Double-Opt-In and Logging Registration for our newsletter takes place in a so-called double opt-in process. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail in which you are asked to confirm your registration. The registrations to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time, as well as the IP address. Statistical collection and analyses When you call up the newsletter, technical information, such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the call-up are initially collected.

  5. Google Tools
  • Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and as part of it the “Google Ads Conversion”. Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer if you have landed on our website via a Google ad. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this website. For this cookie, the unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values. A different cookie is assigned to each Google AdWords customer. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked via the website of AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect or process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google. Based on these evaluations, we can see which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising tools; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information. Due to the marketing tool used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge: Through the integration of Google Ads Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out and store your IP address. Users who do not wish to participate in the tracking can easily deactivate the Google conversion tracking cookie via their internet browser under the user settings. These users will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO.
