(1) Purpose of data 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 "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. According to Google, Google Analytics 4 does not log or store individual IP addresses. 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 accesses originating from the EU, IP addresses are only used to derive location data and are immediately deleted afterwards. They are not logged, are not accessible, and are not used for any other use cases. When collecting measurement data in Analytics, all IP searches take place on EU-based servers before the traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing. These servers are also located outside the EU.
Google Analytics provides the User ID function. With the help of this function, sessions can be assigned permanent IDs and user behavior can thus be analyzed across devices. When using the IDs, no unauthorized 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 device ID for the last device associated with a logged-in user.
We use the Google Signals function. This feature collects additional information about website visitors who have activated personalized ads and ads can be delivered to these visitors in cross-device remarketing campaigns.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information 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.
