4. COOKIES/TECHNICAL TOOLS


COOKIES

Cookies are occasionally used on our website. Cookies are small text files which, provided that the storage of cookies is activated in your browser, are placed on your computer and stored by your browser. Cookies cannot be directly assigned to specific persons and do not contain any personal data. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. You can configure your browser settings as you wish, for instance, if you do not want cookies to be stored on your computer, to refuse the acceptance of cookies, in whole or in part. Previously stored cookies can also be deleted by making changes to your browser’s system settings. We would point out that the deactivation or deletion of cookies may mean that you will not be able to use all the functions of this website.

4.1 USE OF THE USERCENTRICS CONSENT TOOL
 

For the purpose of obtaining effective consent from website visitors, we use the consent tool/the consent management service of Usercentrics GmbH.
Further information on the use and purpose of the consent tool can be accessed directly via the consent tool, which is made accessible to you when you first call up the website and can then be accessed at any time via the fingerprint icon displayed on the website.

The legal basis for the data processing carried out in the context of the use of the consent tool is Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest). The processing serves our legitimate interest in displaying our site in a legally compliant manner and is therefore necessary for the operation of the website.

4.2 USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS


If you have declared your consent, we use the web analytics service Google Analytics 4 to optimally tailor the content of the website to the needs of our visitors. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent). 
Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google Ireland Limited for the use of Google Analytics. In the event that personal data is transferred from Google Ireland Limited to the USA, Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC have concluded standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 par. 2 lit. c GDPR. 
Google Analytics uses cookies, which are stored on your device and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website will be transmitted to Google. According to the information provided by Google at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052?hl=de, no logging and storage of IP addresses takes place.
As part of the evaluation, Google Analytics also uses artificial intelligence for automated analysis and enrichment of the data. For example, Google Analytics models conversions if not enough data is available to optimize the evaluation and reports. Data evaluations are automated using artificial intelligence or based on specific individually defined criteria.
Information on this can be found in documentation published by Google, which can be accessed via the following links:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/10710245 
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9443595
The data processing is essentially carried out by Google. The transmitted information is used by Google to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. Google further uses the collected data for profiling purposes and combines it with other data of the user such as search history, personal accounts, usage data of other devices and any other data Google has on this user. 
A transfer to Google contractual partners as well as a data transfer to Google servers in the USA cannot be excluded on our part.
In the case of data processing taking place in the USA, there is a risk that an appropriate level of protection for the processing of personal data in accordance with European law pursuant to the GDPR cannot be consistently ensured. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that, due to laws applicable in the USA, access to personal data processed by the service provider may also be granted to US government agencies.

4.3 Use of Google Tag Manager


For reasons of transparency, we would point out that we use Google Tag Manager on our website. Google Tag Manager is a service of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
Google Tag Manager is a solution with which operators of websites can integrate and manage website tags via a uniform interface. Tags are small sections of code that, for example, record the activities of visitors on our website (tracking) and can originate both from Google internal services, such as Google Analytics, and from comparable services of other companies. Google Tag Manager itself, which implements the website tags, does not place any cookies or collect or process personal data.
Even if Google Tag Manager is used, the processing of website tags of the tracking services implemented on our website only takes place if the user has consented to the processing.

4.4 Use of Leadinfo


If you have opted to “Accept everything” in the privacy settings of the consent tool or have declared your consent via the individual settings of the consent tool in the “Marketing” category, we will use the lead generation service from Leadinfo. This recognizes visits to our website based on IP addresses and shows us publicly available information about the IP addresses, such as company names, telephone numbers or addresses of companies, via the Leadinfo dashboard available to us.
The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) GDPR (consent).
You can revoke your consent to the use of the consent tool at any time with effect for the future. The consent tool can be accessed at any time via the fingerprint icon displayed on the website.
Leadinfo’s lead generation service is a service provided by Leadinfo B.V., based in the Netherlands. In addition to the recognition of the IP addresses of visitors to the website, first-party cookies are used to generate additional transparency for us about how visitors use our website. These cookies are not linked to other information.

The data processing is mainly carried out by the provider of the services, Leadinfo B.V.. Immediately after the Leadinfo systems have received an IP address, matching company data are requested and displayed in the Leadinfo dashboard. The IP addresses themselves are not displayed or stored in the Leadinfo dashboard available to us. 
If you should decide that your data are no longer to be collected via Leadinfo’s lead generation service, you can send an e-mail to info@leadinfo.com to remove your IP address from the Leadinfo database.
When the lead generation service from Leadinfo is used, the following cookies and comparable technical tools are used:
Name, Provider/access, Purpos, Storage period, Type
_li_id.xxxx, Leadinfo BV, A first party cookie to determine if the visitor is a new visitor or a returning visitor, Current session, Cookie
_li_ses.xxxx, Leadinfo BV, A first party cookie to determine which pages have been visited during their session, 2 years, Cookie

4.5 Google Ads

If you have declared your consent, we use the online marketing process Google Ads to advertise our products and services. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent). You can revoke your consent via the consent tool at any time with effect for the future. The consent tool can be accessed via the fingerprint symbol displayed on the website.

Google Ads is a service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google Ireland Limited for the use of Google Ads. In the event that personal data is transferred from Google Ireland Limited to the USA, Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC have concluded standard contractual clauses pursuant to Art. 46 par. 2 lit. c GDPR.

The remarketing function used within the Google Ads service is used to place ads in the Google advertising network (e.g. in search results, in videos, on websites, etc.) so that they are displayed specifically to users who are presumed to be interested in the ads. For these purposes, so-called (re-) marketing-tags are integrated and executed directly by Google on our and other websites on which the Google advertising network is active. In this way, an individual cookie or similar technical tool is stored on the user's device, which serves to recognize the browser. In addition to the cookie or comparable technical tool, Google generally stores which websites the user has visited and which content/offers they were interested in. Beyond that further technical information, e.g. about the browser and operating system, referring websites and visiting times.

The additional use of Google Ads Conversion can also be used to track how many website visitors perform actions resulting from an ad on the basis of a conversion cookie. The evaluation is possible via so-called conversion statistics, which are created by Google. However, as the website operator, we can only see the anonymous total number of users who clicked on an ad and were redirected to a website with a conversion tracking tag. It is therefore not possible for us to personally identify the website visitors via the conversion statistics.

The data processing is essentially carried out by Google. The information generated by the cookies and comparable technical tools, including the user's IP address, is processed by Google so that the information can be merged with other data stored by you at Google. A transfer to Google contractual partners as well as a data transfer to Google servers in the USA cannot be excluded on our part.

In the case of data processing taking place in the USA, there is a risk that an appropriate level of protection for the processing of personal data in accordance with European law pursuant to the GDPR cannot be consistently ensured. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that, due to laws applicable in the USA, access to personal data processed by the service provider may also be granted to US government agencies.

The data transferred to Google is automatically deleted after 30 days. The deletion of data whose retention period has been reached takes place automatically once every 30 days.

4.6 YouTube

If you have declared your consent, you have the option of watching videos on our website via the YouTube service operated by Google. The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 par. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent). The operator of the service is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The YouTube videos are integrated in extended data protection mode, i.e. no data about you as a user is transferred to YouTube if you don't play the videos. The data will only be transmitted once you have given us your consent to do so.

When you access our website, you have the option to declare your consent to data processing via YouTube using the consent tool. If you do not declare your consent, information about the processing of your data in the event of a video call-up will be displayed on the display area of the video. You cannot start the video until you have declared your consent to data processing. You can revoke your consent via the consent tool at any time with effect for the future. The consent tool can be accessed via the fingerprint symbol displayed on the website.

When you start the video, your IP address is transmitted to YouTube. If you are logged in to YouTube, this information will also be assigned to your user account (you can prevent this by logging out of YouTube before watching the video). YouTube stores your data as usage profiles and can use them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) for the purpose of providing needs-based advertising.

A transfer to contractual partners of Google/YouTube as well as a data transfer to Google/YouTube servers in the USA cannot be excluded on our part. In the case of data processing taking place in the USA, there is a risk that an appropriate level of protection for the processing of personal data in accordance with European law pursuant to the GDPR cannot be consistently ensured. Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that, due to laws applicable in the USA, access to personal data processed by the service provider may also be granted to US government agencies.

6. SECURITY


In order to protect the personal data stored by us from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons, we have taken appropriate technical and organisational measures. The adequacy of the protective measures is constantly reviewed and adapted to new safety standards.
On our website we use the secure online transmission method known as Transport Layer Security (TLS) transmission. You can recognize this by the fact that an “s” is appended to the address component http:// (“https://”) or a closed lock symbol is displayed. By clicking on the icon, you will receive information about the certificate used. The way the symbol is displayed depends on the browser version you are using. TLS encryption ensures the confidential transmission of your data.
