Google Analytics

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysing, optimising, and commercially operating our online offer in the sense of Article 6 (1, f) GDPR), we rely on Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google LLC (´Google’). Google uses cookies. As a rule, information generated by the user making use of the online offer is sent to and stored on a Google server in the USA.

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Framework and, as such, offers a guarantee that European data protection legislation is complied with (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate how users make use of our online offer, to compile reports about activities within this online offer, and to provide us with other services associated with the use of this online offer and internet usage. This allows us to create pseudonymised usage profiles for the users from the data processed.

We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymisation enabled. This means that the user’s IP address is abbreviated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there.

The IP address sent from the user’s IP address is not mixed with other data by Google. Users are able to prevent the storage of cookies by appropriately adjusting their browser software. In addition, users are able to prevent the recording by Google of data generated and relating to their use of the online offer as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Alternatively, you can opt out of Google Analytics by clicking on this link.

You will find more information about the use of data by Google, and setting and objection options on Google’s websites: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners (‘use if data by Google when using apps or websites of our partners’), https://adssettings.google.de (‘use of data for the purpose of advertising’), (‘managing information used by Google for showing you advertising’).

Google Re/Marketing services

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysing, optimising, and commercially operating our online offer in the sense of Article 6 (1, f) GDPR), we use the marketing and remarketing services (in short ‘Google Marketing Services’) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, (‘Google’)

Google Marketing Services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a targeted manner to only present to users what they may be interested in. Where, for example, a user is shown adverts for products for which he/she is interested in on other websites, this is called remarketing. For these purposes, when our or other websites are accessed on which Google Marketing Services are enabled, a Google code is immediately created by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (unseen graphics or codes, also referred to as pixels) are integrated in the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small file, is stored on the user’s device (comparable technology can be used instead of cookies). Cookies can be placed by different domains, including by google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. This file notes what websites the user has visited, in what content he is interested, and on what offers he has clicked, in addition to technical information about the browser, referring websites, time of visit, and other details about using the online offer. The user’s IP address is also recorded, where under Google Analytics we state that the IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area is abbreviated and only sent in its entirety to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. The IP address is not combined with the user’s data within other Google offers. The aforementioned information can also be associated by Google with such information from other sources. If the user then visits other websites, he/she can be shown adverts tailored to him/her according to his/her interests.

The user’s data is processed under Google Marketing Services in a pseudonymised manner. In other words, and by way of example, Google does not store the user’s name or email address, rather it processes the relevant data related to cookies within a pseudonymised user profile. In other words, from Google’s point of view, the adverts are not managed and shown for a specific identified person, rather for the cookie holder, regardless of who the cookie holder is. This does not apply if a user has expressly allowed Google to process the data without this anonymisation. Information collected by Google Marketing Services about the user is sent to Google and stored on Google servers in the USA.

Google marketing services used by us include, among other things, the online advertising program ‘Google AdWords’. In the case of Google AdWords, every AdWords customer receives a conversion cookie. As such cookies cannot be tracked via AdWords customers’ websites. Information obtained with the help of cookies serves to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers are provided with the total number of users who have clicked on their advert and been directed to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. Nevertheless, they receive no information allowing users to be personally identified.

In addition, we use the Google Tag Manager for integrating and managing Google analysis and marketing services in our website.

You can find out more about the use of data for marketing purposes by Google at the overview page: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, Google’s privacy policy can be accessed under https://www.google.com/policies/privacy.

If you would like to object to advertising based on interests by Google Marketing Services you can use setting and opt-out options provided by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

Use of Google Analytics advertising features

Depending on the pages you visit on our Website, we may further use certain Google Analytics Display Advertising features, such as demographics and interest reporting and remarketing features.

To enable these features, a third party DoubleClick Cookie will be placed on your device by Google (when you visit certain pages of our Website or websites from other publishers that have implemented advertising features based on the DoubleClick Cookie).

The DoubleClick Cookie stores information about your use of our Website (and eventually other websites visited in the Google advertising network), including the sites visited, ad views, page views, user interaction data, browser information, IP-address, a cookie ID, and your search history. Google will not link your name or other personally identifiable information to your DoubleClick cookie without your prior consent.

We use Google Analytics to analyze the data stored in the DoubleClick Cookie in order to obtain statistical reports on our user’s demographics (age, gender) and interests. These reports help us to better understand our users and to improve our Website and services.

In addition, we use Google Analytics’ remarketing features to run advertising campaigns (including Google AdWords) to users of our Website. Based on their prior visits to our Website (and their interests expressed during those previous sessions), these users will be delivered relevant targeted advertising when they browse other sites in the Internet within the Google Display Network. We may also use the Google Analytics Advertising features to help us measure the effectiveness of advertising campaigns.

Please further note that the DoubleClick Cookie also enables Google and other third party vendors to serve targeted advertising (based on your prior visits to our Website and/or other sites on the Internet). These ads may be shown on websites of Google and/or other publishers participating in the Google advertising network.

You can manage your preferences and opt-out of Google’s interest-based ads in your Google Ads Setting. In this case, the unique cookie ID of the DoubleClick-Cookie is overwritten and can’t be associated with a particular browser. Please note that a new DoubleClick-Cookie might be placed if you delete all cookies from your device and you may have to renew your opt-out settings.

If you would like to permanently deactivate the DoubleClick-Cookie please download and install the browser-plugin which is available here.

You can further opt-out of third-party vendors’ use of cookies for online advertising at the US-based aboutads.info.choices page or the EU-based Your Online Choices page.

Google reCaptcha

Our website uses Google reCAPTCHA, also a service of Google (see also section V.1.) reCAPTCHA prevents automated software (so-called bots) from carrying out abusive activities on the website, i.e. it checks whether the entries made are actually from a human being. The following data is processed to determine this:

Referrer (address of the page on which the captcha is used), IP address, cookies set by Google, input behaviour of the user (e.g. answering the reCAPTCHA question, input speed in form fields, order of selection of input fields by the user), browser type, browser plug-ins, browser size and resolution, date, language setting, display instructions (CSS) and scripts (Javascript).

Google also reads the cookies from other Google services such as Gmail, Search and Analytics. If you do not want this assignment to your Google account, you must log out of Google before you can access the respective page.

The legal basis is article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in protecting our website from spam and misuse.

The data mentioned above will be sent to Google in encrypted form. Google’s evaluation decides in which form the captcha is displayed on the page. In the event that personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield.

You can find more information about Google in Section V.1. of this Privacy Statement.

Google Optimize

The web analysis and optimization service “Google Optimize” is used on our website, also a service of Google (see also section V.1.) We use the Google Optimize service to enhance the attractiveness, content and functionality of our website by making new functions and content available to a percentage of our users and statistically evaluating changes in use. Google Optimize is a sub-service of Google Analytics (see subsection 1. on Google Analytics).

Google Optimize uses cookies to help optimize and analyze how you use our website. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. We use Google Optimize with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. You can find more information on this in the section on Google Analytics within this Privacy Statement .

The legal basis for the processing of your data is our legitimate interest within the meaning of article 6(1)(f) GDPR to increase the attractiveness, content and functionality of our website. In addition, data processing terms within the meaning of article 28 GDPR have been entered into with Google.

Google Tag Manager

Our website uses the Google Tag Manager, also a service of Google (see also section V.1.) The Tag Manager is used to manage tracking tools and other services, so-called website tags. A tag is an element that is stored in the source code of our website, for example to record predefined usage data. The Google Tag Manager works without the use of cookies. The Google Tag Manager ensures that the usage data required by our partners (as part of the data processing procedures described in this part of the privacy policy) is forwarded to them. Some of the data is processed on a Google server in the USA. In the event that personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield. The legal basis is our legitimate interest within the meaning of article 6(1)(f) GDPR to integrate and manage several tags in an uncomplicated manner on our website. In addition, data processing terms within the meaning of article 28 GDPR have been entered into with Google.

You can find more information about this in Google’s information about the Tag Manager.

YouTube

We include videos from the ‘YouTube’ platform provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.

Google Fonts

External fonts from Google Fonts are used on this website. Google Fonts is also a service of Google (see also section V.1.) The integration of these web fonts is done by a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. This transfers the information to the server which of our webpages you have visited. The IP address of the browser of the end device of the visitor to this website is also stored by Google. The legal basis is article 6(1)(f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in using widely used and legible fonts.

Further information can be found in Google’s data protection information, which can be accessed here: https://policies.google.com/privacy. Further information on Google Fonts can be found here: https://fonts.google.com/. Google also processes your personal data in the USA and participates in the EU-US Privacy Shield.

Facebook pixel, custom audiences and Facebook conversion

Based on our legitimate interest in analysing, optimising and commercially operating our online offer and, for this purpose, the so-called Facebook pixel of the Facebook social network, operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are based in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Republic of Ireland (‘Facebook’), is used within our online offer.

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Framework, and as such offers a guarantee of complying with European data protection legislation (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active).

With the help of the Facebook pixel, it is on the one hand possible for Facebook to identify visitors to our online offer as a target group for showing adverts (so-called Facebook Ads). Accordingly we use the Facebook pixel to show Facebook Ads activated by us only to such Facebook users having shown an interest in our online offer, or with the specific characteristics (e.g. interests in specific themes or products determined by means of the websites visited) that we send to Facebook (so-called custom audiences). With the help of the Facebook pixel, we would like to ensure that our Facebook ads match the user’s potential interest without a damaging effect. The Facebook pixel also allows us to track the effectiveness of Facebook advertisements by showing us whether users have been directed to our website after clicking on a Facebook advertisement (so-called conversion).

Data is processed by Facebook in line with Facebook’s data usage policy. As such, general information in Facebook’s data usage policy about showing Facebook ads: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. You will find specific information and details about Facebook pixels and their function in Facebook’s help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.

You can object to Facebook pixels collecting and using you data for showing Facebook ads. In order to set the type of adverts shown to you within Facebook, you can access the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there about settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are independent of the platform, i.e. they are accepted by all devices, such as desktops or mobile devices.

You can object to the use of cookies serving to gauge the audience and for advertising purposes via the network advertising initiative’s deactivation page (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and also the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

Bing ADs

Data is collected and stored on our website with Bing Ad technology, from which usage profiles are created by using pseudonyms. This involves a service from Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA. This service allows us to track user activity on our website if obtained via Bing ads. If you go via such an advert on our website, a cookie is placed on your computer. A Bing UET tag is integrated on our website. This involves a code via which non-personal cookie-related data is stored about use of the website. This includes, among other things, the stay on the website, what sections of the website of the website are accessed, and via which adverts the user arrived at the website. Information about your identity is not collected.

The information collected is sent to Microsoft servers in the USA and, in principle, stored there for a maximum of 180 days. You can prevent the collection of data relating to your use of the website created by the cookie by disabling the placing of cookies. Under certain circumstances, this can restrict the website’s functionality.

Under certain circumstances, Microsoft can also track your usage behaviour over several of your electronic devices by so-called cross device tracking and, as such, is able to show personalised advertising on or in Microsoft websites and apps. You can disable this behaviour under http://choice.microsoft.com/de-de/opt-out.

You can find more detailed information about Bing’s analysis services on the Bing Ads website ( https://help.bingads.microsoft.com/#apex/3/de/53056/2 ). You can find more detailed information about data protection with Microsoft and Bing in Microsoft’s privacy policy ( https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement).

Online presence in social media

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms to communicate there with active customers, potential clients, and users and inform them about our services. The respective operator’s terms and conditions and data processing policies apply when each network and platform is accessed.

Unless otherwise stated as part of our data protection policy, we process users’ data where they communicate with us within the social networks and platforms, for example by making contributions on our online presences or sending us messages.

Inclusion of third-party services and content

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysing, optimising and commercially operating our online offer in the sense of Article 6 (1, f) GDPR), within our online offer we use content or services offered by third parties to integrate them such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to as ‘content’).

This always requires the third-party provider of this content to note the user’s IP address, as without the IP address it could not send content to the browser. As such, the IP address is required for showing this content. We make every effort to only use such content whose respective provider uses the IP address solely for providing content. Third-party providers can also use so-called pixel tags (hidden graphics, also referred to as pixels) for statistical of marketing purposes. Pixel tags allow information such as visitor traffic to this website’s pages to be evaluated. The pseudonymised information can also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and, among other things, contain technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visiting time, and other details about the usage of our online offer, as well as be combined with sources from other sources.

Use of Facebook Social plugins

Based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in analysing, optimising and commercially operating our online offer in the sense of Article 6 (1, f) GDPR, we use the social network facebook.com operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Republic of Ireland (‘Facebook’). The plugins can represent interactive elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics, or text contributions) and can be identified by one of Facebook’s logos (white ‘F’ on a blue tile, the term ‘Like’, or a ‘thumbs up’ sign) or by adding ‘Facebook social plugin’. The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

If a user access a function of this online offer containing a social plugin, his/her device establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The plugin’s content is sent by Facebook directly to the user’s device and integrated by it into the online offer. This allows user usage profiles to be created from the processed data. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data collected by Facebook with the help of this plugin, and therefore inform the user according to our level of knowledge.

Integrating the plugin informs Facebook that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offer. Where the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his/her Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example they activate the Like button or post a comment, the corresponding information is sent directly from your device to Facebook and stored there. Where a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility of Facebook being made aware of and storing his/her IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymised IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and extent of data collection and the further processing and use of data processing as well as the law and setting options for protecting users’ privacy can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is on Facebook and does not want Facebook to collect data via it about this online offer and link him/her to his/her member data stored with Facebook, he/she must log out of Facebook and delete its cookies before using our online offer. Other settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within Facebook’s profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads or via the US page http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU page http://www.youronlinechoices.com/. The settings are independent of the platform, i.e. they are accepted by all devices, such as desktops or mobile devices.
