II. Web analytics
Use of the web analysis technology "
If you have given your consent, we use the web analysis technology "Google Analytics" using cookies.
Web analytics enables the collection and analysis of information about the activities of users of our website, including user interaction with embedded videos on our website. The information obtained helps us to improve our website and to better achieve the goals of our website (e.g. increasing page and video views).
When you visit our website, the web analysis tool Google Analytics collects information about your use of our website and stores it in a device-related profile. In order to be able to assign this information to your device, your device is assigned a unique ID that is linked to the device-related profile. This ID is stored in cookies (section C) on your device. During your visit to our website, your device can be recognized by the ID assigned to it.
Such an assignment can also be made via a link to your account with the respective provider (e.g. your Google account if you have activated personalized advertising there) instead of via the ID. In this way, actions that you have taken with different devices can also be assigned to you as a unique user and included in aggregated reports on the surfing behavior of our users.
Even without your consent, Google Analytics is only used to analyze access to our website. This enables us to recognize where visitors who have not given their consent come from (country, region and, if applicable, city) and which pages are opened and how often. No cookies are used and no profiles are created, so it is not possible to recognize whether different page views were made by the same person or by different people. Google Analytics uses this information to model the (supposed) behavior of our visitors on the basis of empirical values.

In addition, we only process the log data temporarily for the duration of the visit to our website. |

Web analysis (profile and cookie-based): Web analysis enables the collection and evaluation of information about the activities of users of our website. When you visit our website, including embedded videos on the website, the web analytics tools we use collect information about your use of our website and store it in a device-related profile. In order to associate this information with your device, your device is assigned a unique ID that is linked to the device-related profile. This ID is stored in cookies (section C) on your device.

Such an assignment can also be made via a link to your account with the respective provider (e.g. your Google account if you have activated personalized advertising there) instead of via the ID. In this way, actions that you take with different devices can also be assigned to you as a unique user and included in aggregated reports on the surfing behavior of our users.

In this way, we can anonymously recognize where visitors who have not given their consent come from (country, region and, if applicable, city) and which pages are opened and how often. No cookies are used and no profile is created, so it is not possible to recognize whether different page views were made by the same person or by different people. Our web analysis tools use this information to model the (presumed) behavior of our visitors on the basis of empirical values. Such modeled usage activities are added to the evaluations of the consent-based device-related profiles described above in order to obtain an (estimated) overall picture of our usage activities. We use the information obtained to improve our website and better achieve our website goals (e.g. increasing page and video views). |

III. Use of the marketing technologies GoogleAds and LinkedIn Insight Tag
If you have given your consent, we use marketing technologies from Google and LinkedIn for conversion tracking and remarketing on our website.
- "Conversions" are user activities on our website determined by us. "Conversion tracking" is a process that tracks what happens after you have interacted with our ads in search engines or on other websites. For example, we can see whether you have subsequently taken a certain action on our website.
If our ads are displayed to you in search engines or on other websites or if you interact with our ads, information about this may be collected (possibly depending on your consent to the respective website operator) and stored in a device-related profile. In order to be able to assign this information to your device, your device may be assigned a unique ID (possibly depending on your consent to the respective website operator), which is linked to the device-related profile. This ID may be stored in cookies (section C) on your device (possibly subject to your consent to the respective website operator). When you subsequently visit our website, the information stored in these cookies can be read. In this way, your device can be recognized using the ID and the information stored in the device-related profile about the viewing of our ads can be retrieved and further data stored using this ID. This enables us to collect information about the use of our website, in particular the "conversions" you have triggered.
Such an assignment can also be made by matching hashed contact information instead of the ID or, if applicable, via a link to your account with the respective provider (e.g. your Google account if you have activated personalized advertising). In this way, actions that you perform with different devices can also be assigned to you as a unique user.
This allows us to monitor which keywords, ads, ad groups and campaigns lead to the desired user actions. We can also understand how our return on investment (ROI) is generated and make more informed decisions about our advertising spend. We can also automatically optimize our advertising campaigns according to our business goals.
- "Remarketing" (or "retargeting") means that we can retarget users who have already interacted with our website, e.g. with ads in search engines or on other websites that participate in the same advertising networks as we do.
When you visit our website, information about your use of our website is collected and stored in a device-related profile. To associate this information with your device, your device is assigned a unique ID that is linked to the device-related profile. This ID is stored in cookies (section C) on your device. If you subsequently use search engines with the same device or visit other websites that participate in the same advertising network, your device can be recognized there based on the ID assigned to it (subject to your consent to the respective website operator, if applicable) and based on this ID of the stored information about the use of our website, including the assignment of your device-related profile to certain advertising segments. In this way, the provider of the remarketing tool we use can present our ads to you in a targeted manner. Such an assignment can also be made by matching hashed contact information instead of the ID or, if applicable, via a link to your account with the respective provider (e.g. your Google account if you have activated personalized advertising). In this way, actions that you perform with different devices can also be assigned to you as a unique user. In this way, the provider of the remarketing tool we use can present our ads to you in a targeted manner.
When you visit the relevant search engines or other websites that participate in the same advertising network, information about your use of the search engine or other website may be collected and added to your device-related profile (if applicable, depending on your consent to the respective website operator) to enable better personalization and optimization of the display of various advertisements.
Based on the information stored in your device-related profile, we and the provider of the respective remarketing tool we use can personalize our ads specifically for you.
Based on the information stored in your device-related profile, the provider of the remarketing tool we use also determines billing-relevant factors of the ad placement in order to be able to charge us for its services.
We are jointly responsible for the use of these marketing technologies on our website with the provider of the respective marketing technology. Any further processing of the data by the provider concerned for its own purposes or for the purposes of third parties is the sole responsibility of the provider. Information on joint responsibility and information on the privacy policies of the various providers can be found below.
