All of this is information that does not allow you to be identified in any way..

Anonymous information of this type is evaluated by us statistically, in order to optimise our internet appearance and the technology behind it.

Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, or text files that are stored on your computer to facilitate analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Due to the activation of the IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will however be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contractual states of the Treaty on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a server of Google in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide further services for the website operators related to website usage and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be linked to any other data stored by Google. You can prevent the installation of the cookies by a setting in your browser software; we would, however, draw your attention to the fact that you might then be unable to make full use of the functions of this website.

Cookies

We also use so-called “cookies”, like many other websites. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. By doing so, we automatically receive certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system via your computer and your connection to the internet.
Cookies cannot be used to start programmes or to transfer viruses to a computer. Thanks to the information contained in the cookies we can facilitate your navigation and enable the correct display of our websites.. The data collected by us will not be passed on to third parties under any circumstances or a connection with personal data made without your consent. Naturally, you can also view our website basically without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set so that they accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time using the settings of your browser. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to find out how you can change these settings. Please bear in mind that individual functions of our website may not function, if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. If you have accessed our website via an advert published by Google, a cookie is set on your computer by Google Adwords. The cookie for conversion tracking is set if a user clicks on an advert published by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google recognise that the user has clicked the advert and was transferred to this page. Every Google AdWords customer is given a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers, who have decided on conversion tracking. The customers are informed of the total number of users, who have clicked their adverts and were transferred to a page provided with a conversion tracking tag. They do not however receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
If you do not wish to take part in the tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - such as via browser setting, which generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or sets your browser in such a way that cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com” are blocked.

Please bear in mind that you may not delete the opt-out cookies if you do not want any recording of measuring data. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must reset the respective opt-out cookie.
