Use of Google Analytics
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google LLC on our website. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google").
If you have your habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the person responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company affiliated with Google, which is responsible for the processing of your data and compliance with the applicable data protection laws.
The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Google Analytics uses cookies, which enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymization is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases.
Google has certified itself under the US-EU data protection agreement “Privacy Shield” and is thus obliged to comply with European data protection guidelines.
You can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de].

Use of Google Ads conversion tracking
We use the online advertising program “Google Ads” on our website and, in this context, conversion tracking (evaluation of visits). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).
If you have your habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the person responsible for your data.

If you click on an advertisement placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie will be placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that there is no way that cookies can be tracked via the websites of Ads customers.
The information that is obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. Here we find out the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
Your data may be transmitted to the USA. Google has certified itself according to the US-EU data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and is thus obliged to comply with the European data protection guidelines.
You can deactivate personalized advertising for you in the advertising settings on Google. Instructions can be found at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de.
Alternatively, you can prevent the use of cookies by third parties by calling up the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the additional information on opt-out mentioned there.
You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

This will tell the Facebook server which of our pages you have visited. Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. If you visit the social network Facebook, you will then be shown personalized, interest-based Facebook ads.

Use of Instagram plug-ins
This website uses plug-ins from the Instagram online service operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram").
If you call up pages on our website with such a plug-in, a connection to the Instagram servers is established and the plug-in is displayed on the page by a message to your browser. This sends both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited to the Instagram server.
If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram will assign this information to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. clicking the “Instagram” button), this information is also assigned to your Instagram account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in.
If you do not want Instagram to directly assign the information collected to your Instagram account, you must either log out of Instagram before visiting our website or by using an add-on, e.g. the script blocker "NoScript" (noscript. net), block the Instagram plug-in from loading on our website for your browser

Your data may also be transmitted to the USA. Google has certified itself under the US-EU data protection agreement “Privacy Shield” and is thus obliged to comply with European data protection guidelines.
The processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR from the legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of our website.
