We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, does not store cookies, and does not perform independent analyses. It only serves to manage and trigger the tools integrated through it. However, the Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may be transmitted to Google’s parent company in the United States.
The use of Google Tag Manager is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing will be carried out exclusively under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

#### Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics allows website operators to analyze user behavior. This includes data such as page views, time spent on pages, operating systems used, and user origin. These data are aggregated into a user ID and linked to the user’s device.
Furthermore, with Google Analytics, we can track mouse movements, scrolling behavior, and clicks. Google Analytics uses machine learning technologies and modeling approaches to supplement collected datasets.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable user re-identification for analytical purposes (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). Information about the use of this website collected by Google is generally transmitted to and stored on servers in the United States.
The use of Google Analytics is based on your consent under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data transfer to the United States is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Further details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.
**IP Anonymization:** IP anonymization in Google Analytics is enabled. Your IP address is truncated by Google within the member states of the European Union or other contracting parties to the European Economic Area agreement before transmission to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a server in the United States and truncated there.
Further information on Google Analytics and data protection rights can be found here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
