6) Web analytics services
Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („Google“), which enables an analysis of your use of our website.
By default, when you visit the website, Google Analytics 4 sets cookies—small text files stored on your device—to collect certain information. This information includes your IP address; however, Google truncates the final digits to prevent direct personal identification.
The information is transmitted to Google servers and processed there. This process may involve data transfers to Google LLC, based in the USA.
Google uses the collected information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity for us, and provide other services related to website and internet usage. The truncated IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google. Data collected through the use of Google Analytics 4 is stored for a period of two months and subsequently deleted.
All processing activities described above—specifically the placement of cookies on your device—take place only if you have given us your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during your visit to the site. You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your right of revocation, please deactivate this service using the „Cookie Consent Tool“ provided on the website.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google that ensures the protection of our site visitors‘ data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Demographic Characteristics
Google Analytics 4 utilizes the „Demographics“ feature to generate statistics regarding the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This is achieved by analyzing advertising data and information from third-party providers. This allows for the identification of target audiences for marketing activities. However, the collected data cannot be linked to any specific individual and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.
Google Signals
As an extension to Google Analytics 4, Google Signals may be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have enabled personalized advertising and linked your devices to your Google account, Google—subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR—may analyze your usage behavior across devices and create database models, including models regarding cross-device conversions. We do not receive personal data from Google, only statistics. If you wish to stop cross-device analysis, you can disable the „Personalized Advertising“ feature in your Google account settings. To do so, please follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155764?hl=de
