Cookies are used to provide our website. Cookies are small text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via a web browser; in other words, the cookies are stored on your device and are used to recognize your device.
By using cookies, we can provide you with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without them.
Cookies allow us to optimize the information and content on our website to better serve our users. As mentioned earlier, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to navigate our website.

Google Ireland Limited is therefore the Google affiliate responsible for processing your data and ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws. Data processing is carried out for the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors, as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. To this end, Google will use the information collected on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide the website operator with other services related to website and internet usage. The following information, among other things, may be collected: IP address, date and time of the page view, click path, information about the browser and device you are using, pages visited, referrer URL (the website from which you accessed our website), location data, and purchase activities. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google. Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, in-browser web storage, and tracking pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated in this way regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. IP anonymization is enabled on this website. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. Google has obtained certification under the U.S.-EU Privacy Shield Framework and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection guidelines. Data processing, in particular the use of cookies, is carried out with your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to withdrawal.

Use of Google Ads and Conversion Tracking
We have integrated Google Ads into this website and use conversion tracking (visit action analysis) in this context. Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). If you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the data controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the Google affiliate responsible for processing your data and complying with applicable data protection laws. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is stored on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity period, do not contain any personal data, and therefore cannot be used to identify you personally. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, it is not possible to track cookies across the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics. This allows us to determine the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. Your data may be transferred to the United States. Google has obtained certification under the U.S.-EU Privacy Shield framework and is therefore committed to complying with European data protection guidelines. Data processing, in particular the use of cookies, is carried out with your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to withdrawal. You also have the option to opt out of interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, you must visit the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the web browsers you use and configure the desired settings there.

Use of Google Maps
On our website, we use Google Maps to display our location and to provide directions. Google Maps is a mapping service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). If you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the data controller responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the Google affiliate responsible for processing your data and complying with applicable data protection laws.

When you access the Google Maps component embedded in our website, Google stores a cookie on your device via your web browser.

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in optimizing the functionality of our website.
Through the connection to Google established in this way, Google can determine from which website your request was sent and to which IP address the directions should be sent. If you do not consent to this processing, you have the option to prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting the settings in your web browser. For more details, see the section titled “Cookies” above.
