a) Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043 USA ("Google") on our websites. Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", (see under point 4.). The information generated by the cookie about the use of these web pages is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event that IP anonymization is activated on these websites, however, Google will truncate the IP address beforehand 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. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by the customer's browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. The customer may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on the browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. The customer can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to the use of the website (including IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link(http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

This will place an opt-out cookie on your device. If you delete your cookies, you must click this link again.

b) Use of remarketing or "similar target groups" function of Google Inc.

We use the remarketing or "similar target groups" function of Google Inc. ("Google") on our website. By means of this function, the provider can target the visitors of the website with advertising by displaying personalized, interest-related advertising ads for visitors of the provider's website when they visit other websites in the Google Display Network. To carry out the analysis of website usage, which forms the basis for the creation of interest-based advertisements, Google uses so-called "cookies"(see under point 4.). You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. However, this could limit the functionality of our offers. The cookies are used to record visits to the website as well as anonymized data on the use of the website. No personal data of the website visitors is stored. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you will be shown advertisements that are highly likely to take into account previously accessed product and information areas.

c) Google AdWords Conversion Tracking

In order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. Google AdWords sets a so-called "cookie" (see section 4) on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the AdWords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. The AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the"www.googleadservices.com"domain.
