We have contracted a so-called data processing agreement with Google.
We have concluded a so-called order processing agreement insofar as Google acts as a processor for us. The data sharing settings to Google has been deactivated, so that consequently there is no joint controllership with Google. Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site.
The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of systematically evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
If individual pages of our website are called up, the following data is stored:

- time spent on the website
- frequency of a call of the website
- scroll behavior and clicks
- achievement of âwebsite objectivesâ (e.g. newsletter registrations)

- information about the used browser, internet provider and device information
We use Google Analytics with enabled IP anonymization. Through this, the IP addresses are shortened by the last octet (e.g. 192.168.79.***; so-called IP masking). It is no longer possible to assign the abbreviated IP address to the calling computer or terminal device.
Google Ireland Limited transmits data to Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. We would like to point out that the European Court of Justice (ECJ) has doubts about the adequacy of the level of data protection in the USA. In particular, there is a risk that personal data may be processed by government authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly also without any legal remedy.
b) Purpose of data processing
The service of Google Analytics is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our online presence.
c) Legal basis
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent pursuant Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of 14 months since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID that allows you to be recognized during future visits to the website.
The recorded data is stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. This user-related data is automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data remains stored in aggregated form for an unlimited period.
e) Right of withdrawal
The stored data will be deleted as soon as you withdraw your consent by deselecting the selected cookie category âStatisticsâ under âchange cookie settingsâ.

Tags are small elements of code on your website which, among other things, serve to measure traffic and visitor behavior, to identify the impacts of online advertisement and social channels, use remarketing and targeting and to test and optimize your website. This means: No additional cookies are used. Google Tag Manager triggers other tags, which may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level â in particular, if you have opted for the Google Analytics opt-out solution described above or have made the corresponding settings in your browser â it will remain in effect for all tracking tags provided that these are implemented with the Google Tag Manager.

We use the âvisitor action pixelâ of Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (âFacebookâ) within our Internet presence. The remarketing tag or pixel-code of Facebook was implemented. Facebook and we are jointly responsible for data processing.
The Facebook pixel enables Facebook to determine the visitors of our online offering as a target group for the display of advertising (so-called âFacebook adsâ). The tracking of a user can also take place across several websites. We use Facebook pixel in order to display the Facebook advertising placed by us only to those Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain features (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called âcustom audiencesâ).
The Facebook pixel also enables us to track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes (âAudience Insightsâ) by showing us whether users were referred to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (âConversionâ).
The Facebook pixel is a JavaScript code that sends the following data to Facebook:
- http header information: including IP address, web browser information, page location, document, web page URL and web browser user agent (computer, smartphone, tablet, other), and date and time of use
- pixel-specific data: Pixel ID and Facebook cookie data, including Facebook ID (used to associate events with a specific Facebook advertising account to associate them with a Facebook user).

Further information can be found here. We also use the additional function âautomatic advanced matchingâ. Data such as first and last name, place of residence, e-mail addresses, telephone numbers or Facebook IDs of the users are transmitted to Facebook in encrypted form for the formation of target groups (âCustom Audiencesâ or âlook alike audiencesâ). This also includes information from non-Facebook users and from users who are not logged on to Facebook when they visit our website. This can also be used to identify website visitors who have disabled the storage of third-party cookies. If no Facebook cookies are stored in your browser, no classification into one of the user groups referred to as âCustom Audienceâ will be made.

Data security and security measures
We are committed to protecting your privacy and treating your personal data confidentially. For this purpose, we take extensive technical and organizational security precautions, which are regularly checked and adapted to technological progress.
These include the use of recognized encryption procedures (SSL or TLS). Unencrypted data, e.g. when sent by unencrypted e-mail, may be read by third parties. We have no influence on this. It is the responsibility of the respective user to protect the data provided by him/her against misuse by means of encryption or in any other way.
