1. GOOGLE ANALYTICS 360

Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountainview, CA 94043 USA (“Google”) is used on this website. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files, which are stored on their computer, and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by these cookies, for example time, place, and frequency of your use of this website, are as a rule transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. In using Google Analytics, it is not excluded that the cookies set by Google Analytics can also record additional personal data in addition to the IP address. We point out to you that Google possibly will transmit this information to third parties, if this is legally stipulated or insofar as third parties process these data on behalf of Google.
The information generated by cookies is used by Google on behalf of the operator of this website in order to evaluate your use of the website, in order to compile reports concerning the website activities, and to furnish the website operator with further data services connected with the website use and the internet use. The IP address transmitted from your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not transmitted by Google, according to Google’s own information, along with the other data from Google.
You can generally block storage of cookies by a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we inform you that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in their full scope.
It is not excluded that the cookies set by Google Analytics can record additional personal data in addition to the IP address. In order to prevent information concerning your use of the website from being recorded by Google Analytics and transmitted to Google Analytics, you can download and install a plug-in for your browser under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
This plug-in prevents information concerning your visit to the website from being transmitted to Google Analytics. Another analysis is not prevented by this plug-in.


Please note that the opt-out cookie is valid only for this browser and only for this domain. If you erase the cookies in this browser, the opt-out cookie also is erased. Furthermore, in order to prevent the recording by Google Analytics, you must click on the link again. The use of the opt-out cookie is also possible as an alternative to the above plug-in in the case of using the browser on your computer.
In order to provide the best possible protection of your personal data, Google Analytics was expanded on this website by the code “anonymizeIP”. This code causes the last 8 bits of the IP address to be erased and thus your IP address is recorded anonymised (so-called IP masking). In this way, your IP address is basically shortened and thus anonymised by Google already before the transmission within member states of the European Union or in other contracting countries of the Agreement concerning the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address transmitted to a server by Google in the USA and shortened there.

2. GOOGLE ADWORDS

We use the “Google AdWords” technology and, in this case, especially the conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you click on a display placed by Google, a cookie for the conversion tracking is stored on your PC. The cookies have a validity of 30 days and do not serve for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website, and if the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can detect that you have clicked on a specific display and were passed on to this page. In each case, Google AdWords customers obtain another cookie. Thus, it is not possible to track cookies via the websites of AdWords customers.
The data obtained by means of the conversion cookie serve for creating conversion statistics for AdWords customers that use the conversion tracking. In this way the customers obtain the number of users that have clicked on their display and thereupon were passed on to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. Of course, they obtain no information, with which the user can be personally identified.
If you do not want to participate in the conversion tracking, you can prevent this by a corresponding setting in your browser, e.g. in the form that an installation of cookies is generally prevented. You can also deactivate cookies for the conversion tracking by setting your browser so that only cookies from the web address “googleadcervices.com” are blocked.

Google Remarketing places displays for users that have already visited out web pages and online services and have been interested in a specific offer. Within the Google advertising network, it is possible to place targeted and interest-based advertising displays on our page in this way. Google Remarketing uses cookies for this analysis. In this way our visitors can be recognised again as soon as they call up web pages within the Google advertising network. Within the Google advertising network, it is possible to place targeted and interest-based advertising displays that are based on the web pages of the Google advertising network (which also use Google’s remarketing function) previously visited by the visitor.
