The data is collected and stored solely in anonymous or pseudonymous form and it does not allow any personal conclusions to be made about you. The majority of cookies used by us are so-called "session cookies" that are deleted when you shut down your browser session. Cookies do not harm your computer and neither do they contain viruses.
5.2 Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google LLC, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). This usage includes a "universal analytics" operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID so that a user's activities can be analysed across various devices.
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files that are saved in your computer and how you use the website can then be analysed. The cookie that generates the data about how you use this website is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, in the event of IP anonymisation activation within this website, Google will shorten your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other countries contracted to the European Economic Area Agreement. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and it will be shortened there. The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged into other Google data. Google will use this data on behalf of the operator of this website 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. Our legitimate interest lies in the data processing by these functions. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is § 95 Telecommunications Act or Article 6, Para. 1a of the General Data Protection Regulations. Sessions and campaigns stop after a specific time period. Sessions will normally end after 30 minutes of no activity and campaigns after six months. The time limit for campaigns can be up to a maximum of two years.

Each Google Adwords customer receives a different cookie, that is, Cookies can not be tracked through the websites of other AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen conversion tracking. We'll see the total number of visitors who clicked on an ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.
