Analysis Advertising tracking Affiliate

Use of Google Analytics 4

We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google") on our website. Data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services to the website operator related to website use and internet use. The following information, among others, can be collected: IP address, date and time of the page view, click path, information about the browser you are using and the device you are using, visited pages, referrer URL (website via which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activities. Your data may be linked by Google with other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices, and any other data that Google has about you.

The IP address is shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Google uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser, and tracking pixels that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The use of cookies or comparable technologies takes place with your consent on the basis of § 25 (1) sentence 1 TDDDG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

The processing of your personal data takes place with your consent on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the withdrawal.

In this context, we also use the Google Signals service. Google Signals enables cross-device tracking. Your data can therefore be analyzed across devices if you have activated "personalized advertising" in your account settings and your devices are linked to your Google account. This makes it possible to recognize which device you used to search for products and later returned to complete purchases on another device, such as a tablet.

The cross-device reports generated in this context contain only aggregated data. We therefore only receive statistics generated on the basis of Google Signals. To prevent data collection and storage by Google Signals across devices, you can deactivate the "personalized ads" function in your Google account settings. Further information on this can be found at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en (https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=en).
More detailed information on data processing and data protection regarding Google Signals can be found at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=en).
We use the advanced implementation of Consent Mode (Advanced Consent Mode). In this process, user data is transmitted to Google in the form of "pings" even if consent has not been given. These pings may contain the following information, among others: IP address for deriving the IP country (the IP address is not logged), date and time of the page view, URL of the pages visited, user agent, referrer URL (website via which our website was accessed), or information about triggering website events such as a conversion. On the basis of this information, Google performs modeling of user data in order to be able to carry out a comprehensive usage analysis despite the refusal of consent.

The information generated in this way about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. For the USA, there is an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Google is certified under the DPF and has thus committed itself to complying with European data protection principles. Both Google and US government authorities have access to your data.
