Google Analytics
If you have consented, we use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website. The data obtained from this are used to optimize our website.
The provider of this service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
During your visit to the website, the following data, among others, are recorded:
- Pages accessed,
- Your behavior on the pages (for example, time spent on the page, clicks, scrolling behavior),
- Your approximate location (country and city),
- Your IP address (in shortened form, so that no direct assignment is possible),
- Technical information such as browser, Internet provider, terminal device, and screen resolution,
- Source of origin of your visit (i. e., via which website or advertising medium you came to our website).
These data are transferred to Google servers in the USA. We would like to point out that the same level of data protection cannot be guaranteed in the USA as within the EU.
No personal data such as name, address, or contact details are ever transferred to Google Analytics.
Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID that can be used to recognize you on future website visits.
The recorded data are stored together with the randomly generated user ID, which enables the evaluation of pseudonymous user profiles. These user-related data are automatically deleted after 14 months. Other data remain stored in aggregated form indefinitely.
If you do not agree with the collection, you can prevent it with the one-time installation of the Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on.

If you have consented, we use Google Ads to record your usage behavior on our website (tracking). Google Ads is Google's online advertising program. The technology is used to generate and share ads with a target audience. This tool also enables the tracking of page views, clicks and other actions like submitting contact forms.
If you do not agree with the collection, you can prevent it with the one-time installation of the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics.
