The responsible service provider in the EU is [Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

 For analyzing the use of our Website, cookies are stored on your computer (please refer to section ‎4 for more information in this regard).  

IP address anonymization is enabled by default when using Google Analytics on our Website. This means your IP address will be shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, before any storage or processing takes place. Only in exceptional cases the whole IP address will first be transferred to a server in the United States and truncated there.  

We use the “User ID” feature when using Google Analytics on our Website. The User ID feature allows us to assign a unique, persistent ID to one or more user sessions (and user activities within sessions) and analyse your behaviour across different devices.  

We use the “Google Signals” feature when using Google Analytics on our Website. If you have activated personalized ads (e.g., interests and demographics), Google will collect additional information about you and ads can be delivered to you in the course of cross-device re-marketing campaigns.  

When using our Website, the following personal data will be collected:  

  • the pages you call up, your “click behavior“

  • your approximate location (region) 
  • your IP address (in abbreviated form) 
  • technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g., language settings, screen resolution) 
  • your internet provider

More information about the contractual arrangements for the processing of personal data with Google and the implemented safeguards can be found at privacy.google.com/businesses/processorterms and privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms
