Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files on your computer to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie is about your use of the website, which is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on these websites, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement in the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The use of Google Maps

We use the Google Maps service on this website. Google Maps is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google"). This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and it enables you to use the map feature conveniently.

Detailed instructions on how to manage your own data in relation to Google products can be found here: https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190

When you visit our website Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account.

You will need to log out of your Google profile, if you do not want Google Maps to use your current location before using our website. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its websites. This type of analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide appropriate advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to these types of user profiles being created, however, you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Withdrawal of consent:

No option for a simple opt-out or blocking of data transfer is currently offered by the provider. If you wish to prevent your activities on our website from being tracked, please revoke your consent for the corresponding cookie category or all technically unnecessary cookies and data transfers on the cookie consent tool.

When you visit a page with a YouTube plugin a connection to the YouTube server will be established. This tells YouTube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account YouTube can assign your own personal surfing behaviour. In order to prevent this, you will need to log out of your YouTube account beforehand.

When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behaviour.

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The company operating the Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you have accessed our website via an ad placed by Google, Google AdWords will start tracking cookies on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie process starts when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google.

If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers' websites.

The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.
