Analytics <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

Use of Google Analytics<\/strong>
\nWe use the Google Analytics web analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; \u201cGoogle\u201d) on our website. If your habitual residence is in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the Google-affiliated company responsible for processing your data and complying with applicable data protection laws.
\nData is processed for the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors and for marketing and advertising purposes. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use the information obtained to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website and internet use to the website operator. The following information may be collected, among other things: IP address, date and time of page access, click path, information about the browser and device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (the website through which you reached our website), location data and purchasing activity. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
\nGoogle Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, browser web storage and tracking pixels that enable analysis of your use of the website. The information generated about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The European Commission has not adopted an adequacy decision for the USA. Data transfers are based, among other things, on standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\/frameworks<\/a>. Both Google and US government authorities have access to your data. Google may link your data with other data, such as your search history, personal accounts, usage data from other devices and any other data Google holds about you.
\nIP anonymisation is enabled on this website. This means Google truncates your IP address beforehand within Member States of the European Union or other countries that are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
\nThe use of cookies or comparable technologies is based on Section 15(3) sentence 1 TMG. Processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in designing the website according to needs and in a targeted manner. You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object at any time to this processing of personal data concerning you.<\/strong><\/em>
\nYou can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by Google Analytics relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout?hl=de<\/a>
\nTo prevent Google Analytics from collecting and storing data across devices, you can set an opt-out cookie. Opt-out cookies prevent your data from being collected on future visits to this website. You must opt out on all systems and devices you use for this to be fully effective. If you delete the opt-out cookie, requests will be sent to Google again. Clicking here sets the opt-out cookie: <\/a>Disable Google Analytics.

Google Ireland Limited is therefore the Google-affiliated company responsible for processing your data and complying with applicable data protection laws. <\/span>The check is used to distinguish input made by a human from automated machine processing. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. In addition, your IP address and, where applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service are transmitted to Google. Google processes this data within the European Union and may also transfer it to the USA. The European Commission has not adopted an adequacy decision for the USA. Data transfers are based, among other things, on standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\/frameworks<\/a>.<\/span><\/div>\n

Use of Google invisible reCAPTCHA<\/strong>
\nWe use the invisible reCAPTCHA service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; \u201cGoogle\u201d) on our website.

In addition, your IP address and, where applicable, other data required by Google for the invisible reCAPTCHA service are transmitted to Google.
\nGoogle processes this data within the European Union and may also transfer it to the USA. The European Commission has not adopted an adequacy decision for the USA. Data transfers are based, among other things, on standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, available at: https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\/frameworks<\/a>.
