PROCESSING OF DATA FOR VISITS TO THIS WEBSITE AND CREATING OF LOG FILES
You can visit our website without signing up or providing any information concerning your person. Each time you access our website, however, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is necessary for the operation of the website.
Legal basis for the collection of data: The legal basis for the temporary storage in log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Purpose of data processing: The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer.

The data is also used to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes are, at the same time, also our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Duration of storage: The data will be erased, as soon as it is not needed any more to achieve the purpose. In case the stored data was needed to provide the service of our website, data will be erased at the end of the session.

WEBSITE-ANALYSIS, MARKETING
Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored on servers of Google in the United States.
When using Google Analytics on this website, we have activated the “IP anonymization” function. As a result, your IP address is anonymised by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission to the USA and can therefore no longer be assigned to you. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and anonymised there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services to website operators relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser is not combined with other data.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as Google from processing this data by downloading and Installing the available browser plug-in under the following link:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
For more information about how Google Analytics treats user data, please see Google’s privacy policy:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de
Further information on the use of your data by google can be found as follows:
www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html
Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. The website operator has a justified interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both, its website and its advertising; this also serves to finance, customer-oriented use, adaptation and updating of the website.
We concluded a data processing agreement with Google.
Using Google Analytics Remarketing with Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick
Our website uses the features of Google Analytics Remarketing combined with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google.
This feature allows the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-related, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you, depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one device (e.g. mobile phone), can also be displayed on your other devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browser history to your Google Account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalised advertising messages can be placed on every device on which you log in with your Google Account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user ID’s that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target audiences for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by opting out of personalised advertising in your Google account by following this link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
For further information and the privacy policy, please see Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/
GA Audiences
On this website we use GA Audiences, a web analytics service provided by Google. This service collects and stores data to create pseudonymised user profiles. This technology enables users who have visited our website to view targeted advertising from us on other external pages of the Google partner network. For this purpose, a cookie is placed on your computer with which the user behaviour can be analysed and subsequently used for targeted advertising. No personal data is stored and processed when cookies are set. If you do not wish to receive interest-based advertising, you can deactivate the use of cookies by Google for these purposes by following the instructions on https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/
