Google Analytics

  1. On the basis of your consent (article 6 (1) (a) GDPR), we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the user is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information on our behalf to analyse the use of our online offering, to create reports on the activities within this online offering and to inform us of the use of this online offering and the services associated with internet use. Pseudonymized use profiles of the users can be created from the processed data.
  2. We use Google Analytics in order to only show our advertisements within the advertising services of Google and its partners only to those users who have shown interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (such as interest in certain subjects or products determined by the websites visited), which we send to Google (so-called "remarketing” or “Google Analytics Audiences”). Using the remarketing audience, we want to ensure that our advertisements are appropriate for the interests of the user and are not annoying.
  3. We use Google Analytics only with activated IP anonymization. This means that your IP address is truncated by Goggle within the member states of the European Union or in other contractual states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
  4. The IP address collected from your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be consolidated with other Google data. The users can prevent the storage of cookies using a relevant setting of their browser software. The users can also prevent the collection of the data related to their use of the online offering created by the cookie being collected by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the link below: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
  5. Additional information on the use of data by Google, settings and objection options can be found on the Google websites: www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (“Data use by Google on your use of websites or apps of our partners“), www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads(“Data use for advertising purposes”), www.google.de/settings/ads (“Managing information that Google uses to show you advertisements”).

Google Re/Marketing-Services

  1. We use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing Services” for short) of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, on the basis of your consent (article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) CA 94043, USA, ("Google").
  2. The Google Marketing Services allows us to display advertisements in a targeted manner for and on our website, to present users with only the advertisements that may potentially interest them. If a user is shown advertisements for products that they have shown interest in on other websites, we call this “remarketing”. For this purpose, when querying our and other websites on which Google Marketing Services is active, a code from Google is immediately assigned by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also called “web beacons”) are integrated into the website. Using these, an individual cookie, a small file, is stored on the user's computer (technologies comparable to cookies may also be used). The cookies can be deposited by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file notes which websites the user visits, the content in which they are interested and which offers they clicked on as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time and other information on the use of the online offering. The IP address of the user is also collected, whereby we notify within the framework of Google Analytics that the IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contractual states of the Treaty on the European Economic Area will be truncated, and only in cases of exception sent as a whole to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address will not be linked to the data of the user within other offers from Google. The present information can also be linked to such information from other sources on the part of Google. If the user then visits other websites, advertising fit for their interests can be displayed.
  3. The user data are processed under a pseudonym within the framework of the Google Marketing Services. This means that Google does saves and process the name or e-mail address of the user but processes the relevant cookie-related data using a pseudonymized user profile. This means that from the viewpoint of Google, the advertisements are not administered for concretely identified persons, but only for the cookie owner, regardless of who this cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has expressly authorized Google to process this data without pseudonymization. The information collected by Google Marketing Services is sent to Google and stored on Google's servers in the USA.
  4. The online advertising program “Google AdWords” is one of the Google Marketing Services we use. In the case of Google AdWords, every AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies can thus not be traced via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using cookies serve for the creation of conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have decided to use conversion tracking. The AdWords customers can see the total number of users that have clicked on their advertisement and who were forwarded to a page equipped with a conversion tracking tag. They do not receive any information that can be used to identify a user personally.
  5. We can include advertising from third parties using the Google Marketing Service “DoubleClick”. DoubleClick uses cookies with which Google and its partner websites are able to change the display of advertisements based on the visits of users to this website or other websites on the internet.
  6. We can include advertising from third parties using the Google Marketing Service “AdSense”. AdSense uses cookies with which Google and its partner websites are able to change the display of advertisements based on the visits of users to this website or other websites on the internet.
  7. We can also use the “Google Optimizer” service. Google Optimizer allows us to see how various changes affect a website within the framework of so-called “A/B testing” (such as changes to entry fields, design, etc.). Cookies are deposited on the users’ devices for test purposes. Only the pseudonymized user data is processed.
  8. In addition, we can us “Google Tag Manager” to include the Google analysis and marketing services in our website and manage them.
  9. You will find additional information on the use of data for marketing purposes by Google at the overview page: www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, Google's data protection statement can be found at www.google.com/policies/privacy.
  10. If you wish to object to this interest-based advertising by Google Marketing Services, you can use the Google settings and opt-out function: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.
