Description
We use the "Google Analytics" service on our website to record and evaluate access to the website.
If you have given your consent, Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, is used on this website. The responsible body for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
Scope of processing
Google Analytics uses cookies, which enable an analysis of the use of our websites by you. The information collected by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
We use the User ID function. User ID allows us to assign a unique, persistent ID to one or more sessions (and the activities within those sessions) and analyze user behavior across devices.
We use Google signals. With this, additional information about users who have activated personalized ads (interests and demographic data) is recorded in Google Analytics and ads can be delivered to these users in cross-device remarketing campaigns.
With Google Analytics 4, the anonymization of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
During your visit to the website, your user behavior is both recorded and tagged for optimization using Google Tag Manager in the form of "events". Events can be:
