3.3 Web Analysis/Marketing

3.3.1 Google Analytics

We use the analysis tool Google Analytics on our website. The provider of this analysis tool is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and thus enable an analysis of your use of the website. This analysis data is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The legal basis for data processing is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which enables us to process the data in the event of a legitimate interest. In this case, our legitimate interest is to analyze user behavior in order to optimize our offer and our advertising.

We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been expanded to include the code "gat._anonymizeIp();" in order to ensure anonymous recording of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). By activating IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted 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 our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your Internet browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your internet browser accordingly. However, we would like to expressly point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

You can prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link and downloading the tool offered there: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

The transmission of personal data is exclusively encrypted via an SSL or TLS connection.
