Scope of the processing
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information collected by means of the cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

For Google Analytics, the anonymisation of IP addresses is activated by default. Due to IP anonymisation, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on 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. 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 website visit, your user behaviour is recorded in the form of "events". Events can be:

Page views
First visit to the website
Start of session
Your "click path", interaction with the website
Scrolls (whenever a user scrolls to the bottom of the page (90%))

Third country transfer

Insofar as data is processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish an appropriate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out.

5. Integration of social media services and other third-party content

Within our online offer, we use content or service offers from social media service providers and other third-party providers on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offer) in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content"). This always requires that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user, as without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is thus necessary for the display of this content.

In doing so, we ensure that data transmission only takes place when you use these services.

When you click on the video, data is sent to YouTube over which we have no control.
By activating the video, you consent to the collection, processing and use of the data collected and entered by Google, one of its representatives or third-party providers (consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO).
