We use analytics tools on our website in the form of tracking software to determine the frequency of use and number of users of our website.

The information on website usage obtained as a result is transmitted exclusively to our servers and summarized in pseudonymous usage profiles. We use the data to evaluate the use of the website. The data collected is not passed on to third parties.
The IP addresses are anonymized (IP masking), so that an assignment to individual users is not possible.
The processing of the data is based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) DSGVO. We thereby pursue our legitimate interest in optimizing our website for our external presentation.

Your visit to this website is currently collected by Matomo web analytics.
You can object to the processing of your data with the following opt-out. You have the option to prevent actions you take here from being analyzed and linked.

Google Ads
Wir nutzen Google Ads, ein Online-Werbeprogramm der Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland (im Folgenden „Google“), welches es uns ermöglicht, Anzeigen in der Google-Suchmaschine oder auf Webseiten Dritter auszuspielen, wenn der Nutzer bestimmte Suchbegriffe bei Google eingibt (Keyword-Targeting).
In addition, targeted ads can be served based on user data available on Google (audience targeting), such as your age and gender, general location, search activity, previous interactions with ads, and types of websites visited.
We can evaluate this data quantitatively with the provider Matomo without setting cookies, for example, by analyzing which search terms led to the playout of our ads and how many ads resulted in impressions and clicks. This also allows us to improve our keywords and add content to our website that matches what users are searching for.
The data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. We thus exercise our legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to improve our advertising and web offerings.

These log file data records are evaluated in anonymized form in order to improve the offer and make it more user-friendly, to find and correct errors and to control the utilization of servers.
