DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, improve campaign
performance reports, or prevent a user from

displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed
multiple times. The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest

In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record conversions related to ad

According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct
connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of

service to draw attention to our attractive offers using advertising materials (socalled Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine how successful the
individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising
campaigns. In doing so, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of
interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair
calculation of advertising costs.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an AdWords ad placed
by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These
cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the
user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and
we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each
Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be
tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using
the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers
who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of
Users who have clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion
tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to
personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can block
this use by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your Internet

11) WEB ANALYSIS SERVICES
Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC,
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). Google
Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer and
that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the
cookie about your use of this website (including your shortened IP address) is
usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()",
which ensures that the IP address is anonymized by shortening it and excludes direct
personal reference. This extension means that your IP address will be shortened
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. In these exceptional cases, this processing takes place in
accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the
statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to
compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to
website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part
of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate settings on your
browser; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the
functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from

Google LLC, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection
agreement “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with the data protection
level applicable in the EU.
This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows,
which is carried out using a user ID. When a page is accessed for the first time, the user
is assigned a unique, permanent and anonymized ID that is set across devices. This
makes it possible to assign interaction data from different devices and from different
sessions to an individual user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and
does not transmit such to Google.
You can object to the collection and storage of data via the user ID at any time with
effect for the future. To do this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems
that you use, for example in another browser or on your mobile device.
You can deactivate this using a browser plug-in from Google (https://

displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed
multiple times. The processing is carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest

According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

service to draw attention to our attractive offers using advertising materials (socalled Google Adwords) on external websites. We can determine how successful the
individual advertising measures are in relation to the data from the advertising
campaigns. In doing so, we pursue the interest of showing you advertising that is of
interest to you, making our website more interesting for you and achieving a fair
calculation of advertising costs.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an AdWords ad placed

cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the
user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and

tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using
the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers
who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of
Users who have clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion
tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to
personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can block

that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the
cookie about your use of this website (including your shortened IP address) is
usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()",
which ensures that the IP address is anonymized by shortening it and excludes direct
personal reference. This extension means that your IP address will be shortened
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. In these exceptional cases, this processing takes place in
accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the
statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.
On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to
compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to
website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part
of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

makes it possible to assign interaction data from different devices and from different
sessions to an individual user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and
does not transmit such to Google.
You can object to the collection and storage of data via the user ID at any time with
effect for the future. To do this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems
that you use, for example in another browser or on your mobile device.
