You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies, allow cookies only in specific cases, block cookies for certain situations or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

4. Analytics Tools and Advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your website usage. The information generated by these cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both the website and its advertising.
IP Anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that Google truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union (EU) or other signatory states of the European Economic Area (EEA) before transmission to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Browser Plugin
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to their full extent.
Additionally, you can prevent the collection of data related to your website usage (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link:

Google Privacy Policy – Google Analytics
Data Processing Agreement
We have signed a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Demographic Data in Google Analytics
This website uses the “Demographics and Interests Reports” feature in Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated containing information on age, gender, and interests of website visitors. These data come from Google’s interest-based advertising and third-party visitor data. These data cannot be assigned to any specific individual.
You can disable this feature at any time via the Google Ads settings in your Google account, or you can opt out of Google Analytics tracking as described in the “Opting Out of Data Collection” section.
Google Analytics Remarketing
Our website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in combination with the cross-device capabilities of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. The provider of these services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This feature enables us to link the advertising target audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. This allows interest-based, personalized advertising messages that are tailored to your previous browsing behavior on one device (e.g., smartphone) to also be displayed on another device (e.g., tablet or PC).
If you have given your consent, Google links your web and app browsing history to your Google account. This allows personalized advertising to be displayed on any device where you are signed in with your Google account.
To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which 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 disabling personalized advertising in your Google account. To do so, follow this link:
Disable Personalized Ads
The aggregation of collected data in your Google account occurs exclusively based on your consent, which you can provide or withdraw at Google (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
For data collection processes that are not merged into your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging of data), data collection is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a unique cookie. These cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different AdWords customers. The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers receive information on the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.
