4. data collection on our website

Cookies

The Internet pages partly use so-called cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit us.

You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies, which are necessary for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions you require (e.g. shopping basket function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of his services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus exclusively based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal notification by e-mail to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent for storage or the purpose for which the data was stored no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.

5. analysis tools and advertising

Google Ads

The website operator uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads allows advertisements to be displayed in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when a user enters or has entered specific search terms into Google (keyword targeting). In addition, targeted ads can be displayed based on user data available to Google (e.g., location data and interests) (audience targeting). As a website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively by, for example, analyzing which search terms led to the display of our ads and which and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.
Use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time.
Data transfers to the U.S. are based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Google Ads Remarketing

The website operator uses the features of Google Ads Remarketing. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Ads Remarketing allows us to assign individuals who use or interact with our online offerings to specific target groups in order to subsequently display interest-based ads to them on the Google Display Network (remarketing or retargeting).
In addition, the advertising target groups created with Google Ads Remarketing can be linked to Google’s cross-device features. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages—which have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., a PC)—can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., a cell phone or tablet).
If you have a Google account, you can opt out of this form of personalized advertising via the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
Use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time.
Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.

Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a web advertising service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google AdSense uses so-called “DoubleClick DART cookies” (“cookies”), which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. In addition, Google AdSense also uses so-called “web beacons” (small, invisible graphics) to collect information; these allow simple actions, such as visitor traffic on the website, to be recorded, collected, and analyzed. The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon (including your IP address) regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. Google uses the information obtained in this way to analyze your usage behavior with regard to AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google AdSense is not combined with other Google data. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties if required by law and/or if third parties process this data on Google’s behalf. You can permanently opt out of the use of cookies for ad preferences by adjusting your browser settings accordingly or by downloading and installing theavailable browser plug-in. Please note that certain features of this website may not be available or may be limited if you have opted out of the use of cookies.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a service that allows us to integrate and manage tracking and analytics tools, as well as other technologies, on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform independent analyses. It is used solely to manage and deploy the tools integrated through it.
However, Google Tag Manager collects your IP address, which may also be transferred to the parent company, Google LLC, in the United States.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TDDDG, insofar as the integration involves the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting). You may revoke your consent at any time.

Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Conversion Tracking allows Google and us to determine whether a user has performed certain actions and how the customer has used our website. For example, we can analyze which buttons on our website are clicked and how often, as well as which products were viewed or purchased particularly frequently. This information is used to compile statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ads and what actions they took. We do not receive any information that would allow us to personally identify the user. Google itself uses cookies or similar recognition technologies for identification purposes.
Use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time.

This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred 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 the website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic features" function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising by Google as well as from visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be attributed to any specific person. You can disable this feature at any time by changing the ad settings in your Google Account, or generally prohibit Google Analytics from collecting your information as described in the "Opting out of data collection" section.

Matomo

1. Scope of Data Processing
We use the open-source software tool Matomo on our website to analyze our users’ browsing behavior. When individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:

  • 3 bytes of the IP address of the user's system
  • the website that was accessed
  • the website from which the user accessed the current website (referrer)
  • the subpages accessed from the website being visited
  • the amount of time spent on the website
  • the frequency with which the website is visited
  • The software runs exclusively on our website’s servers. This data is stored only there. The data is not shared with third parties. The software is configured so that IP addresses are not stored in full; instead, the last byte of the IP address is masked (e.g., 192.168.100.xxx). This prevents the truncated IP address from being linked to the user’s computer.

2. Legal Basis
The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing
Processing this personal data enables us to analyze our users’ browsing behavior. By evaluating the data collected, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, we adequately take into account users’ interest in the protection of their personal data.

4. Option to Object and Opt Out
We offer our users the option to opt out of the analytics process on our website. To do so, you must follow the corresponding link. This will set a cookie on your system that signals our system not to store the user’s data. If you delete the corresponding cookie from your system in the meantime, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.
For more information on the privacy settings of the Matomo software, please visit the following link: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/.

You have the option to prevent the actions you take here from being analyzed and tracked. This will protect your privacy, but it will also prevent the site owner from learning from your actions and improving the user experience for you and other users.
