4. ANALYSIS OF USER BEHAVIOR
4.1. GOOGLE ANALYTICS
We use the services of Google Analytics on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA („Google“).
Google Analytics uses tracking code and „cookies,“ small text files that are stored on the device you use and allow for an analysis of your use of our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization „anonymizeIp,“ your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
We use Google’s web analytics service to design our website to meet the needs of users, continuously improve and optimize it. On our behalf, Google uses the data and information collected to evaluate your use of our website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to the use of our website and the internet. These purposes constitute the legitimate interests we pursue with data processing according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all the features of our website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of our website (including your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via the following link:
http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
For more information on terms of use and privacy, see:
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html and https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/
You can change your Google Analytics cookie settings at any time via the „Cookie Settings“ link. If the cookie is disabled, you do not consent to its use, and its function will no longer be performed. Please note that disabling the cookie may limit the functionality of our website, meaning you may not be able to use all the features.
4.2. GOOGLE ADWORDS CONVERSION TRACKING
We also use Google Adwords Conversion Tracking on our website, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA („Google“).
Google Adwords uses tracking code and „cookies,“ small text files stored on your device if you accessed our website through a Google ad. The cookie expires after 30 days. If you revisit our website within these 30 days, Google can recognize that you clicked on a Google ad and were redirected to our website.
The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.
We use Google’s web analytics service to statistically capture the use of our website and continuously improve and optimize it. On our behalf, Google uses the collected data and information to evaluate your use of our website and generate reports (so-called conversion statistics) for us. The conversion statistics tell us how many users clicked on our ad and were redirected to our website that was tagged with a conversion tracking tag.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to fully use all the features of our website.
For more information on privacy, visit:

You can change your settings for the Google Adwords Conversion Tracking cookie at any time via the „Cookie Settings“ link. If the cookie is disabled, you do not consent to its use, and its function will no longer be performed. Please note that disabling the cookie may limit the functionality of our website, meaning you may not be able to use all the features.
5. SOCIAL MEDIA PLUGINS
On our website, based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, social media plugins („Plugins“) of the social networks LinkedIn and Xing („Providers“) are integrated. To increase the protection of your data when visiting our website, we implement the plugins using the so-called „2-click solution.“ This integration ensures that no connection is established with the providers‘ servers when you access our website. Only when you activate the plugins and thus consent to the transmission of data will your browser establish a direct connection to the providers‘ servers.
