The web analysis service Google Analytics (Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) also uses cookies.

These text files are stored on your computer and allow how the website is used to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will be sent in an anonymous format to a Google server in the USA, where it will be stored. More information about how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in the Google privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en

We also want to point out the following points about Google Analytics to you:

• Google Analytics records the demographic profiles of website visitors in terms of age, gender and interests. The provider receives this data from its own personalised ads and third-party visitor data. However, it is not possible to link this data to specific individuals.
• Google Remarketing allows targeted advertising to be sent to users who have already shown an interest in our online services. Cookies are used as part of this process as well and can be disabled at www.google.com/settings/ads.
• Google AdWords Conversion Tracking sets a cookie when you access our online services via a Google ad. These cookies are valid for 30 days and are not used to identify users personally, but instead serve statistical purposes for improving our advertising activities. As every user receives a different cookie, no other AdWords customers can be tracked via the websites. You can stop this tracking by blocking the setting of cookies from the googleadservices.com domain in your browser.
• Google Tag Manager sets simple website tags instead of cookies. No personal data is collected as part of this process, but this tool can trigger other tags which may collect data not accessed by Google Tag Manager. More information can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

We use Google Tag Manager, a product of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA ("Google"). Google Tag Manager allows us to manage website tags via an interface. However, the Tag Manager itself, which uses the tags, works without cookies, and does not collect any personal data. The Tag Manager merely triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Corresponding explanations for these respective third-party providers can be found in this privacy policy. However, Google Tag Manager does not use this data. If you have set or otherwise deactivated cookies, this will be observed for all tracking tags used with Google Tag Manager, i.e. the tool will not change your cookie settings. Google may ask you for permission to share some product data (e.g. your account information) with other Google products to enable certain features, such as making it easier to add new conversion tracking tags for AdWords. In addition, Google's developers review product usage information from time-to-time to further optimise the product. However, Google will not pass on any data of this kind to other Google products without your consent.

The use of Google Tag Manager is in accordance with your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. We explain the cookies used below or in the detailed overview of the cookie banner.

Further information can be found in Google's terms of use for this product and in Google's privacy policy.
