8) Web Analysis Services

Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, with which the use of websites can be analyzed.

When Google Analytics 4 is used, cookies are used by default. Cookies are text files stored on Your terminal device which enable analysis of Your use of a website. The information collected by cookies about Your use of the website, including the IP address transmitted by Your terminal device and shortened by the last digits, is generally transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there. In this context, information may also be transferred to servers of Google LLC located in the USA.

When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by Your terminal device when You use the website is collected and processed by default only in anonymized form, so that direct personal reference to the information collected is excluded. This automatic anonymization is carried out by shortening the IP address transmitted by Your terminal device within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area by the last digits.

On our behalf, Google uses this and other information to evaluate Your use of the website, to compile reports on Your website activities and usage behavior, and to provide us with other services related to website use and internet use. The shortened IP address transmitted by Your terminal device within the scope of Google Analytics 4 is not merged with other Google data. The data collected in the context of the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for 2 months and then deleted.

Through a special function, the so called “demographic features”, Google Analytics 4 also enables the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender and interests of website users on the basis of an evaluation of interest based advertising and with the inclusion of third party information. This makes it possible to determine and distinguish user groups of the website for the purpose of target group optimized alignment of marketing measures. However, data collected via the “demographic features” cannot be assigned to a specific person and therefore not to You personally. This data is stored for two months and then deleted.

All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for the storage and reading of information on the terminal device used by You for the use of the website, takes place only if You have given us Your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without Your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during Your use of the website. You can revoke any consent given at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service via the cookie consent tool provided on the website.

We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google. In order to ensure compliance with the European level of data protection in the event data is transferred from the EU or EEA to the USA, Google relies on the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission.

This allows the effectiveness of Meta advertisements to be evaluated for statistical and market research purposes and enables the optimization of future advertising measures.

The data collected is anonymous to us and therefore does not permit any conclusions to be drawn as to the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Meta may use the data for its own advertising purposes in accordance with the Meta Privacy Policy. This may enable Meta to place advertisements on Meta pages and outside of Meta. We have no final influence on this data processing.

In particular, the use of Meta Pixel may involve the processing of the following data: pages accessed, information about the browser used, information about the terminal device used, referrer URL, IP address, as well as pixel and cookie data.

The use of Meta Pixel and the storage and reading of information on Your terminal device take place exclusively on the basis of Your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

9) Site Functionalities

Google Web Fonts
This website uses so called web fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, for the uniform display of fonts. When a page is accessed, Your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose, the browser You use must establish a connection to Google’s servers. In this context, personal data may also be transmitted to servers of Google LLC in the USA. In this way, Google obtains knowledge that our website has been accessed via Your IP address. The processing of personal data in the course of establishing a connection with the provider of the fonts takes place only if You have given us Your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You may revoke any consent granted at any time with effect for the future by deactivating this service in the cookie consent tool provided on the website.
