Google Analytics
The provider uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website by users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, the IP address of the user will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. IP anonymization is active on this website.

Conversion Tracking
The provider also uses Google Conversion Tracking. Google AdWords sets a cookie on the computer of those users who have accessed the provider’s website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the AdWords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers. AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to identify users personally. Users who do not wish to participate in the tracking process can prevent the storage of cookies by making the appropriate settings in their browser software. However, the provider points out to the users that in this case they may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. Users can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com”. Supplementary information on Google’s data protection principles can be found at: www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy.
