If you have provided additional voluntary information, the processing of this data is based on your voluntarily given consent (Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR).

e. Cookies
To learn more about how we use these and your choices in relation to these tracking technologies, please refer to our Cookie Policy.

f. Google Analytics
If you have given your consent by accepting our Cookies Policy, we use Google Analytics for web analytics. This serves to evaluate visitor flows and visitor behavior. In addition, the collected data can be used to optimize our website.
For this purpose, profiles, i.e., summarized data, can also be created, stored in the browser and read out again. The data collected includes usage data such as the website visited, access times, etc., meta, communication and procedural data such as IP addresses, time data, etc.
The provider of Google Analytics in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Analytics also uses cookies that allow us to analyze in an anonymized way how you use our websites. As a security measure, we use IP masking. This is a pseudonymization of the IP address. According to Google, this takes place on servers within the EU or the EEA. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address is transferred to servers in a third country, in particular the USA, and is shortened there. According to Google, the IP address is not merged with other information.
The data sent by us and linked to cookies are automatically deleted after 2 months. The maximum life of Google Analytics cookies is 2 years. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically.
As Google has parent companies in the USA, a third country transfer is possible. The basis for this transfer of data is the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) as well as standard contractual clauses (https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/).
The legal basis for data processing within the scope of Google Analytics is your consent pursuant to Art.6 para.1 p.1 lit. a GDPR.
You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. To do so, you can call up the cookie settings and change your selection there. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal remains unaffected.

g. Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
The Google Tag Manager is a tool that helps us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies and does not perform any independent analyses. It only serves to manage and play out the tools integrated via it. However, the Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transferred to Google’s parent company in the United States.
The use of the Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in a quick and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on our website. Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; the consent can be withdrawn at any time.
Google’s privacy policy can be found here: https://policies.google.com/privacy

h. External content
We integrate external content into our website that is loaded from the servers of the respective provider. This may involve videos, for example.
An integration always requires that the provider sends its content to your browser via your IP address. The IP address is used to display the content and is also required for the function. In some cases, providers use pixel tags (invisible graphics) for statistical or marketing purposes. This allows information to be evaluated. In addition, cookies are sometimes used in which user data is stored.
The legal basis for the integration of this content is our legitimate interest in providing our website and user-friendliness in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO.
The service provider for the integration of YouTube videos is Google. The basis for a third country transfer is the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

The legal basis for the use of the web hoster is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in not having to operate our own server for our website.
