Google Tag Manager

this website. The Tag Manager is a managing tool for so-called tags, which are
used for tracking in Online-Marketing. The Tag Manager itself does not process any
personal data, as it is used purely for the administration of other services -
e.g. Google Analytics 4, etc. .
You can find more information about the Tag Manager at: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

Google Analytics 4
For the purpose of
demand-oriented design and ongoing optimization of our pages, we use Google
Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc.
(https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain
View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter "Google"). In this context,
pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies (see under item 5) are
used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website
such as:
- the Browser type/version,
- the operating system used,
- the Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
- the host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
- the time of the server enquiry,
The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these websites. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).
The legal basis for the processing is your consent
pursuant to Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you do not want the aforementioned data to be
collected and processed, you can refuse your consent via the Consent Manager or
change or revoke your consent via the Consent Manager.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the
website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google
by downloading and installing a browser add-on
(https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also
prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the aforementioned
link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the future collection of
your data when visiting our website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this
browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete
the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.
Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found at the
following link in the Google Analytics help:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de
In order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose
of optimizing our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. In
this process, Google Ads sets a cookie (see section 5) on your computer if
you have accessed our website via a Google ad.
Google Ads Conversion Tracking
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If
the user visits certain pages of the Google Ads 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 Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Google Ads customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion
cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have
opted for conversion tracking. The Google Ads 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 personally identify users.
If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a
cookie required for this - for example, via a browser setting that generally
disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for
conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the
"www.googleadservices.com" domain. Google's privacy policy on
conversion tracking can be found at the following link: https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html
In addition, you have
the option to make the settings via the Consent Manager in each case.

which contains, for example, your IP address, the date and time of the call-up,
the amount of data transferred and the requesting provider (access data) and
documents the call-up. This access data is not evaluated and is automatically
overwritten at the latest seven days after the end of your visit to the site.

registered to use them. In this case, the contractual agreement between you and
