How we use cookies
We use cookies to monitor our Website traffic, to ensure better service levels and in order to provide you with certain features such as the customised delivery of certain information.  To prevent the use of cookies you should activate the facility which is available in most web browsers that enables a user to deny or accept cookies.

Google Analytics 
We use the Google Analytics tool on our website, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google Ireland”).

Google Analytics enables us to analyse and evaluate the use of our website in order to compile reports on our users’ website activity based on this information. Google Analytics also creates pseudonymised user profiles of website visitors. The use of Google Analytics involves the use of technically non-essential cookies and online identifiers (including cookie identifiers), IP addresses and your device identifiers. We use Google Analytics exclusively with the “Anonymize-IP” extension, which deletes part of your IP address before it is transmitted to Google. Google Ireland acts as a service provider in connection with the use of Google Analytics; you can access the data processing agreement applicable to Google Analytics via the following link: https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms.

If you consent to the use of Google Analytics, cookies will be set on your device. The legal basis for this is Section 25(1) of the TTDSG. Any subsequent processing of data is based on the consent you have given us in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

The cookies used by Google Analytics have a lifespan of between one minute and two years and serve the purpose of throttling the request rate, distinguishing between users, identifying the user and displaying personalised advertising to the user.

The information collected through the use of Google Analytics is deleted after 9 or 18 months (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads).
The use of Google Analytics may result in the transfer of your data to the USA. There is no unrestricted adequacy decision from the European Commission regarding data transfers to the USA. Data transfer takes place, amongst other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of personal data, which we have agreed with Google Ireland in the data processing agreement. Google is also certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).

You can also prevent data being transferred to Google Ireland by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
