Ads ad and to use our Google Ads ads for the to optimize the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify you.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you have visited. Accordingly, each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection you are using, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on your IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
You also have the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must use the link from your Internet browser.www.google.de/settings/ads and make the desired settings there.
Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f DS-GVO on the basis of our legitimate interests in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of our website.
Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ .

By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or which personalized image you have actively clicked on and can then record which content of our website is of particular interest to you.
The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have made a deactivation at the domain or cookie level, this will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
