We use on our website the web analytics service Google Analytics of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”).
The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide further services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The following information, among others, may be collected: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser and device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (website from 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 by Google.
Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, browser storage, and tracking pixels that enable analysis of your use of the website. The information generated about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the USA.

On this website, IP anonymization is activated. This means that your IP address will be shortened 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR from our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website.

Accordingly, we are in particular responsible for fulfilling the information obligations under Articles 13 and 14 GDPR, for compliance with the security requirements of Article 32 GDPR with regard to the correct technical implementation and configuration of the service, and for compliance with the obligations under Articles 33 and 34 GDPR, insofar as a personal data breach affects our obligations under the agreement on joint processing.

We use plug-ins of social networks on our website. The integration of social plug-ins and the associated data processing serves the purpose of optimizing the advertising for our products.
When integrating social plug-ins, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the providers of the social network, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser, provided you have expressly consented to this. In this process, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for non-registered or non-logged-in users. If you are simultaneously connected with one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information can also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. When using the plug-in functions (e.g., pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.

Analytics Advertising Tracking
Use of Google Analytics
We use on our website the web analytics service Google Analytics of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”).
The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide further services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The following information, among others, may be collected: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser and device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (website from 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 by Google.
Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, browser storage, and tracking pixels that enable analysis of your use of the website. The information generated about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. There is no adequacy decision by the European Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of Standard Contractual Clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/. Both Google and U.S. government authorities have access to your data. Your data may be linked by Google with other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices, and any other data Google has about you.
On this website, IP anonymization is activated. This means that your IP address will be shortened 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR from our overriding legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of the website. You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data.
You can prevent the collection by Google Analytics of the data generated by your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
To prevent data collection and storage by Google Analytics across devices, you can set an opt-out cookie. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. You must perform the opt-out on all systems and devices used for it to be fully effective. If you delete the opt-out cookie, requests will be sent to Google again. When you click here, the opt-out cookie will be set: Deactivate Google Analytics.

Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
We use on our website the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, in this context, conversion tracking (visitor action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland).
If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking will be stored on your computer.

If you visit certain pages of 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. Therefore, it is not possible to track cookies across the websites of Ads customers.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie serves the purpose of generating conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can personally identify users.

If you are simultaneously connected with one or more of your social network accounts, the collected information can also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. When using the plug-in functions (e.g., pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account.
