We use various services from Google to conduct marketing and analysis activities. These services include:
- Google Analytics 4: This web analytics service allows us to analyze user behavior on our website. Cookies are used to collect information about your use of the website. The IP address is anonymized so that direct identification is not possible.
- Google Tag Manager: This service allows us to manage and update tags on our website without having to change the source code.
- Google Conversion Linker: This service helps us track conversions across different devices and channels.
- Google Ads: We use Google Ads for our advertising campaigns.
- reCAPTCHA: This service protects our website from spam and abuse.
Google typically uses cookies to provide these services. The information collected by the cookies, including your IP address, is transferred to and stored on Google servers in Ireland or the USA. Google may process personal data for advertising purposes in any country where they have facilities.
We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google to ensure that your data is protected and not disclosed to unauthorized third parties. For data transfer to the USA, Google uses standard contractual clauses of the European Commission to ensure an adequate level of data protection.
For more information on the processing of personal data by Google and on privacy settings, please refer to Google's privacy policy.
Google Analytics 4 also uses the "demographics" feature to create statistics about the age, gender, and interests of page visitors. This information is obtained through the analysis of advertisements and third-party information. However, the collected data cannot be attributed to a specific person and is deleted after two months.
Google Tag Manager:
We use Google Tag Manager to integrate and manage Google's analysis and marketing services on our website. Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows tags to be created and monitored on our website without the need to write new code. The Tag Manager itself does not collect personal data as it is a cookie-less domain. However, it triggers other tags that may collect data. However, the Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If you have enabled deactivation at the domain or cookie level, this also applies to all tracking tags implemented through Google Tag Manager.
Google Ads:
On our website, we use the Google Ads online advertising program. If you come to our website via a Google ad, Google Ads sets a cookie on your device (a so-called "conversion cookie"). These cookies expire after 30 days and do not contain any personal data for identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie is still valid, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to the website. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked across Ads customers' websites.
The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. We do not receive any information that could personally identify you. The information collected by the cookie about your use of our website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA or Ireland and stored there. Based on the collected information, interest-based categories are assigned to your browser, which are used for interest-based advertising.
Through the use of Google Ads, we can reach users who have already visited our website. This allows us to target our advertising to audiences who have already shown interest in our products or services. If you have a Google account, you can opt-out of personalized advertising at the link provided.

Google Conversion Linker:
We use the functions of Google Conversion Tracking on our website. This allows us and Google to recognize whether users have taken certain actions. For example, we can analyze how often certain buttons have been clicked or which products are particularly popular. This information helps us create conversion statistics. However, we do not receive any information that allows us to personally identify the user. Google uses cookies or similar technologies for identification. For more information on Google Conversion Tracking, please refer to Google's privacy policy.
reCAPTCHA:
reCAPTCHA is a service from Google used to distinguish humans from computer programs. It is used to determine whether a specific action on the internet is performed by a human or a computer program. We use reCAPTCHA for double-opt-in for newsletter registration. For more information on data processing and privacy by reCAPTCHA, please refer to Google's terms of use and privacy policy.
