This website uses Google Analytics.

When you accept the use of Google Services Cookies category at our website, Google Analytics collects information about your behavior.

The information collected by Google Analytics helps us to understand who visits our website, and how visitors use our website, which may result in changes on our website and to our advertising campaigns. This service can also help build targeted advertising campaigns (e.g. remarketing ads), by exchanging data between Google Analytics and Google Ads. To learn more, please visit the following pages: https://policies.google.com/technologies/cookies, https://policies.google.com/technologies/types, https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites and https://policies.google.com/privacy.

We use the advanced functionality offered by Google Analytics including, but not limited to:

  • Google signals: Google Analytics associate visitor’s information it collects from our website site and/or apps with Google information from accounts of signed-in users who have consented to this association for the purpose of ads personalization. This Google information may include end user location, search history, YouTube history, and data from sites that partner with Google—and is used to provide aggregated and anonymized insights into cross device behaviors of our users (learn more at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/9445345, https://myactivity.google.com/myactivity).
  • Granular location and device data collection: metadata about the city-level location and granular device details.
  • Personalized advertising: to export our Google Analytics audiences and conversions to our linked ads accounts for the purpose of delivering relevant, personalized experiences to our end users and improve the efficiency of our advertising.

This functionality helps us to collect detailed information about the audiences of visitors of our website and make necessary improvements to our website and advertising campaigns.

This website uses the Remarketing functionality of various Google Services.

The remarketing function analyzes your behavior on our website (e.g. clicking on certain products) in order to classify you in certain advertising target groups and subsequently show suitable advertising messages to you when you visit other online content.

Furthermore, the advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked with Google’s cross-device functions. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC).

If you have a Google account, you can object to personalized advertising at the following link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
