7. Analytical tools, remarketing and targeting

7.1 Google Analytics

7.1.1 Type and scope of processing of personal data

We use the component Google Analytics (with anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the gathering, collection and evaluation of data on the behaviour of visitors to Internet sites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a person concerned has accessed a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website have been accessed or how often and for how long a subpage has been viewed.

We use the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By using this addition, Google shortens and anonymizes the IP address of your Internet connection when you access our Internet pages from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

7.1.2 Purposes and legal basis for processing personal data

The processing of your personal data enables us to analyse your surfing behaviour. We are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website by evaluating the data obtained. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its usability. For these purposes, it is also in our legitimate interest to process the data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, your interest in protecting your personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

7.1.3 Recipients or categories of recipients

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google LLC, 1600 AmphitheatreParkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

7.1.5 Transmissions to a third country and existence of the adequacy decision

The personal data will be transferred to a third country. Google LLC is certified according to the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law according to Art. 45 GDPR (Link).

7.1.6 Right of cancellation, opposition and correction

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of 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 placing a cookie on your information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the opportunity to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google.

To do this, you must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered a contradiction by Google. If your information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later time, the browser add-on must be reinstalled to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned or another person within their control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and Google’s current privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics will be explained in more detail under this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_en/analytics/.

7.2 Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager. This service allows web page tags to be managed through an interface. The Google Tag Manager only implements tags. This means that no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers the services described in Section 7. et seq. and Section 8. et seq. which in turn collect data if necessary. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, it remains valid for all tracking tags, provided that they are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

We also use the Google advertising tool “Google-Adwords” to promote our website.

7.3.2 Purposes and legal basis for processing personal data

7.3.6 Duration of data storage

If you accessed our website via a Google ad, a cookie is stored on your computer. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores on your computer.

If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google may recognize that you as a user have clicked on one of our ads placed on Google and have been redirected to our page.
