Use of Google analytics
Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site (e.g., to measure reach). In connection with the use of Google Analytics, location data (information on the geographical position of a device or person) may be processed in addition to metadata and communication data (e.g. device information and IP addresses). Usage data (e.g. access to websites, clicks, access times), contact data (e.g. email, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. entries in online forms) or inventory data (e.g. names, addresses) may also be processed. Google Analytics has been supplemented by the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” in order to ensure that IP addresses are collected anonymously (IP masking).
On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purposes of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and Internet usage. Your personal data will be stored for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.
Google Signals
We have activated Google Signals in Google Analytics. This special aspect of Google Analytics involves cross-device tracking. If you have permitted personalized ads in your Google account, your data can be analysed across multiple devices. The data is collected and linked to the Google account. This helps us to understand the behaviour of visitors and users and how you interact with our websites and products across multiple devices and sessions to improve our service and marketing measures.
Use of Google Optimise
We use Google Optimize to evaluate the flow of visitors to our online offerings and may include behaviour, interests or demographic information about visitors as pseudonymous values. With the help of these analyses, we can recognize, for example, which online offer, content or functions of our products are most frequently used or re-use. Likewise, we can understand which areas need optimization. In addition to web analytics, we may also use testing procedures, for example, to test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components. This processing includes usage data (e.g. web pages visited, interest in content, access times) and meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses).
The IP addresses of the users are also stored. Generally, in the context of web analysis, A/B testing and optimization, no clear data of the users (such as e-mail addresses or names) are stored, but pseudonyms. This means that we, as well as the providers of the software used, do not know the actual identity of the users, but only the information stored in their profiles for the purposes of the respective procedures.
The purposes of this processing are reaching measurement (e.g. access statistics, recognition of returning visitors); tracking (e.g. interest/behaviour-related profiling, use of cookies); provision of our online offering and user-friendliness. Your personal data will be stored for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law, e.g. for tax and accounting purposes.
Processing of personal data within Google products is based upon your consent. However, in some cases the use of a Google product may also form part of our (pre)contractual services, or our interest in providing our users with efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services and the improvement of our service.
Possibility of revocation of consent and removal from Google
