By default, Google Analytics 4 does not use cookies when you visit the website unless you expressly consent to cookies. Instead, information about your usage behavior is collected and processed by so-called pings (small data packets that are sent to the host of an end device). The scope of this information also includes your IP address, which, however, is shortened by Google by the last digits in order to exclude any direct personal reference.

The information is transferred to Google servers and processed there. Transmission to Google LLC, based in the USA, is also possible.

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de and at https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

Demographic characteristics

If you have activated personalized ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google may, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including cross-device conversions. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics. If you want to stop the cross-device analysis, you can deactivate the “Personalized advertising” function in the settings of your Google account. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de You can find more information about Google Signals at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de

Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the cache of the website visitor’s Internet browser. Among other things, cookies make it possible to recognize the Internet browser. If data collected using Matomo technology (including your pseudonymized IP address) is transferred to Matomo servers in New Zealand and processed for usage analysis purposes, we hereby inform you that the European Commission has issued a so-called adequacy decision for New Zealand, which certifies compliance with European data protection standards for international data transfers.

The pseudonymized information generated by the cookie is not used to personally identify the visitor to this website and is not merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of cookies for reading information on the terminal device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

10.4 Matomo

This website uses a web analysis service from the following provider: InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, (“Matomo“)

To protect site visitors, Matomo uses a so-called “config_id” to enable various analyses of site usage within a short time window of up to 24 hours. The site’s “config_id” is a randomly set, time-limited hash of a limited set of the visitor’s settings and attributes. The config_id or config hash is a string that is calculated for a visitor based on their operating system, browser, browser plugins, IP address and browser language. Matomo does not use device fingerprinting and uses an anonymized IP address of the site visitor to create the “config_id”.

If the information processed in this way includes personal user data, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes. To object to the future processing of your visitor data, we provide you with a separate opt-out option on our website.

If data is also transferred to the provider’s server and the web analysis service is not installed locally on our server, we have concluded an order processing contract with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors’ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

10.5 SalesViewer

This website uses the web analysis service of the following provider: SalesViewer® GmbH, Huestr. 30, 44787 Bochum, Germany

With the help of cookies and/or comparable technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading end device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the end device used, such as the IP address and browser information, in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of usage behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. Among other things, this makes it possible to evaluate movement patterns (so-called heat maps), which show the duration of page visits and interactions with page content (e.g. text input, scrolling, clicks and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization rules out the possibility of direct personal identification. Your personal data is not merged with clear data collected in any other way.

All processing described above, in particular the reading or storage of information on the terminal device used, will only be carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the “cookie consent tool” provided on the website.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

11) Retargeting/remarketing and conversion tracking

Google Ads conversion tracking

This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and, as part of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google“).

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising material (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. Our aim is 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 the advertising costs incurred.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your end device. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. 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.

In the context of the use of Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA.

Details on the processing triggered by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and how Google handles data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads Conversion Tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in from Google available at the following link:
https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=de

In order to target users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships even more effectively, we use a customer matching function as part of Google Ads. For this purpose, we transmit one or more files with aggregated customer data (primarily e-mail addresses and telephone numbers) to Google electronically. Google does not have access to clear data, but automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. The encrypted information can then only be used by Google to assign it to existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables the display of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

Customer data will only be transmitted to Google if you have given us your express consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. Further information on Google’s data protection measures in relation to the customer matching function can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

The collection, storage and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google’s legitimate interest in the display of personalized advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of Google websites. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right. If you do not agree to the future transmission of your data to Google in connection with the use of Google Maps, you also have the option of completely deactivating the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then not be used.

Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent to the processing of your data as described above in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the option described above for making an objection.

12.4 Google reCAPTCHA

On this website, we use the CAPTCHA service of the following provider: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

Data may also be transmitted to: Google LLC, USA. For the visual design of the captcha window, the provider uses “Google Fonts”, i.e. fonts downloaded from the Internet by Google. No information other than that already transmitted to Google via the ReCaptcha functionality is processed.

The service checks whether an input is made by a natural person or abusively by machine and automated processing, and blocks spam, DDoS attacks and similar automated malicious access. In order to ensure that an action is carried out by a person and not by an automated bot, the provider collects the IP address of the end device used, identification data of the browser and operating system type used as well as the date and duration of the visit and transmits these to the provider’s servers for evaluation.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest in determining individual responsibility on the Internet and the prevention of misuse and spam in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

13) Tools and miscellaneous

13.1 Cookie consent tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when they access the website in the form of an interactive user interface, on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking a box. By using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives the corresponding consent by ticking the box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user’s end device if consent has been granted.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not processed in this process.

If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.

Another legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the setting options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

13.2 Wordfence

For security purposes, this website uses the service of the following provider: Defiant Inc, 800 5th Ave Ste 4100, Seattle, WA 98104, USA

The provider protects the website and the associated IT infrastructure from unauthorized third-party access, cyber attacks, viruses and malware. The provider collects the IP addresses of users and, if necessary, other data on your behavior on our website (in particular URLs accessed and header information) in order to detect and ward off illegitimate page access and threats. The IP address recorded is compared with a list of known attackers. If the recorded IP address is recognized as a security risk, the provider can automatically block it from accessing the site. The information collected in this way is transmitted to a server of the provider and stored there.

The data processing described is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interests in protecting the website from harmful cyber attacks and in maintaining structural and data integrity and security.

If visitors to the website have login rights, the provider also places cookies (= small text files) on the visitor’s device. With the help of cookies, certain location and device information can be read, which enables an assessment of whether the login-authorized access originates from a legitimate person. At the same time, access rights can be evaluated via the cookies and released via an internal site firewall according to the authorization level. Finally, the cookies are used to register irregular access by site administrators from new devices or new locations and to notify other administrators of this.
These cookies are only set if a user has login rights. The provider does not set cookies for site visitors without login authorization.
If personal data is processed via the cookies, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit f. GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in preventing illegitimate access to the site administration and preventing unauthorized administrator access.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our website visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
