4. Analytics Tools (Tracking Tools)

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. We use these tracking measures to ensure that our website is designed to meet your needs and to continuously optimize it. Additionally, we use these tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offering for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision. The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.

a. Google Analytics

In order to tailor our website to user needs and continuously optimize it, the website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies are used. These are small text files that are stored on your device and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of this website, such as

• Browser type/version,
• operating system used,
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
• Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address),
• Time of the server request,

are transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

This information is used to analyze website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage for the purposes of market research and to tailor the design of this website to user needs.

This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be combined with other data held by Google. IP addresses are anonymized so that they cannot be linked to specific users (IP masking).

You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all of this website’s features to their full extent.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

As an alternative to the browser add-on—especially for browsers on mobile devices—you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking this link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is valid only in this browser and only for our website, and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.

For more information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics, please refer to the Google Analytics Help Center (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).

b. Google AdSense

This website uses Google AdSense, a service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”) for displaying advertisements. Google AdSense uses “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer that enable the analysis of how the website is used. Google AdSense also uses web beacons (invisible images). These web beacons allow information such as visitor traffic on these pages to be analyzed. The information generated by cookies and web beacons regarding the use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of ad formats is transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. This information may be shared by Google with its contractual partners. However, Google will not associate your IP address with any other data it holds. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

By using this website, you consent to the processing of data collected about you by Google in the manner described above and for the purposes set forth above.

c. Google +1

Collection and Sharing of Information: You can use the Google +1 button to share information worldwide. Through the Google +1 button, you and other users receive personalized content from Google and our partners. Google stores both the fact that you have given a +1 to a piece of content and information about the page you were viewing when you clicked +1. Your +1s may appear as recommendations alongside your profile name and photo in Google services, such as in search results or on your Google Profile, or in other places on websites and ads across the web. Google records information about your +1 activity to improve Google services for you and others. To use the Google +1 button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile that must include at least the name you selected for the profile. This name is used across all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name you used when sharing content via your Google Account. The identity of your Google profile may be visible to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.

Use of the collected information:

In addition to the purposes described above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with Google’s applicable privacy policies. Google may publish aggregated statistics about users’ +1 activity or share this information with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or affiliated websites.

d. Bing Universal Event Tracking (UET):

We use Microsoft’s Bing Universal Event Tracking (UET) on parts of our website (Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA). This allows us to compile statistics on the use of our website. In particular, it enables us to link transactions on our site to the ads we place through Microsoft and to better tailor our ads to our target audience.

To this end, Microsoft stores a so-called cookie in your browser. This cookie is not used for personal identification. The data collected through it is transmitted to a Microsoft server in the United States and stored there for 180 days. You can prevent the UET cookie from being stored by disabling cookies entirely in your browser settings or, at the very least, by refusing third-party cookies. If you only wish to prevent the use of Microsoft tracking cookies, you can do so here: https://choice.microsoft.com/de-de/opt-out

For more information, please refer to Microsoft's Privacy Statement: https://privacy.microsoft.com/de-de/privacystatement/

6. Social Media Plug-ins

On our website, we use social plugins from the social networks Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to raise awareness of our law firm. The underlying promotional purpose is considered a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. Responsibility for ensuring compliance with data protection regulations lies with the respective providers. We integrate these plugins using the so-called two-click method to provide the best possible protection for visitors to our website.

a. Facebook

Our website incorporates plugins from the social network Facebook, located at 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like” button on our site. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When you visit our website, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. This informs Facebook that you have visited our site using your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like” button while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our website to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit to our website with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of this website, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Facebook. For more information, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php. If you do not want Facebook to associate your visit to our website with your Facebook account, please log out of your Facebook account.

We use the “Visitor Action Pixel” (also known as the “Facebook Conversion Pixel”) provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”) on our website.

This allows the provider to track users’ behavior after they have been redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This process is used to evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes and can help optimize future advertising campaigns.

The data collected is anonymous to us, meaning we cannot use it to identify individual users. However, Facebook stores and processes this data, which allows it to link the data to the respective user profile and use it for its own advertising purposes in accordance with Facebook’s Data Use Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). You can allow Facebook and its partners to display advertisements on and off Facebook. A cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes.

b. Twitter

Our website incorporates plugins from the Twitter Inc. (Twitter) microblogging network. You can recognize the Twitter plugins (tweet buttons) by the Twitter logo on our site. You can find an overview of tweet buttons here (https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons).

When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server. This informs Twitter that you have visited our site using your IP address. If you click the Twitter “Tweet” button while logged into your Twitter account, you can link the content of our pages to your Twitter profile. This allows Twitter to associate your visit to our pages with your user account. Please note that, as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or how it is used by Twitter.

If you do not want Twitter to be able to track your visit to our site, please log out of your Twitter account.

For more information, please see Twitter’s Privacy Policy(https://twitter.com/privacy).

You can tell whether a specific page of our website is being transmitted securely by the closed key or lock icon displayed in the status bar at the bottom of your browser.

We also employ appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
