Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”), which can be used to analyze the use of websites.
p>When using Google Analytics 4, so-called “cookies” are used as standard. Cookies are text files that are stored on your device and that allow your use of a website to be analyzed. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including the IP address transmitted by your device, abbreviated with the last digits, see below) is usually transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there. This may also result in information being transferred to the servers of Google LLC, located in the USA, where the information can be further processed.
When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address sent by your device when you use the website is always collected and processed automatically and anonymously by default, so that the collected information cannot be directly linked to a person. This automatic anonymization takes place by shortening the IP address transmitted by your device by Google within member states of the European Union (EU) or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA).
On our behalf, Google will use this and other information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on your website activities and usage behavior and to provide us with other services relating to your website use and internet usage. The shortened IP address transmitted by your device as part of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other Google data. The data collected in the context of the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for 2 months and then deleted.
Google Analytics 4 also allows the creation of statistics containing statements about the age, gender and interests of website users based on an evaluation of interest-based advertising and using third-party information through a special function, the zo-'demographic characteristics'. This makes it possible to determine and differentiate user groups of the website, so that marketing measures can be targeted in a target group-optimized manner. However, data collected via “demographic characteristics” cannot be attributed to a specific person and therefore not to you personally. This data collected via the “demographic characteristics” function is kept for two months and then deleted.

The logins and device types of all website users who are signed into a Google account and converted are taken into account. The data shows, among other things, on which device you first clicked on an ad and on which device the corresponding conversion took place. We do not receive any personal data from Google, but only statistics created on the basis of Google Signals. You have the option to deactivate the "personalized ads" function in the settings of your Google account and thus disable cross-device analysis in connection with Google Signals. To do this, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de
More information about Google Signals can be found via the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de
For our use of Google Analytics 4, we have concluded a so-called order processing agreement with Google, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on to third parties.
To ensure compliance with the European level of data protection, including the possible transfer of data from the EU or EEA to the USA and the possible further processing there, Google relies on the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission, which we contract with Google agreed.
