Online Marketing/ Analysis Tools
The tracking measures used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO, § 15 para. 3 TMG. With the tracking measures we use, we want to ensure that our website is designed to meet the needs of our customers and is continuously optimized.

These interests are to be regarded as justified in the sense of the aforementioned regulation.
Google Analytics
For the purpose of designing our websites to meet your needs and continuously optimizing them, 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 “Google”). In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see also point 5) are set. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and the time of the server inquiry is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide further services connected with the use of the website and the Internet for the purposes of market research and the design of these websites in line with requirements. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is § 15 para. 3 TMG in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf.

Google Adwords / Conversion Tracking
We also use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” as part of Google AdWords conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your device. These cookies expire after 31 days and do not contain any personally identifiable information, so they are not personally identifiable. If you visit certain pages on our site and the cookie hasn’t expired, Google and we can tell that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. This tells customers the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis for the use of Google Adwords/ Conversion Tracking is § 15 para. 3 TMG in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com” through a corresponding setting in your browser software (deactivation option). You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
