5. Google Universal Analytics with IP anonymisation
(1) This website uses Google Universal Analytics with IP anonymisation, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Universal Analytics uses “Cookies”. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, by activating IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union, or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, for compiling reports on website activity, and for providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the operator of this website.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Universal Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
(3) In addition to the cookie settings of your browser, you can prevent the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
(4) We would like to point out that on this website, Google Universal Analytics has been extended by the code “ga(‘set’, ‘anonymizeIp’, true);” in order to ensure anonymous recording of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). As a result, IP addresses are further processed in a shortened form, so that a direct personal reference can be excluded.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield.

6. Integration of the Facebook pixel
(1) On this website, we use the visitor action pixel of Facebook on the basis of our justified interest in the analysis, optimisation, and economic operation of our online offer.
This pixel allows us to track users’ actions after they have seen or clicked on a Facebook ad. This takes place in order to capture the effectiveness of the Facebook ads, both for statistical purposes and for market research purposes. The data is collected anonymously, so that the personal data of individual users is not visible to us.
(2) By means of the Facebook pixel, Facebook is able to determine the visitors of our offer as a target group for the presentation of ads, so-called “Facebook Ads”. Facebook stores these data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research, and/or the demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of presenting targeted advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website.
(2) We have no influence on the collected data and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes, or the storage periods. We also do not have any information regarding the deletion of the collected data by Facebook. Further information on data processing by Facebook can be found at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
(3) The visitor action pixel is only used with your consent in the form of the “opt-out” procedure. When you visit our website, you will be informed about the use of the Facebook pixel. By clicking on the greyed box you have the possibility to prevent the use of the Facebook pixel.
7. Categories of recipients of personal data
(1) We have some of the aforementioned processes and services carried out by carefully selected service providers commissioned in accordance with data protection regulations. These external service providers are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored. They will not pass on your data to third parties.
