Access data (server log files)

When you visit our website, we automatically collect and store access data in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are

- Browser type and browser version of your PC

§ 1

Web analysis tools and advertising

- Operating system used by your PC
- Referrer URL (source/reference from which you came to our website)
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Date and time of the server request
- the IP address currently used by your PC (possibly in anonymized form)

As a rule, it is not possible for us to identify you personally, nor is this intended. The processing of such data is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to protect our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.

Cookies

In order to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer system.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

1.1 Google Analytics

Our website uses the web analysis service Google Analytics in the version Google Analytics 4.

The provider is Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland

(“Google”).

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable your use of our website to be analyzed. In Google Analytics, all data is collected from devices located in the EU (based on the geographical location according to the IP address) via domains and servers in the EU before the traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing. The legal basis for the processing of your data is the consent you have given via the cookie consent tool in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.

a) IP anonymization

With Google Analytics, the IP anonymization function is automatically activated on the website. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the EU or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. According to Google, no IP addresses are logged and stored in Google Analytics, but are only processed briefly for geo-localization and deleted immediately afterwards. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
 

b) Demographic characteristics with Google Analytics

Our website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics.

This allows reports to be created that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of visitors to the site. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics - as described in the section “Objection to data collection”.

c) Google Signals

In connection with this website, the Google Signals service is also used as an extension of Google Analytics. With Google Signals, we can have Google create cross-device reports (so-called “cross-device tracking”). If you have activated “personalized ads” in your Google account settings and linked your Internet-enabled devices to your Google account, Google can analyze usage behavior across devices and create database models based on this if you have given your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. This takes into account the logins and device types of all website users who were logged into a Google account and carried out a conversion.

The data shows, among other things, on which device you clicked on an ad for the first time and on which device the relevant conversion took place. We do not receive any personal data from Google, but only statistics compiled on the basis of Google Signals. You have the option of deactivating the “personalized ads” function in the settings of your Google account and thus deactivating the cross-device analysis in connection with Google Signals. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922.

Further information on Google Signals can be found at the following link: support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985.

d) Order processing

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

e) Storage duration

Data stored by Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) will be deleted after 2 months. For details, please see the following link: support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196.

f) Right of withdrawal

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of data in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR at any time with effect for the future by calling up the cookie settings and changing your selection there. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by a revocation.

You can find more information on the handling of user data at Google Analytics in Google's privacy policy: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

Further information on data protection can be found in Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy

1.2 Google Tag Manager

Our website uses Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. The tool that implements the tags is a cookie-less domain and does not store any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

1.3 Google Ads and Google conversion tracking

Our website uses Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords). Google Ads is an online advertising program from the provider Google.

Google Ads enables us to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertising material on external websites and to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. This helps us to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

As part of Google Ads, we use what is known as conversion tracking. The advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called “AdServers”. For this purpose, we use so-called AdServer cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If you visit certain pages of our website when the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you have clicked on the specific ad and have been redirected to this page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for the cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Ads customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The summary of the data collected in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that we have an interest in the anonymized analysis of visitors to our website for advertising purposes in order to optimize both our website and our advertising.

Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google's privacy policy at: policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

1.4 Google Remarketing

Our website uses the functions of Google Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick from the provider Google.

Google Remarketing analyzes your user behavior on our website in order to classify you into specific advertising target groups and then display suitable advertising messages to you when you visit other online offers (remarketing or retargeting).

The advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked to Google's cross-device functions so that interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device are also displayed on another of your devices. If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you sign in with your Google account.

To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising.

You can permanently opt-out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by turning off personalized advertising in your Google Account by following this link: www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The summary of the data collected in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that we have an interest in the anonymized analysis of visitors to our website for advertising purposes.

Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google's privacy policy at: policies.google.com/technologies/ads.
