We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymization enabled. In this case, the IP address of the user is shortened by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, so that it can no longer be traced back to a person.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website. This is used to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website usage and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. The terms of use of Google Analytics and information on data protection can be accessed via the following links:

Information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de
Google Optimize
The web analysis and optimization service "Google Optimize" is used on our website. We use the service Google Optimize to increase the attractiveness, content, and functionality of our website by offering new features and content to a portion of our users and statistically evaluating the change in usage. Google Optimize is a sub-service of Google Analytics (see section Google Analytics).
Google Optimize uses cookies that allow us to optimize and analyze your use of our website. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We use Google Optimize with IP anonymization enabled so that your IP address is truncated beforehand by Google within Switzerland, within the member states of the European Union, or in other contracting states to 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. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your internet browser accordingly. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Google Ads Conversion
We use the service Google Ads Conversion to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising media (so-called Google Ads). In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. In this way, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is interesting for you, to make our website more interesting for you, and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
These ads are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies that can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or user clicks. When you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads stores a cookie on your terminal device. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally.
The analytics values stored for this cookie are usually the unique cookie ID, the number of ad views per placement (frequency), the last impression (relevant for conversions after the ad view), and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be contacted). These cookies allow Google to recognize your internet browser. When a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. A different cookie is assigned to each Ads customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Ads on customers' websites.
We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. These evaluations enable us to see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any other data through the use of the advertising tools; in particular, we cannot identify any users on the basis of this information. Through the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server.
We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our knowledge: Through the integration of Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us.
If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider receives and stores your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways:
(a) by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies prevents you from receiving third-party ads; (b) by installing the plug-in provided by Google at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin; (c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the self-regulatory campaign "About Ads" via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, which setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; (d) by permanently disabling them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers at the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin; and (e) by using the appropriate cookie setting. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
Google Ads Remarketing
We use the remarketing function within the Google Ads service. The remarketing function enables us to present users of our website with ads on other websites within the Google advertising network based on their interests. For this purpose, the interaction of users on our website is analyzed, e.g. which offers interested the user, in order to be able to display targeted ads on other websites to users even after they have visited our website.
For this purpose, Google stores cookies on the end devices of users who visit certain Google services or websites in the Google Display Network. These cookies are used to record the visits of these users. The cookies are used to uniquely identify a web browser on a particular end device and not to identify an individual.
Information on how Google Ads handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/technologies/ads.
Google Tag Manager
Our website uses the Google Tag Manager. The Tag Manager enables the management of tracking tools and website tags. This service does not use cookies and no personal data is collected. The Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this remains in effect for all
Linking with social media
Social networks (e.g. Facebook or LinkedIn) are only embedded on our website in the form of a link to the corresponding services. After clicking on the embedded text/image link, you will be redirected to the page of the respective provider. Only after you have been redirected will the user data be transmitted to the respective provider.

Your rights
In general, you have the following rights:
To request information about your personal data that we process; to request that we correct inaccurate or incomplete personal data that we hold about you; to request that we delete your personal data that we hold about you; to request that we restrict processing or disclose to third parties or prohibit the processing of your personal data; under certain circumstances, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format or to request that it be transferred to another controller; to revoke your consent to data processing, once given, at any time with effect for the future. In the event of a revocation, we will immediately delete the data in question, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent.
