Use of Google Maps

We use Google Maps on this website. Google Maps is operated by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter “Google”). This allows us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map function conveniently.
You can find more information about data processing by Google in the Google data protection information: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also change your personal data protection settings there in the data protection centre.

You can find detailed instructions on how to manage your own data in connection with Google products here: https://www.dataliberation.org

When you visit the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account.

If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of Google before activating the button. Google stores your data as user profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or customised design of its websites. Such an analysis is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

Revocation of consent:

The provider does not currently offer the option of simply opting out or blocking data transmission. If you wish to prevent your activities on our website from being tracked, please revoke your consent for the corresponding cookie category or all technically unnecessary cookies and data transmissions in the cookie consent tool. In this case, however, you may not be able to use our website or may only be able to use it to a limited extent.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads. Ads is an online advertising programme from Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

As part of Google Ads, we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click on an advert placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their advert and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” and the use of this tracking tool are based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.

You can find more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Google Tag Manager

The Google Tag Manager allows marketers to manage website tags via an interface. However, the Tag Manager itself, which uses the tags, works without cookies and does not collect any personal data. The Tag Manager merely triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Corresponding explanations for these respective third-party providers can be found in this privacy policy. However, the Google Tag Manager does not use this data. If you have set or otherwise deactivated cookies, this will be observed for all tracking tags used with Google Tag Manager, i.e. the tool will not change your cookie settings.

Google may ask you for permission to share some product data (e.g. your account information) with other Google products to enable certain features, such as making it easier to add new conversion tracking tags for ads. Google’s developers also review product usage information from time to time to further optimise the product. However, Google will never pass on this type of data to other Google products without your consent.

Further information can be found in Google’s terms of use and Google’s privacy policy for this product.

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Information about your right to object in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR

Individual right of objection

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests); this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4(4) GDPR.
