7. Google Analytics
To tailor the design of our website to user needs and to continuously optimize it, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. https://www.google.com/intl/en/about/ (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as "Google"). In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see section 5) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as
• Browser type/version,
• Operating system in use,
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
• Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address),
• Time of the server request,
can be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information is used to evaluate website usage, compile reports on website activities, and provide additional services related to website and internet usage, particularly for market research and user-oriented website design. This information may also be transmitted to third parties if required by law or if third parties process the data on Google's behalf. Google has stated that your IP address will not be merged with other Google data under any circumstances.
We use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization ("anonymizeIp()"). This means that Google truncates users' IP addresses within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, ensuring that no personal reference can be made. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
With the implementation of the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and the certification of Google LLC (USA), an adequate level of data protection is assured for data processing by Google in the USA.
The processing of your personal data by Google Analytics, including the transfer of your data to the USA, only takes place if you have explicitly consented to this through the cookie banner in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.
You can further prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing a browser add-on (Download-Seite für das Browser-Add-on zur Deaktivierung von Google Analytics). Alternatively, for browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics by clicking on https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. An opt-out cookie is set which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid for this browser and this website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.
