Use of Google Analytics To optimize and analyze our online offering, we use the "Google Analytics" service, which is offered by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), based on our legitimate interests on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR. Google LLC is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and therefore guarantees a level of data protection comparable to European data protection law. The IP address of users of our website is shortened within the European Economic Area, where the same data protection regulations apply as in Germany. Only in individual cases is the IP address initially transmitted in full to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. This shortening eliminates the personal reference to your IP address. The user's IP address transmitted by the browser is under no circumstances combined with other data stored by Google. The data collected by Google on our behalf is used within the framework of the data processing agreement that we, as website operators, have concluded with Google LLC in order to evaluate the use of our online offering, to improve our online offering and to provide other services associated with the use of our online offering and internet usage.

Facebook therefore receives information from your browser, among other things, that our page has been accessed from your device.

By integrating Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding web page on our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and save your IP address and other identification features. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield, so that an appropriate level of data protection exists according to the European Commission's implementing decision.
