Use of Google Analytics
If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA (hereinafter referred to as "Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

Social Plugins
On our website, social plugins from the providers listed below are used. You can recognize the plugins by the corresponding logo.
Through these plugins, information may be sent to the service provider, including personal data, and may be used by them. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding switch. Only through this activation of the plugin will the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider be triggered. We do not collect any personal data ourselves via the social plugins or through their use.
We have no influence on which data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. It must currently be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services is established and at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. There is also the possibility that the service providers will attempt to store cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the privacy notices of the respective service provider for specific information on which data is collected and how it is used.

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The operator of Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you have arrived at our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google AdWords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google.
If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot thus be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are provided with the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
