This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"), based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) of the GDPR.

We have integrated Google Remarketing services into this website. Google Remarketing is a feature of Google AdWords that allows companies to display advertisements to internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows companies to create user-specific advertising and consequently display interest-based ads to internet users. The operator of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display interest-based advertising. Google Remarketing allows us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or on other websites, tailored to the individual needs and interests of internet users. Google Remarketing places a cookie on the data subject's computer system. This cookie enables Google to recognize visitors to our website when they subsequently visit other websites that are also part of the Google advertising network.

Each time you access a website that integrates the Google Remarketing service, your internet browser automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives personal data, such as your IP address and browsing behavior, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-based advertising. The cookie stores personal information, such as the websites you visit. Therefore, each time you visit our website, personal data, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the United States. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States. Google may share this personal data, collected through this technical process, with third parties.

You can prevent our website from setting cookies at any time, as described above, by adjusting the settings of your internet browser accordingly, thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such a browser setting would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on your computer system. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via your internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from every internet browser you use and adjust the settings accordingly. This analysis is carried out, in particular, in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, conducting market research, and/or designing our website to meet user needs. Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ .

Our website uses the functions of Google AdWords Remarketing to advertise this website in Google search results and on third-party websites. The provider is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). For this purpose, Google places a cookie in the browser of your device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited.

The processing is based on our legitimate interest in the optimal marketing of our website in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Further data processing only takes place if you have consented to Google linking your internet and app browsing history to your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads you see on the web.

If you are logged into Google during your visit to our website, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target audience lists for cross-device remarketing. For this purpose, your personal data is temporarily linked by Google with Google Analytics data to form target audiences.

You can permanently disable the setting of cookies for ad preferences by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/ . Alternatively, you can learn about the use of cookies and adjust your settings at the Digital Advertising Alliance website : www.aboutads.info . Finally, you can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set, allowing you to decide whether to accept them individually, or to block cookies in certain cases or entirely. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework, which ensures compliance with the data protection standards applicable in the EU.

We have integrated Google AdWords into this website. Google AdWords is an online advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads both in Google search results and on the Google Display Network. Google AdWords enables advertisers to predefine specific keywords that trigger the display of an ad in Google search results only when a user enters a keyword-relevant search term. On the Google Display Network, ads are distributed across thematically relevant websites using an automated algorithm that takes the predefined keywords into account. The operator of the Google AdWords service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-based advertising on third-party websites and in Google search results, as well as displaying third-party advertising on our website. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google will place a so-called conversion cookie on your computer. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify you. Provided the cookie has not yet expired, it tracks whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online store, have been accessed on our website.

The conversion cookie allows both us and Google to track whether a user who arrived at our website via an AdWords ad generated a sale, i.e., completed a purchase or abandoned the purchase. The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visitor statistics for our website. We, in turn, use these visitor statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, thus enabling us to assess the success or failure of each AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive any information from Google that could be used to identify you.

The conversion cookie stores personal information, such as the websites you visit. Therefore, each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of your internet connection, is transmitted to Google in the United States. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States. Google may share this personal data, collected through this technical process, with third parties.

You can prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of your web browser, thus permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such a browser setting would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on your computer. Furthermore, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via your web browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, you have the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, you must access the link www.google.de/settings/ads from your internet browser and adjust the settings accordingly. This analysis is carried out, in particular, in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, conducting market research, and/or designing our website to meet user needs. Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ .

This website uses Google Tag Manager, a cookieless domain that does not collect any personal data. This tool allows "website tags" (i.e., keywords embedded in HTML elements) to be implemented and managed via an interface.

By using Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link, or personalized image you have actively clicked and thus determine which content on our website is of particular interest to you. The tool also triggers other tags, which may in turn collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

If you have deactivated tracking at the domain or cookie level, this will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. The use of Google Tag Manager is in the interest of providing a convenient and user-friendly experience on our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
