The information generated by the use of cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. 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 the website operator with further services associated with website and Internet use.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
(3) You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on .
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "anonymizeIp()". As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that a personal relationship can be ruled out. As far as the data collected about you is personal, it will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
(5) For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework .

3. Use of Google reCAPTCHA

In order to ensure sufficient data security when submitting forms, we use the reCAPTCHA service of Google Inc. on our websites in certain cases. This serves primarily to distinguish whether the input is made by a natural person or abused by machine and automated processing. The service includes the sending of the IP address and possibly other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. The deviating data protection provisions of Google Inc. apply here. Google Recaptcha uses Google Fonts, also a service of Google LLC. The processing of personal data is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DS-GVO. We would like to point out that Google LLC may transfer personal data in the form of your IP address to the USA, a country with a lower level of data protection than in the EU. However, we have taken reasonable steps to ensure an adequate level of data protection by entering into an EU standard contractual clause with Google LLC. For more information about the privacy policies of Google Inc. please visit the Google Privacy Notice.

4. Use of Google Adwords Conversion / Remarketing

(1) We use the offer of Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns how successful the individual advertising measures are. We are interested in showing you advertisements that are of interest to you, to increase the attractiveness of our website for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.
(2) These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called "Ad Servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the insertion of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords stores a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (mark that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.
(3) These cookies enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Adwords customer's website and the cookie stored on their computer has not expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Adwords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be traced via the websites of Adwords customers. We do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. On the basis of these evaluations we can recognize which of the used advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.
(4) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and the further use of the data which are raised by the use of this tool by Google and inform you therefore according to our knowledge: By the integration of AdWords conversion Google receives the information that you called the appropriate part of our Internet appearance or clicked an announcement of us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.
(5) You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways:
a) by adjusting your browser software accordingly, in particular the suppression of third party cookies means that you will not receive any ads from third party providers,
b) by disabling cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the „https://www.google.com/ads/ “ domain, Google Ads Settings , which will be deleted when you delete your cookies,
c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of the providers that are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign via DAA's WebChoices Tool , this setting being deleted if you delete your cookies,
d) by permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome using Ads Settings Browser Plugin . Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offer in full.
(6) Further information on data protection at Google can be found here: Google Privacy Policy and Google Site Stats . Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) . Google has submitted to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework .
