Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that facilitate analysis of your use of the website. As a rule, the information concerning your use of this website produced by the cookie is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. However, as a result of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the complete IP address will be communicated to a Google Server in the USA and will be shortened there.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and for enhancing the use of the website and the use of the services related to internet use for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of the Google Analytics process will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website. You may also prevent Google from processing this data generated by the cookie and on your usage of the website (incl. your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin through the following

We refer in particular to the fact that Google Analytics extended the “gat._anonymizeIp();” code in order to provide for the anonymised collection of IP addresses, or so-called “IP-Masking”. We are using this code to realise this anonymisation.
You may avoid Google Analytics collection by clicking on the following link. An opt-out-cookie is set that blocks future collection of your data when visiting this website: Google Analytics deactivate.
Google Analytics are also used on this website for evaluating data from AdWords and the double-click cookie for statistical purposes. Should you not wish to do so, you may deactivate it on the Ads Preferences Manager https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?
Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager enables website tags to be managed via an interface. It implements tags only, but no cookies are set and no Personal Data is collected. Google Tag Manager may trigger other tags that may collect data where required, whereas we do not access this data via Google Tag Manager. Please find further information about Google Tag Manager at the following link: https://www.google.co.uk/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/
Google Ads Conversion
By using Google Ads Conversion, we may place ads regarding our services on external websites. By doing so, we can determine in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns how successful the individual advertising measures are. The above-mentioned targeting measure is carried out based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit f) GDPR, stating a legitimate interest. Our interest is targeted advertising, so you receive adverts that may be of interest to you.
The advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called “Ad Servers”. For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the insertion of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords stores a cookie on your device. These cookies are not intended to identify you individually and usually expire after 30 days. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (mark that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.
As we have no influence on the extent and the further use of the data which are raised using this tool by Google please find further information on https://policies.google.com/privacy
You can disable the use of cookies by Google by accessing the page for deactivating Google advertising. You can also disable conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com”. However, we should point out that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website thus.
Google Data Studio
We use the visualization tool Google Data Studio for visualizing our web analysis data. The visualization is done in so-called “dashboards”. No cookies are set, and no personal data is collected. The web tool Google Data Studio is started via the web and requires no local application.
