- Google Tag Manager
- What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?
On our website we use the service of the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: Google Tag Manager). Google Tag Manager offers a technical platform for executing and bundling other web services and web tracking programmes using so-called “tags”. In this context, Google Tag Manager stores cookies on your computer and insofar as web tracking tools are executed using Google Tag Manager, analyses your browsing behaviour (so-called “tracking”). This data sent by individual tags embedded in Google Tag Manager is aggregated, stored and processed by Google Tag Manager under a unified user interface. All embedded “tags” are listed again separately in this privacy policy. For more information about the privacy of the tools included in Google Tag Manager, please refer to the relevant section of this privacy policy. When using our website with the activated integration of tags from Google Tag Manager, data such as in particular your IP address and your user activities is transmitted to servers of the company Google Ireland Limited. The provisions contained in the relevant section of this privacy policy apply with regard to the web services included via Google Tag Manager. The tracking tools used in Google Tag Manager ensure that the IP address is anonymised by Google Tag Manager before transmission through the IP anonymisation of the source code. This ensures that Google Tag Manager is only able to collect IP addresses anonymously (so-called IP masking). - Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Rechtsgrundlage für die Datenverarbeitung ist gemäß Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO Ihre Einwilligung in unserem Hinweisbanner bezüglich der Nutzung von Cookies und Webtracking (Einwilligung durch eindeutige bestätigende Handlung bzw. Verhaltensweise). - Purpose of the data processing
On our behalf, Google will use the information obtained through Google Tag Manager to evaluate your visit to this website, compile reports on website activity and provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. - Duration of storage
Google will store the data relevant to the function of Google Tag Manager for as long as is necessary to fulfil the web service that has been signed up for. The data is collected and stored in anonymised form. Should there nevertheless be a reference to a person, the data will be deleted immediately except where it is subject to statutory retention requirements. In any case, the data will be deleted after the retention period has expired.
- Option for objection and erasure
You can prevent the collection and transfer of personal data to Google (especially your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by disabling the execution of script code in your browser, installing a script blocker in your browser or activating the “Do Not Track” setting of your browser.

Our website contains a tracking code from Matomo (formerly Piwik), an open-source web analysis tool (https://matomo.org). The web tracking is done by us alone, without any reference to a person. Matomo is hosted for this purpose on our own server infrastructure. A transfer to third parties does not therefore take place.
We collect, process and store usage data about the use of our site, such as referrer links, the time spent on certain URLs, the clickstream and also data about your browser settings, such as the manufacturer of the browser and also its version, the screen resolution and the operating system used.

We may also where necessary collect and store parts of your IP address and information about our website’s load speed. We can only use this data to create anonymous user profiles and extract statistical information. We also, as part the of Matomo web tracking, use cookies to distinguish between returning site visitors and first-time visitors. Cookies are small text files that are stored locally in the memory of your internet browser and that contain a separate ID and possibly other technical information. Without your consent, which must be separately given, the data collected in this connection will not be merged with any other personal data we may have. - Legal basis for the processing of personal data
In many cases, there is no reference to a person. Should a reference to a person nevertheless arise, the legal basis for the collection is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, namely the legitimate interest in the analysis of our website. - Purpose of the data processing
Web tracking serves to analyse user flows to enable us to anonymously monitor the functionality and usability of our website and to continuously improve our online offering. It is used solely for the collection of statistical, non-personal data. - Duration of storage
We store all web tracking data collected via Matomo for an indefinite period of time, provided such data is available to us in anonymised form only. If the data is not anonymised, we will delete it after 12 months at the latest. - Option for objection and erasure
You can prevent the collection of the aforementioned data as well as its processing by installing a JavaScript blocker to prevent the collection of other app analysis data. Should a reference to a person arise, you may withdraw your consent at any time under the rules outlined in this privacy policy.

Art. 6 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest consists in protecting our website and the existing options for data input from the abusive input of data by bots.
By looking at specific characteristics and analysing page behaviour, the service recognises whether the input made is an automated input by means of a programme (so-called bot) or a human being. The service has three different levels. Either the service automatically recognises the fact that the input made is not an automated input by a bot or it allows the user to select a captcha checkbox. A third possibility is to display small picture or language-based tasks/word challenges, which have to be solved by the site visitor. Google reCaptcha is a capcha service that is used on our website for security reasons, to prevent bots (robot programmes) from being able to interact on our website. Google reCaptcha acts on our behalf to check that only humans and no bots can use our website.

As for the actual processing, the following data is collected either by the service or by us: user behaviour (e.g. mouse gestures or input behaviour), IP address, browser data, computer information.
If you wish to use the Google reCaptcha-protected input options on our website, you must allow the use of Google reCaptcha and, where necessary, solve the corresponding captchas. Unless you complete the captcha or allow the use of Google reCaptcha, you will not be able to use the form protected by the captcha. Alternatively, you can always use our other contact options (e.g. post or e-mail).
You may withdraw your consent at any time. You can find more detailed information about withdrawing your consent either when giving such consent or at the end of this privacy policy.

Cookies can for such purposes be set both by the website itself and by external web services. Cookies are set by our website or the external web services in order to maintain full functionality of our website, to improve usability or to pursue the purpose specified with your consent.

Should any other legal basis under the GDPR be specified (e.g. for the performance of a contract or for compliance with legal obligations), the cookie is stored or set on the basis of an exception in accordance with Section 25 (2) TTDSG. This is the case “where the sole purpose of storing information on the end user’s terminal equipment or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored on the end user’s terminal equipment is to ensure the transmission of a communication over a public telecommunications network” or “where the storage of information on the end user’s terminal equipment or the access to information already stored on the end user’s terminal equipment is strictly necessary to enable the provider of a teleservice to provide a teleservice explicitly requested by the user”. The relevant legal basis can be found in the cookie table provided further down in this section. - Purpose of the data processing

Our cookies are stored until they are deleted in your browser or, if they are session cookies, until the session has expired. Details are given in the following table. - Option for objection and erasure
Should you so wish, you can set your browser in such a way as to generally prevent the setting of cookies. You can then either decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept cookies or you can accept cookies in principle.
