V. Use of analysis services (Google Analytics)
For the purpose of a needs-based design and the ongoing optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: “Google") (
We use Google Analytics on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. In this way, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the ongoing optimization of our website. In addition, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you.

Due to Google’s certification under the EU-US Privacy Shield, the European Commission has determined an adequate level of data protection for Google.
The above-mentioned information may also be transferred to third parties, if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. In no case will the IP address transmitted by your browser be merged with other data from Google. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).

VI. Use of marketing services (Google Ads)
On our website we have integrated the service Google Ads. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows to place ads in Google’s search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. The operating company of this service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. In this way, we want to ensure that our website is advertised in a targeted and needs-oriented manner. In connection with the tracking measures described in section V., the use of the advertising offers on our website is statistically recorded and evaluated for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These interests are considered legitimate in the sense of the aforementioned provision.
The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying advertisements on the websites of third-party companies and in Google’s search results, as well as displaying third-party advertisements on our website.
For statistical evaluation and improvement of our offer, the Google Ads advertisements are evaluated with the help of Google Conversion Tracking. For this purpose, Google Ads sets a cookie (see section IV.) on your computer, if you have accessed our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Ads customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Ads customers’ websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Ads clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, via a browser setting that generally disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com".
Google’s further information and privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found here: https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/1722022?hl=de and https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
Furthermore, we use Google Tag Manager on our website. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Our website also uses Google’s remarketing function. This technology is used to present interest-based advertisements to visitors of the website within the Google Partner Network. The ads are displayed through the use of cookies, which are used to analyze user behavior when visiting the website and can then be used for targeted product recommendations and interest-based advertising. On these pages, the visitor can then be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use Google’s remarketing technology. According to its own information, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. You can access more information here http://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html and here https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
If you do not wish to receive interest-based advertising via Google’s remarketing technology, you can disable Google’s use of cookies for these purposes by making the appropriate settings at the following link:
