5 Analysis Tools

Tracking tools: The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. With the tracking measures we use, we want to ensure that our website is designed according to requirements and continuously optimized. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to record the use of our website statistically and evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These interests are to be regarded as justified in the sense of the aforementioned regulation. The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be taken from the corresponding tracking tools.

5.1 Google Analytics

For the purpose of designing our pages to meet your needs and continuously optimizing them, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/ intl/en/about (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see section 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

·             Referrer URL (the previously visited page),

·             Host name of the accessing computer (IP address),

The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide further services connected with the use of the website and the Internet for the purposes of market research and the design of these Internet pages in line with requirements. This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other data from Google. The IP addresses are made anonymous, so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).

5.2 Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

In order to statistically record the use of our website and to optimize our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. Google Adwords sets a cookie (see point 4) on your computer, if you have reached our website via a Google display.

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords client’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the client can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page.

Each Adwords client receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked through the websites of Adwords clients. The information collected by the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords clients who have opted for conversion tracking. The Adwords customers will know the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, for example, to prevent cookies from being set automatically. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”. Google’s privacy policy for conversion tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).

6 Social Media Plug-ins

We do not use social plug-ins from the social networks Facebook, Twitter, Instagram on our website.

However, our website uses plug-ins from the YouTube website. The website is operated by YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

We use YouTube in advanced privacy mode. According to YouTube this mode has the effect that YouTube does not store any information about visitors of this site before they watch the video. However, the extended data protection mode does not necessarily exclude the transfer of data to YouTube partners. Thus, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you are watching a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your surfing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your device after starting a video. These cookies enable YouTube to obtain information about visitors to our website. This information is used, among other things, to gather video statistics, improve the user experience and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Once a YouTube video is launched, it may trigger other data processing operations over which we have no control.

YouTube is used in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their data protection declaration at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
