Google Universal Analytics

We use "Google Universal Analytics" on our website, a service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

We use Google Universal Analytics to record and statistically analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google Universal Analytics collects data about which website you came to our website from (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website you accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed and what interactions you made. To collect and store this data, Google Analytics places a cookie on the device you are using (see the term above under the heading Cookies). The cookie is used to collect the pages you visit, including your IP address, and transfer them to Google servers in the USA. However, data processing is also possible without setting cookies if Google Universal Analytics has been implemented on the website. We use the AnonymizeIP function to anonymize your IP address so that it is shortened and can no longer be associated with your visit to our website.

Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties. We have concluded an order processing contract with Google. According to this contract, Google is entitled and obliged to evaluate the information obtained for us and to compile statistical reports for us on the type and scope of website use. These statistics enable us to constantly improve our offer, carry out a cost-benefit analysis of our Internet marketing and make our Internet presence more interesting and user-friendly for you as a user.

Legal basis: We obtain your consent to the use of this service via a so-called opt-in. This means that the cookie, tracking pixel or similar process used to process your personal data via this service will only be activated once you have given your consent. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you are in Germany and have not yet reached the age of 16 (in Austria and Switzerland the age of 14), you are not yet in a position to give effective consent under data protection law according to the assessment of the respective national legislator. We regard your opt-in as your reasonable expectation with regard to the use of cookies. In this case, we refer to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR as the legal basis. In this case, our legitimate interests lie in the user-friendly design of our online offering and our commercial interest in the collection, storage and analysis of the data material.
