8) Web Analysis Services
Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which enables the analysis of your use of our website.
By default, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies when you visit the website, which are small text blocks placed on your device that collect certain information. This includes your IP address, which, however, is truncated by Google to exclude direct personal identification.
The information is transmitted to Google's servers and processed there. This may involve transfers to Google LLC in the USA.
Google uses the information collected on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet use. The truncated IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. The data collected through Google Analytics 4 is stored for two months and then deleted.
All the aforementioned processing, especially the setting of cookies on your device, will only take place if you have given your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by disabling this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.

Further legal information on Google Analytics 4 can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en and https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
Demographic Features
Google Analytics 4 uses the "demographic features" function to compile statistics about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This is done by analyzing advertising and information from third-party providers. This helps identify target groups for marketing activities. The collected data cannot be assigned to any specific individual and is deleted after two months.
Google Signals
As an extension of Google Analytics 4, this website may use Google Signals to create cross-device reports. If you have personalized ads enabled and your devices are linked to your Google account, Google can analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including cross-device conversions, with your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We receive only statistics from Google, not personal data. To stop cross-device analysis, you can disable the "Personalized Ads" function in your Google account settings. Follow the instructions here: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en. Further information on Google Signals can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en.

9) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking
Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). In relation to the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are. We aim to show you advertisements that are of interest to you, make our website more interesting for you, and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads advertisement. These cookies are small text files placed on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and do not personally identify you. If you visit certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the advertisement and were redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. 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 information that personally identifies users. In the course of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the USA.
Details on the processing triggered by Google Ads Conversion Tracking and on Google's handling of data from websites can be found here: https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites.
All the aforementioned processing, especially the setting of cookies for retrieving information on your device, will only take place if you have given your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by disabling this service via the "Cookie Consent Tool" provided on the website.
You can also permanently object to the setting of cookies by Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=en.
Please note that certain functions of this website may not be available or only to a limited extent if you have deactivated the use of cookies.

10) Website Features
Instagram Plugins
Plugins of the social network of the following provider are used on our website: Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
These plugins enable direct interactions with content on the social network.
To enhance the protection of your data when visiting our website, the plugins are initially disabled and integrated into the page using the so-called "2-click" or "Shariff" solution.
This integration ensures that no connection to the provider's servers is established when you access a page on our website that contains such plugins.
Only when you activate the plugins and thus give your consent to the data transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, your browser will establish a direct connection to the provider's servers. Information about your device (including your IP address), browser, and browsing history may be transferred to and possibly processed by the provider, regardless of whether you have an existing account with the provider or are logged in to the account. If you are logged into your social network account, the provider can directly assign the visit to our website to your account. The interaction with plugins, e.g., clicking the "Like" button or leaving a comment, will be transferred to the provider and stored there.
