This website uses various services provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”) or, if you are a resident of the European Union, the European Economic Area or Switzerland, by Google Ireland Limited (registration number: 368047), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. In this section, we explain which specific services this website uses.
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google").
We use Google Analytics 4 with the aim of improving the services we provide, our website and direct advertising. For this purpose, we process the personal data of the visitors to our website. We analyze user behaviour in order to optimise both our website and our advertising activities.
The personal data that we process for the purpose of analysis include: the approximate location (region), the IP address (shortened), the technical information about the browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language settings, screen resolution), the internet provider of the website visitor, the referrer URL (the website or advertising medium that sent you to our website), device identifiers (brand, model and name of the device), the User-Agent string to identify the browser.
Google Analytics 4 starts processing your data when you visit the website and use one or more of the following functions (actions that trigger processing): download, registering for Info Days, Info Day download, clicking on "Apply", contact request, clicking on "Email", product enquiry, purchase, booking a seminar, requesting support, clicking on "Call".
Google will use this information to analyze how you use the website, to compile reports on advertising activities for us and to provide other services that are related to the use of the website. Google may also disclose this information to third parties if this is required by law or where such third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
As of Google Analytics 4, IP anonymization is integrated by default. Google will shorten your IP address if, based on geolocation, you are located in a member state of the European Union. This process takes place within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there. Transfer of the collected information to a third country without a sufficient level of security cannot be ruled out.
We will only process your personal data if you have given your consent. By giving your explicit consent to the transfer of data, you also agree that your data may be processed in the United States.
The personal information may also be passed on to contractual partners of Google. This includes, in particular, the following companies:
Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland,
Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
If you would like to generally disable Google Analytics, Google offers an add-on for Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari and Microsoft Edge which can be downloaded and installed under tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
Storage period: see "Change cookie settings" in the website footer. The user and event data will automatically be deleted after a period of 14 months.
We have concluded a contract for commissioned data processing with the service provider of Google Analytics 4 (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland), taking into account the EU standard contractual clauses.
