Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to analyse and improve the use of our website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will abbreviate your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated 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 related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com
/dlpage/gaoptout? hl=en
We use Google Analytics with the “anonymizeIp ()” extension. This shortens the IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Reference to specific persons can thus be ruled out. Google participates in the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. This means that there is an appropriate level of data protection even in exceptional cases in which Google transfers personal data to the USA. The legal basis for processing data using Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html Online advertising privacy policy
We deliver online campaigns for advertising customers via technical systems from technology service providers (so-called “ad servers”): The service providers' ad servers use browser cookies and mobile identifiers to mark and recognize end devices (web browsers or mobile apps).
Browser cookies
These are small text files or simple entries in a database that your browser stores. The data in the cookies can only be read out again by the system that wrote them. To identify end devices when delivering advertising, the cookies set by the ad servers contain a pseudonymous, unique sequence number (identifier). When you delete a cookie, the identifier on the device is also irrevocably deleted. The cookies used by the systems do not cause any damage to your device (e.g. computer/tablet); in particular, they do not contain any viruses. You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser accordingly; in this case, you may no longer be able to use all functions of the platform or the website you are visiting. The same applies to deleting stored cookies.
Mobile identifier
The platform can also be used to deliver advertising in mobile applications (apps). For this purpose, the apps can use a so-called mobile identifier, which is provided by the operating system of your device (Apple iOS or Google Android). This identifier is used in the same way as a cookie that contains a pseudonymous sequence number. The advertising service providers' systems cannot change or delete the identifier themselves. However, you can prevent the use of the identifier by setting the app or in your operating system accordingly; in this case, you may no longer be able to use all functions of the app or system. Depending on the app and operating system, the same applies to changing or deleting the identifier. For details, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective app and your system. The systems of advertising service providers are used as part of online campaigns for the following purposes, the legal basis being Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR:
Campaign management on advertising websites
Control and measure the number of advertisements displayed in absolute terms and per device (web browser or mobile app), control the sequence of individual advertising media that are displayed on a device. Measurement of responses to advertising media (clicks on or mouse movements over advertising media). Measuring on which individual page of an advertising marketer an ad is displayed. Measurement of whether an advertisement was loaded visibly on the screen of a terminal device. Pseudonymous browser cookies or mobile identifiers are used to identify the end devices.
Management of user-based online advertising (so-called targeting)
On our behalf, the service providers collect and process pseudonymously your usage behavior on advertisers' websites and on advertising websites. This data is used to retarget devices with targeted advertising in accordance with your usage behavior. The pseudonymous identifiers can also be assigned to advertising categories (e.g. presumed age between 18 and 35 years or interest in cars). However, both individually and together, these categories always apply to a larger range of devices. This means that we or the service providers cannot identify you as a user as a person either via the advertising ID or via the categories assigned to the ID.
Campaign impact tracking on advertisers' websites
Tracking relates contacts that users have with advertisements on other websites (visual contacts and clicks on advertising banners) to subsequent interactions on the advertiser's websites. The data collected is statistically evaluated in order to be able to optimize the performance of media campaigns. Privacy policy for Facebook and Instagram fan pages
