On our website, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (“Google”) to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about users’ use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.   Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee that it will comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).   Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offering and internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.   The processing of users’ personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continually improve our website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the user’s interest in protecting personal data is sufficiently taken into account.   We use Google Analytics to show the advertisements placed within the advertising services of Google and its partners only to those users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products) based on the information they visit websites) that we transmit to Google (so-called “remarketing” or “Google Analytics audiences”). With the help of remarketing audiences, we also want to ensure that our ads match the potential interest of users and do not appear annoying.   We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization activated. This means that the user’s IP address is shortened by Google within 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.   The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser is not merged with other Google data.  
  1. Legal basis for processing personal data

Users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online offering and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to fully use all functions of the website. Further information about Google’s use of data, settings and objection options can be found on the Google websites: https://www .google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (“Use of data by Google when you use our partners’ websites or apps”), https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads (“Use of data for advertising purposes”), https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated (“Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising”). Google-Re/Marketing-Services
  1. Scope and purpose of processing personal data
On our website, we use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing Services” for short) from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, ( “Google”). Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC (“Google”).   Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thereby offers a guarantee that it will comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).   The Google marketing services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner in order to only show users advertisements that potentially match their interests. For example, if a user is shown ads for products that they were interested in on other websites, this is referred to as “remarketing”. For these purposes, when you visit our and other websites on which Google marketing services are active, Google directly executes a code from Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as “Web Beacons”) are integrated into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user’s device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies). The cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file records which websites the user has visited, what content they are interested in and which offers they have clicked on, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time and other information about the use of the online offer. The user’s IP address is also recorded, although we inform Google Analytics that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases Transferred to servers by Google in the USA and shortened there. The IP address is not merged with the user’s data within other Google offerings. Google may also combine the information mentioned above with such information from other sources. When the user then visits other websites, ads tailored to their interests can be shown to them.   User data is processed pseudonymously as part of Google marketing services. This means that Google does not store and process the user’s name or email address, for example, but rather processes the relevant cookie-related data within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that from Google’s perspective, the advertisements are not managed and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who the cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected by Google Marketing Services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the USA.   The Google marketing services we use include the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.   We can integrate third-party advertisements based on the Google marketing service “DoubleClick”. DoubleClick uses cookies that enable Google and its partner websites to serve ads based on users’ visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.   We can integrate third-party advertisements based on the Google marketing service “AdSense”. AdSense uses cookies to enable Google and its partner websites to serve ads based on users’ visits to this website or other websites on the Internet.   We can also use the “Google Optimizer” service. Google Optimizer allows us to use so-called “A/B testing” to understand the impact of various changes to a website (e.g. changes to input fields, design, etc.). Cookies are stored on users’ devices for these testing purposes. Only pseudonymous user data is processed.   We can also use the “Google Tag Manager” to integrate and manage Google analysis and marketing services into our website.

The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user’s device and integrated into the online offering. User usage profiles can be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore inform users according to our level of knowledge.   By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offering. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. When users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.   The purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the relevant rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users can be found in Facebook’s data protection information: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
