The software is set in such a way that the IP addresses are not saved completely, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer.

2. Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is the CH-DSG or Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f EU-DSGVO.

3. Purpose of data processing
The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users.

This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website to their full extent.

Furthermore, you as a user have the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, you as the user must use a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout download and install. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is evaluated by Google as a contradiction. If the user's information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the browser add-on must be installed again to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by you as a user or another person who is attributable to your sphere of influence, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

X. Deployment and Use of Google Remarketing

1. Scope of processing of personal data
The operator of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above (Chap. V). With the setting of the cookie, Google is able to recognize the visitor to our website if he or she subsequently calls up websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Each time a website is accessed on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the Internet browser of the person concerned automatically identifies itself to Google. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the surfing behavior of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-based advertising.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the Internet pages visited by the person concerned. Accordingly, each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties, which neither the person responsible (Chap. I) nor the data protection officer (Chap. 2) can influence.

2. Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for the processing of users' personal data is the CH-DSG or Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f EU-DSGVO.

3. Purpose of data processing
Google Remarketing is a Google AdWords feature that allows a company to serve ads to Internet users who have previously visited the company's website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and consequently to display interest-relevant advertisements to the Internet user.

4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case, this is the case after 14 months.

5. Possibility of objection and elimination
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the person concerned must click on the link from each of the Internet browsers they use https://www.google.de/settings/ads and make the desired settings there. Further information and the applicable data protection regulations of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ be retrieved.

XI. Deployment and use of Google AdWords

1. Scope of processing of personal data
The operator of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. If a person concerned reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the information technology system of the person concerned by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the person concerned. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart from an online shop system, were accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to understand whether a person who came to our website via an AdWords ad generated revenue, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. In turn, we use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future . Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the person concerned.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the website visited by the person concerned. Accordingly, each time you visit our website, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

2. Legal basis for processing personal data
The legal basis for the processing of the personal data of the users is in accordance with CH-DSG or Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f EU-DSGVO.

Google AdWords allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords that will only display an ad in Google's search engine results when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-related search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case, this is the case after 14 months.

5. Possibility of objection and elimination
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

XII. Application and use of Google Web Fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display text and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the Google servers. This gives Google knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. Google Web Fonts are used in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offering. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of CH-DSG or Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. f EU-DSGVO. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.

If the person concerned is logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website the person concerned is visiting by calling up a subpage that contains a YouTube video. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube account of the data subject. YouTube and Google always receive information via the YouTube component that the person concerned has visited our website if the person concerned is logged in to YouTube at the same time as accessing our website; this takes place regardless of whether the data subject clicks on a YouTube video or not.
