Demographic characteristics of Google Analytics
This website uses the function “demographic characteristics" of Google Analytics. This means that reports can be crated that contain information on the age, sex and interests of the website visitors. These data stem from interest-based advertising provided by Google as well as from visitor data provided by third party suppliers. These data cannot be assigned to any particular party.

Google AdSense
This website uses Google AdSense, a service for the integration of advertisements of Google Inc. ("Google"). The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google AdSense uses so-called "cookies", text files that are downloaded onto your computer, thus making an analysis of your use of the website possible. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons are used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on these pages.
The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats are transmitted to one of Google’s servers in the USA, where it is stored.

Google Analytics Remarketing
Our website uses the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in connection with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. This way, interest-related, personalized advertising messages adapted to you depending on your previous user and surfing behavior on a terminal device (e.g. cell phone) can also be shown on one of your other terminal devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have given the corresponding consent, Google will link your web and app browser history with your Google account for this purpose. This way, the same personalized advertising messages can be shown on any terminal device you sign in to with your Google account.
To support this function Google Analytics captures google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently object to cross-device re-marketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account. Please follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The collected data in your Google-account will be merged exclusively on the basis of your consent, which you can give or withdraw at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account, or have objected to that merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The justified interest results from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
