§ 4 Web analysis with Google Analytics

(1) Purpose of processing

This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Analytics 4 uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your device and enable us to analyze your use of the website. According to Google, no individual IP addresses are logged or stored in Google Analytics 4. No precise location data is provided in Analytics. Instead, the following metadata is derived from IP addresses: "city" (and the derived latitude and longitude of the city), "continent", "country", "region", "subcontinent" (and the ID-based equivalents). For access originating from the EU, IP addresses are only used to derive location data and are then immediately deleted. They are not logged, are not accessible and are not used for other applications. When collecting measurement data in Analytics, all IP searches are carried out on EU-based servers before the traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing. These servers are also located outside the EU.

Google Analytics has the User ID function. With the help of this function, sessions can be assigned permanent IDs and thus user behavior can be analyzed across devices. When using the IDs, no inadmissible personally identifiable information is used and user IDs do not contain any information that could be used by third parties to determine the identity of a user. Remarketing target groups can be created based on the user IDs. However, Analytics only collects the user ID and the device ID for the last device assigned to a logged-in user.

We use the Google Signals function. This function collects additional information about website visitors who have activated personalized ads and ads can be delivered to these visitors in cross-device remarketing campaigns.

Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

(2) Legal basis

The legal basis for this processing is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1a) GDPR.
