  1. Google Analytics 1 To permit design of the website in keeping with user needs and optimize it continuously, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as “Google”).

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the site previously visited), host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of the server enquiry, is transferred to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. The information is used to analyze use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide other services in connection with use of the website and the internet for the purposes of market research and suitable design of the internet sites. In some cases such information is communicated to third parties if this is required by law, or to the extent that third parties have been commissioned to process the data. On no account will your IP address be merged with other data collected by Google. The IP addresses are anonymized so that no assignment to specific persons is possible (IP masking).You can prevent the installation of cookies by applying the relevant setting in your browser software.

To permit this, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer (see Section 4) if you have reached our website through a Google advertisement.These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to permit personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the website of the AdWords customer and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can see that the user has clicked the advertisement and been directed to this page.Each AdWords customer is issued with a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be traced via the websites of AdWords customers. The information acquired with the aid of conversion cookies is used to draw up conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have decided to use conversion tracking. The AdWords customers are informed of the total number of users who have clicked the advertisement and been directed to a site with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be identified personally.If you do not wish to take part in the tracking system, you can reject the cookie required for this too – for instance with the browser setting that deactivates the installation of cookies in general.
