Some of our websites use Google Analytics in order to analyse and optimise their use.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service offered by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses what are referred to as “cookies”, text files that are saved on your computer and that allow for an analysis of the use of the website by you. Information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened 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 legal basis for the processing of data using Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google.
You may refuse the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser.

We use Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp ()".
This truncates IP addresses (IP masking). As a result, addresses are
anonymised and cannot be used to personally identify individuals. Google
complies with the EU-US Privacy Shield Framework,
https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
As a result, an adequate level of data protection is ensured, even in
exceptional cases where Google transfers personal data to the United States.

Google Adwords Conversion-Tracking
We use Google Adwords to display advertising on Google's and other third party websites.
Google Adwords Conversion-Tracking is a web analysis service of Google Ireland Ltd, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). With the conversion tracking we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. Our purpose is to show you advertisements that are of interest to you and to make our website more interesting for you. The advertising is delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". We use cookies to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the insertion of ads or clicks by users. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Adwords stores a cookie on your PC. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (mark that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values.
These cookies enable Google to recognize your Internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Adwords customer's website and the cookie stored on your computer has not expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Adwords customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be traced via the website of Adwords customers. We do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. On the basis of these evaluations we can recognize which of the used advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google servers. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data by Google and inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating AdWords Conversion-Tracking Google receives the information that you have called the corresponding part of our Internet presence or clicked an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also 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 Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin
