4. google services

4.1 Google Analytics 360

If you have consented, we use Google Analytics 360, a web analytics service. Google Analytics 360 collects pseudonymised data from you about the use of our website, including your shortened IP address, and uses cookies. This data is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
Your data will be stored by Google Analytics for a period of 14 months. After this period, the data is deleted and only aggregated statistics are kept.
The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
You can revoke your consent at any time and deactivate Google Analytics with a browser add-on. You can download this here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. Alternatively, you can also revoke your consent as described here: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/user-opt-out. The lawfulness of the processing carried out until your revocation remains unaffected.

4.2 Google Remarketing & Advertising Personalisation on the Google Network

If you have consented, we use remarketing services from Google. Google uses cookies to record your usage behaviour on our website so that interest-based advertising for our products can be displayed across devices on other pages within the Google advertising network. This includes Google Search and other sites operated by Google and its affiliates, as well as sites operated by Google's advertising partners. The information is transmitted to Google and Google's partners accordingly. Additional data processing will only take place if you have consented to Google linking your browsing history to your Google Account and using information from your Google Account to personalise the ads you see on the web. In this case, Google will use your data together with Google Analytics data to create and define target group lists for remarketing. For this purpose, Google will temporarily link your personal data with Google Analytics data to build target groups.
The use of these services is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
You can block cookies in your browser. This will not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out until your revocation. Furthermore, the remarketing cookie will be automatically deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected or used it in accordance with the above paragraphs.

4.3 YouTube Pixel

If you have consented, we use the YouTube pixel. This is a tracking code that is loaded when our website and certain subpages are accessed and certain actions are performed, and thus tracks your behaviour on our website. The pixel also collects usage data (such as URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser characteristics and timestamp). We transmit this information to Google so that Google can display advertisements on YouTube according to your behaviour on our website.
We use the YouTube pixel on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can block cookies in your browser. This has no influence on the lawfulness of the processing carried out until your revocation.

4.4 Google Enhanced Conversions

This technology is not based on cookies or pixels. When you use our website and are referred by a Google ad, we send a hashed identifier and information about potential purchases to Google. Google will only use this information to understand which ad you clicked on, to measure the success of certain ads and to provide us with this information in aggregate form. In particular, Google will not use the data to serve targeted ads to you or other users, or store or use the data for any other purpose. We transmit this data on the basis of our legitimate interest in managing our marketing activities (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

5. data security

We use technical and organisational security measures to protect your data from unauthorised access, loss or alteration. Our security measures are state of the art and ISO 27001 certified. They are reviewed and adjusted through annual external audits.
However, it is important to note that no data transmission over the Internet to 100% is secure and therefore we cannot guarantee the absolute security of your data. You can do your part to ensure security by always using the latest browser version and anti-virus software to increase the security of your data.

6. final provisions
