Google Analytics
In our website, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, hereinafter referred to as "Google." The Google Analytics service is used to analyse the usage behaviour of our website. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in analysing, optimizing, and economically operating our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time, or frequency of visits to our website, is transmitted to a server of Google in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. With this function, Google shortens the IP address within the EU or the EEA.
The data collected in this way is used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visits to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide further services related to the use of our website and the use of the internet.
Google states that it does not link your IP address to other data. Furthermore, Google provides additional privacy information for you at https://www.google.com/intl/en/ policies/privacy/partners, including options to prevent data usage.
Additionally, Google offers a deactivation add-on, available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/ gaoptout?hl=en, along with further information. This add-on can be installed with common internet browsers and provides you with more control over the data Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs Google Analytics' JavaScript (ga.js) that information about your website visit should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services. Information about whether and which other web analytics services we use can also be found in this privacy policy.
IONOS WebAnalytics
In our website, we use WebAnalytics, an analysis service provided by 1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany, hereinafter referred to as "WebAnalytics," which allows us to analyse the usage of our website.
For analysis purposes, data on the type and version of your internet browser, your operating system, the type of your end device, the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website you visit, or the files you request, the date and time of each access, and the anonymized IP address of the internet connection from which the use of our website is made are collected either via a pixel or through log files, on our behalf.
If you have given your consent for this processing, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The legal basis can also be Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in analysing, optimizing, improving, and economically operating our website.
