3. Visiting the Website
When you visit our website, certain technical information is automatically collected. This may include your IP address, device identifier, browser characteristics, operating system details, language settings, referring URLs, visit duration, and pages viewed.
We do not use this information to draw conclusions about you personally. It is required to (i) deliver our website content correctly to you and (ii) provide necessary information to law enforcement authorities in the event of a cyber attack.
Any further statistical analysis of this data is performed only after any personally identifiable information has been removed.
Our legal basis for this processing is our legitimate interest in operating a website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Regarding providing data to law enforcement, the processing is based on our legal obligation to do so in the event of an attack (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).
This data is shared only with our hosting service provider, who hosts the website on our behalf. We do not intend to transfer this data to countries outside the European Economic Area (EEA).
4. Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device via your internet browser.
We use cookies based on our legitimate interest in ensuring website functionality, maintaining session consistency, and performing statistical analyses (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
The recipients of this data are our web administrator, our hosting provider, and external programmers acting on our behalf. We do not share personal data from cookies with other recipients.
You can prevent the setting of cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of your internet browser, thereby permanently denying the use of cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies can be deleted at any time via your browser or other software programs. If you deactivate cookies, however, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
We do not intend to transfer this data to countries outside the EEA.
5. Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").
We use the extension "_gat._anonymizeIp". This ensures your IP address is truncated and anonymized by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the US.
The purpose is our legitimate interest in analyzing the traffic on our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Google uses the collected data on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on your computer. With each visit to a page on our site, your browser automatically submits data to Google for the purpose of online analysis.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. You can also download and install the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Preventing Google Analytics will not affect the usability of our website.
Further information and Google's applicable privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy and https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/us/.
We do not store any personal data through Google Analytics, as it is anonymized by Google.
6. Google Ads (Conversion Tracking)
We use the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within this framework, conversion tracking (visitor action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google.
If you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain personal data, and are not used for personal identification.
The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. We learn the total number of users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can personally identify users.
The processing is based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising and analyzing the effect and efficiency of this advertising (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. You can also deactivate personalized advertising from Google in your Google Ads settings: https://adssettings.google.com/. Furthermore, you can disable third-party cookies via the Network Advertising Initiative's opt-out page: https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/.
7. YouTube Player
We integrate components of YouTube, a service of Google LLC, on our website. The purpose is our legitimate interest in being able to present videos to you on our site (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
When you view a page with an embedded YouTube player, your browser connects to YouTube's servers. If you are logged into your YouTube (Google) account at the same time, YouTube can assign your visit to our website to your user account.
If you do not want this assignment to occur, please log out of your YouTube account before visiting our site. You can also configure your browser to block these connections; our site will remain usable, but without the video functionality.
We do not store any personal data through the YouTube integration. YouTube's privacy policy is available at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
8. Facebook Pixel
Our website uses "Facebook Pixel", a service of Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA ("Facebook").
Facebook Pixel uses cookies to help us show our Facebook ads ("Facebook Ads") only to users who have visited our website or shown interest in our products. It also allows us to track conversions from Facebook Ads.
The data collected is anonymous to us but may be linked to your Facebook account by Facebook. We use Facebook Pixel for marketing and optimization purposes based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
You can object to the collection by Facebook Pixel and use of your data for displaying Facebook Ads. Adjust your ad preferences on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. You can also opt-out through the sites listed in section 8 of the original policy.
Facebook is certified under the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield framework (though note this is under evaluation; reliance should be transitioned to Standard Contractual Clauses).
