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.

We have concluded a contract data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the most stringent requirements issued by the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

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.
