This website uses Google Tag Manager, a cookie-less domain that does not collect any personal data.
Through this tool, “website tags” (i.e. keywords that are integrated into HTML elements) can be implemented and managed via an interface. By using the Google Tag Manager, we can automatically track which button, link or other element you have actively clicked on and can thus record which contents of our website are of particular interest to you.

The tool also triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have opted out at the domain or cookie level, this will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing them other services relating to website activity and internet use.

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program operated by Google Inc.,1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is stored on your computer.

When a user visits specific pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can identify that the user has clicked on the advertisement and has been directed to this page.

Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked using the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion-cookie is used to create conversion-statistics for AdWords customers, who have opted-in to conversion tracking. In this way, customers learn how many users who clicked on their ad have then been redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive any information that could be used to identify any particular user. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this by disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your browser settings. As a result, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The legal basis for storage of conversion cookies is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour aimed at optimising its website and its advertising.

For more information about Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking, please refer to Google’s privacy policy at http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can set your browser to notify you every time before storing cookies and decide on a case-by-case basis, whether to accept them. You can also limit the acceptance of cookies to certain cases, block the acceptance of cookies altogether or enable automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If you disable cookies you may not be able to use all the functions and features of our website.
