Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics on our website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

By means of the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active Google guarantees that the EU data protection requirements are adhered to during the processing of data in the USA.

The Google Analytics service provides analysis of user behaviour on our website. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the analysis, optimisation and cost-effective operation of our website.

Usage-oriented and user-oriented data such as IP addresses, location, time or frequency of visits to our website are transmitted and stored on a Google server in the USA. We use Google Analytics with the anonymisation function. This function means that Google truncates the IP addresses within the EU or EEA region.

The data collected in this way will in turn be used by Google in order to provide an assessment about the visit to our website and concerning the usage activities there. This data can also be used in order to create other services in connection with our website and use of the internet.

Google will not provide your IP address in order that it can be linked to other data. In addition Google has other data protection information available for you at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners e.g. in order to prevent data usage. Google also provides a “Deactivation Add-on” at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de in addition to further information in this respect. This Add-on can be installed on standard internet browsers and provides you with further control options with respect to your data, which Google collects when you visit our website. As a result of this, the Add-on informs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that information derived from your visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. This does not, however, prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. You can, of course, also find out if additional web analysis services are used by us and which ones we use in this privacy statement.

If you are logged into Google while you visit one of our webpages that has a plug-in the collected information of your specific visit will be recognised by Google thanks to the plug-in. Where possible Google will allocate the information collected in this way to your personal user account. Therefore if you use the Google “share” button this information will be stored in your Google user account and published via the Google platform. If you would like to prevent this from happening you must either log out of Google before you visit our website or change the settings in your Google user account accordingly.

If you click on an ad delivered by Google the Conversion Tracking used by us will add a cookie to your terminal. These “Conversion Cookies” lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify you in any case.

If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page on our website both we and Google can analyse that you have clicked on one of our ads positioned by Google and you were then transferred to our website.

Information collected in this way enables Google to create a statistical breakdown concerning the visit to our website. We also receive information because of this concerning the number of users who have clicked on our ad(s) and concerning the pages that they then accessed on our website. However, neither we nor third parties who also use Google AdWords will be able to identify you in doing so.

You can also prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by means of the corresponding settings of your internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. The steps and measures necessary to do so do, however, depend on the specific internet browser that you use. If you have any questions please use your internet browser’s help function or documentation or contact the manufacturer or customer support team for your internet browser.

Google Remarketing or “similar target groups” components of Google

We use Remarketing or the “similar target groups” function on our website. This is an internet service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland, hereinafter referred to as “Google”.

By means of the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active Google guarantees that the EU data protection requirements are adhered to during the processing of data in the USA.

We use this functionality in order to place interest-based, personalised advertising on third party websites who also participate in the Google advertising network.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the analysis, optimisation and cost-effective operation of our website.

In order that this advertising service can be enabled Google stores a cookie with a numerical sequence via your internet browser on your terminal during your visit to our website. This cookie records both your visit and usage of our website in anonymised form. Personal data will not be transmitted in this process. If you then visit a third party website who also use the Google advertising network, where possible ads will appear that are related to our website or our offers.

To permanently deactivate this function Google offers a browser plug-in for standard internet browsers at https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. The use of cookies by specific providers e.g. can also be deactivated at http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices or http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ using an opt-out.

By means of “Cross Device Marketing” Google can potentially track your usage behaviour across several terminal devices in order that, wherever, possible interest-related, personalised advertising will be displayed even when you change your terminal device. This does, however, assume that you have agreed to your browser history being linked to your existing Google account.

Google provides more detailed information on Google Remarketing at http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/ an.

You can also individually manage the cookies relating to many organisations and functions, which are used for advertising. You can also use the appropriate user tools, which can be found at About Ads or Your Online Choices or Network Advertising.

Most browsers also provide a “Do Not Track Function”, which you can use to indicate that you do not wish to be “tracked” by websites. When this function is activated the respective browser informs the advertising networks, websites and applications that you do not wish to be tracked by means of behavioural advertising or similar.

With the new API a significant number of your valid human users will pass the reCAPTCHA test without having to release a CAPTCHA.  We use reCAPTCHA to protect forms. By using reCAPTCHA data is transmitted to Google, which Google uses to determine if the visitor is a human or a Spam(bot).
