Google Analytics
We use the web analysis tool “Google Analytics” to design our websites according to your needs. Google Analytics creates usage profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your end device and read out by us. In this way we are able to recognize returning visitors and count them as such.
Within the framework of Google Analytics, Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC (United States) support us as processors according to Art. 28 of the GDPR. The data processing can therefore also take place outside the EU or EEA. With regard to Google LLC it is certified under that EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, and is therefore considered to provide an adequate level of data protection.
If you agree and give your consent via our banner, the processing of your personal data will be based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Lit. a, GDPR and the third-country transfer on the basis of Art. 49 Para. 1 Lit. a, GDPR.
You can withdraw your consent at any time. Please follow this link and make the appropriate changes.

Google uses the following data to determine whether you are a person or a computer: IP address of your device, the webpage which you are visiting and on which the CAPTCHA is embedded, time and date of the query, recognition features of your browser and operating system, google account if you are logged in, mouse movements on the reCAPTCHA areas and tasks for which you must identify an image. The legal basis for the described processing is Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR (balancing of interests based on our interest to ensure the security of our webpage).
