Information on the Use of Google Analytics as per Data Privacy Regulations

Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors.
In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page impressions, length of stay, operating systems used and the origin of the user. This data may be summarized by Google in a profile which is assigned to the respective user or his terminal device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google on the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the analysis of user behaviour in order to optimise both his website and his advertising. If a corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO; the consent can be revoked at any time.

Data transmission to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA 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 the website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the "demographic characteristics" feature of Google Analytics to help the website visitors find appropriate ads within the Google advertising network. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data is derived from Google's interest-based advertising and from third-party visitor data. This data cannot be associated with any particular person. You can disable this feature at any time in the ad settings in your Google Account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the "Opting out of data collection" section.

Google Analytics e-commerce tracking

This website uses the "e-commerce tracking" feature of Google Analytics. With the help of e-commerce tracking, the website operator can analyze the purchasing behavior of website visitors to improve his online marketing campaigns.
