USE OF EXTERNAL TOOLS ON OUR WEBSITE

Google Analytics

The Company has integrated the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function) on this Website.

Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the gathering, collection, and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, web analytics services collect data about the websites a user has visited before visiting the current website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website are accessed and how often and for how long a subpage is viewed. Such services are mainly used to optimize a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google might transfer the Personal Data collected via this technical procedure to third parties.

Because IP anonymization is activated on our Website, your IP address will be shortened by Google. On Our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate Your use of the Website, compile reports on Website activity and to provide further services related to the Website and internet use to Us. The IP address transferred through your browser to Google Analytics will not be combined with other data held by Google.

In addition, this Website uses the Analytics feature User ID to track interaction data. This User ID will be additionally anonymized and encrypted and will not be linked with other data.

If You want to disable cookie storage for Google, you can do so via Your browser settings.

In addition, you may prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to Your use of the Website (including your IP address) by Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about Website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics.

Further information and Google‘s applicable privacy regulations can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/. The following link provides a further explanation of Google Analytics https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/.

Our Website also uses Google Analytics performance reports relating to demographics and interests and reports on Google Display Network impressions. You can disable Google Analytics for display advertising and customize the ads on the Google Display Network by visiting the ad settings at this link: https://www.google.com/ads/preferences?continue=aHR0cHM6Ly9hZHNzZXR0aW5ncy5nb29nbGUuY29tL2Fub255bW91cw%3D%3D.

Facebook Tracking Pixel

Our Service uses Facebook's "tracking pixel." This pixel can be used to track the behavior of users who have been redirected to Our Website by clicking on a Facebook and / or Instagram ad. This allows Us to record the effectiveness of Facebook and Instagram ads for statistical and market research purposes and, if necessary, to take optimization measures. The tracking of users who have landed on our Website after clicking on one of our Facebook and Instagram ads can remain active up to 180 days.

The data collected in this way is anonymous for us, i.e., we do not see the Personal Data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, which may connect this data to a user’s Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes in accordance with its privacy policy.

If You want to disable cookie storage for Facebook, you can do so via Your browser settings.

LINKS TO OTHER WEBSITES

Our Service may contain links to other websites that are not operated by Us. If You click on a third-party link, You will be directed to that third party's site. We strongly advise You to review the Privacy Policy of every site You visit.
