The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g., name, address, or email addresses) is collected on our site, this is always done on a voluntary basis, where possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., when communicating via email) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

This data cannot be linked to specific individuals. This data will not be combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data subsequently if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies." These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA.
IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. 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 other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Remarketing
Our websites use the features of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
This feature allows you to link advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to the cross-device features of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages, tailored to you based on your previous usage and browsing behavior on one device (e.g., mobile phone), can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g., tablet or PC).
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. This allows the same personalized advertising messages to be displayed on any device where you sign in with your Google account.
To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb .
The aggregation of collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can grant or withdraw at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes that are not aggregated in your Google account (e.g., because you do not have a Google account or have objected to aggregation), the data collection is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
Further information and the data protection regulations can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads .

Google Ads and Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising program of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
We use conversion tracking as part of Google Ads. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If you visit certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page.
Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. These cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers see 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 personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can easily disable the Google conversion tracking cookie in your browser's user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.
