The external partners used are listed below with a link to their data protection information.
      2. Use of Google AnalyticsWe use Google Analytics on our websites, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files placed on your end device to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, by activating IP anonymization, your IP address will first be shortened by Google 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 our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the websites, to compile reports on website activity and provide other apps relating to website activity and internet usage to us. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

        You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:

Use of Google Tag ManagerWe use the Google Tag Manager (https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).With the Google Tag Manager, tags of Google’s apps and of third-party providers can be managed and bundled and embedded on an online presence. Tags are small code elements on an online presence that are used, among other things, to measure visitor numbers and behavior, to record the impact of online advertising and social channels, to use remarketing and targeting of groups, and to test and optimize online presences. When a user visits the online presence, the current tag configuration is sent to the user’s browser. It contains instructions on which tags should be triggered. Google Tag Manager takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Information on this can be found in the passages on the use of the corresponding apps in this privacy policy. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

        Further information on Google Tag Manager can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/faq.html and in Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

This allows personal data to be stored and evaluated, in particular the user’s activity (especially which pages have been visited and which elements have been clicked on), device and browser information (especially the IP address and operating system), data about the advertisements displayed (especially which advertisements were displayed and whether the user clicked on them) and also data from advertising partners (especially pseudonymized user IDs).

      4. Use of Google Tag ManagerWe use the Google Tag Manager (https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).With the Google Tag Manager, tags of Google’s apps and of third-party providers can be managed and bundled and embedded on an online presence. Tags are small code elements on an online presence that are used, among other things, to measure visitor numbers and behavior, to record the impact of online advertising and social channels, to use remarketing and targeting of groups, and to test and optimize online presences. When a user visits the online presence, the current tag configuration is sent to the user’s browser. It contains instructions on which tags should be triggered. Google Tag Manager takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Information on this can be found in the passages on the use of the corresponding apps in this privacy policy. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

        Further information on Google Tag Manager can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/faq.html and in Google’s privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
