Processing of personal data when using Google Analytics
On our website, we use the Google Analytics analytics tool of Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google) to tailor the design and optimisation of our website offers.
As part of the contract on data processing we have with Google, Google uses the information we collect to compile an evaluation of the use and activity on our website.
For this purpose, so-called tracking cookies are stored on your device. The information about your website usage generated by these cookies is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The transferred information will then be used on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website, and to provide us with further services for the purposes of market research and customisation of this website.
Google also uses this information to compile reports on our online activities and to provide us with services related to the use of this online offering and internet usage. We also use Google Analytics to display advertisements placed within Google and its affiliate advertising services only to users who showed an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (such as interest in certain products and services based on the websites visited by the user) which we transmit to Google (so-called Google Audiences). With the help of the Google Audiences application that we incorporated into our website, we want to ensure that our ads are in line with the potential interest of users of our website and are not annoying.
On our website, an anonymisation code was added to Google Analytics to ensure that IP addresses are recorded only anonymously and to exclude a direct personal reference (so-called IP masking).
Your IP address will therefore be shortened (IP-Masking) and transferred to and saved in the US only in anonymised form when you submit your IP address within the European Union member states or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the US and truncated there.
The data collected from you will therefore not be used to identify you personally and will not be collated with personally identifiable information about you.
You have the following options for stopping the analysis carried out by Google Analytics:
You can prevent Google from tracking the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of this data by Google at any time in the future, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in. http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
The web analysis will remain disabled until the browser plug-in is disabled or erased. The browser plug-in must be set separately for each browser and device. That is, if you do not want the web analysis to be carried out on other devices or different browsers that the ones you use, you must add the browser plug-in on all browsers and devices that you use to visit our website.
We also integrated Google Analytics on our website in such a way that you can directly prevent the processing of your user data by Google Analytics from your device via a so-called opt-out cookie with future effect. If you activate the following button, an opt-out cookie is set directly for your device, which prevents the analysis performed by Google: Disable Google Analytics
If you want to disable analysis for other devices that you use, you must re-enable the opt-out cookie for each of these devices.
For details on the purpose and scope of the data processing, collection and use of Google Analytics, please refer to the Google Terms of Service and Privacy Notice at: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/ and GoogleAnalytics at:

https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework
The data processed by Google Analytics will be automatically deleted after 26 months.
The provision of personal data to Google is not required by law or by contract. But without the described processing of the data, an analysis and evaluation of the use of our website and optimisation of the services offered by us is not possible. Our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data according to Art. 6 para. 1, f GDPR lies in the purposes of data processing.
