a) Use of anonymized user profiles for web analytics - Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (‘Google’), in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google. Data processing by Google Analytics may take place outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA). An adequate level of data protection is guaranteed for this data transfer on the basis of the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’, small text files which your browser loads onto your device and which enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory 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 truncated there. Google will use this information for the purpose of analyzing your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. 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 this website. You can prevent the collection and processing of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google Analytics and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. You can find Google's terms of use and privacy policy at https://policies.google.com/?hl=us. We would like to point out that the Google Analytics function ‘anonymizeIp’ is active on this website, i.e. IP addresses are anonymized (‘masked’). Our interests lie in the analysis, optimization and efficient operation of our website. The personal data is automatically deleted from Google Analytics after 14 months.
Google Analytics 4
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analysis service of Google Inc (‘Google’), for web analysis. Data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) point (a) if you have given your consent via our cookie banner. We have concluded an order processing contract with Google. Data processing by Google Analytics 4 may take place outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA). An adequate level of data protection is guaranteed for this data transfer on the basis of the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). Google Analytics 4 uses ‘cookies’, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website or apps is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymization is activated here by default and your IP address will be shortened by Google by the last three digits within member states of the European Union or in other signatory 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 truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator, whereby anonymized evaluations, such as the collection of device data (e.g. device type, browser type, operating system and screen resolution) and geographical data (e.g. location, language and country) are carried out. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics 4 will not be merged with other Google data. 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 this website.

We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics 4 has been extended by the code ‘anonymizeIp’ to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). Our interests lie in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website. The personal data is automatically deleted in Google Analytics 4 after 14 months.
b) Leadfeeder
We use the service provider Liidio OY, Mikonkatu 17 C, 00100, Helsinki, Finland (‘Leadfeeder’) to analyze visitors to our website in accordance with Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR. Our interest here is the economic necessity of being able to contact potential new customers.

c) Hotjar
To improve the user experience on our websites, we use Hotjar, which is essentially a web analytics service based on tracking code provided by Hotjar Ltd (‘Hotjar’) (https://www.hotjar.com, Level 2, St Julian's Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julian's STJ 1000, Malta, Europe). The data processing takes place on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR if you have given your consent via our cookie banner. Hotjar makes it possible to measure and evaluate user behavior (clicks, mouse movements, scroll heights, etc.) on our website. Hotjar uses so-called ‘cookies’, which are text files that are stored on your computer and which enable your use of the website to be analyzed. IP addresses are only stored and processed in anonymized form in order to exclude any direct personal reference. In addition, information about the operating system, browser, incoming and outgoing links, geographical origin, resolution and device type is analyzed for statistical purposes. This information is not personalized and is not passed on to third parties by us or Hotjar. If you do not want this recording, you can deactivate it on all websites that use Hotjar by setting the DoNotTrack header in your browser. For more information, please visit: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/.
d) Google Tag Manager
Our website uses “Google Tag Manager”, which is provided by “Google” (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, fax: +353 (1) 436 1001). “Google Tag Manager” is a solution that allows website tags and other elements to be managed through a single interface.
When you visit the website with ‘Google Tag Manager’, an HTTP request is first sent to ‘Google’.
This transmits device information and personal data - such as your IP address and information about your browser settings - to Google. We use ‘Google Tag Manager’ to facilitate electronic communication by providing information to third-party providers, including via programming interfaces. The ‘Google Tag Manager’ implements the respective tracking codes of the third-party providers without us having to change the source code of the website ourselves. Instead, the integration takes place via a container that inserts so-called placeholder code into the source code. ‘Google Tag Manager’ also enables the exchange of user data parameters in a specific order, in particular by organizing and systematizing the data packets. Data processing by Google Tag Manager may take place outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA). An adequate level of data protection is guaranteed for this data transfer on the basis of the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR. The ‘Google Tag Manager’ does not initiate any data storage. Further information on data protection at ‘Google’ can be found at: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy.
On the other hand, the ‘Google Tag Manager’ integrates tags from third-party providers, such as tracking codes or tracking pixels, on our website. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn collect your data; this is explained separately in our privacy policy. The ‘Google Tag Manager’ itself does not analyze the device information and personal user data collected by the tags. Rather, your data is forwarded to the respective third-party service for the purposes specified in our consent management tool. We have configured ‘Google Tag Manager’ to work with our consent management tool so that the triggering of certain third-party services in ‘Google Tag Manager’ depends on the selections you make in our consent management tool, so that only the third-party tags for which you have given consent trigger data processing. The use of ‘Google Tag Manager’ is subject to your consent for the respective third-party service. The legal basis for this processing is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) point (a) GDPR. Data processing by Google Tag Manager may take place outside the EU or the EEA (in particular in the USA). An adequate level of data protection is guaranteed for this data transfer on the basis of the adequacy decision (EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework). Please refer to the following descriptions of the individual third-party services to find out how long your data is stored in each case. Further information on data protection at ‘Google’ can be found at: https://policies.google.com/privacy.
You can withdraw your consent to the processing and transfers to third countries at any time by moving the slider back for the respective third-party provider in the consent tool “Settings”. This does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent prior to the withdrawal.
