By sending your message, you consent to the processing of the data sent. The processing is based on your consent.

Use of Google Analytics
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google LLC on our website. (1600 Amphitheater 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 for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the Google affiliated company responsible for the processing of your data and compliance with applicable data protection laws.
The data processing serves for the analysis of this website and its visitors, as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use the information obtained to analyze 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 use.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google.
Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by this about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymization is activated on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be forwarded to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The use of cookies or similar technologies is based on § 15 par. 3 p. 1 TMG. The processing of your personal data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 par. 1 lit. f DSGVO due to our overriding legitimate interest in a demand-oriented and targeted design of the website.

Using Google Tag Manager
This website uses the Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through a single interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data. The instrument triggers other tags, which in turn can collect data. Google Tag Manager does not have access to this data. If a deactivation has been performed at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Using the remarketing or “similar audiences” feature of Google Inc.
We use the online advertising program “Google Ads” on our website and in this context conversion tracking (evaluation of visits). Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google LLC (1600 Amphitheater 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 for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the Google affiliated company responsible for the processing of your data and compliance with applicable data protection laws.
When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were forwarded to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore in no way be tracked on websites of Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics. This tells us the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, we do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
