Cookies serve to recognise a previously visited website by a particular browser and to optimise the website. If you do not agree to the use of cookies, you can change this by adjusting your browser settings accordingly.

(2) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. We would like to point out that the Google Analytics code on this website has been extended by the “anonymizeIP” feature, which ensures an anonymised collection of IP addresses. As a result, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area prior to transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

Google will use this information on our behalf 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. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full.

If you have a Facebook user account and this can be recognised by existing Facebook cookies, a non-personal checksum is generated. This is used for analysis and marketing purposes and transmitted to Facebook. In addition, we transmit your e-mail addresses in encrypted form to Facebook.

(2) Google AdWords & Conversion Tracking

For more information on the cookie technology used, see Google’s information on website statistics and the privacy policies (http://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html and http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/).

This cookie technology provides Google and us with information about clicks on the ad and redirection to our website. This information is used exclusively for statistical analysis and ad optimisation. The statistics include the total number of users who clicked on our ad and, if applicable, whether they were forwarded to one of our pages marked with a conversion tag. Using these statistics we can determine which search terms led to increased clicks on our ads and which ad led to a contact via the contact form.

You have the option to disable the use of cookies by Google (https://www.google.com/settings/u/0/ads/authenticated) or by a third party (http://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/).
