Privacy policy regarding the application and use of Google AdSense
On this website, the person responsible for data processing has integrated Google AdSense. Google AdSense is an online service that enables advertising to be placed on third-party websites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects the advertisements displayed on third-party websites based on the content of the respective third-party website. Google AdSense enables Internet users to be targeted based on their interests, which is implemented by generating individual user profiles.
The operating company of the Google AdSense component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
The purpose of the Google AdSense component is to integrate advertisements on our website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the IT system of the data subject. Cookies have already been explained. By setting the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the use of our website.
With each access to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google AdSense component is integrated, the Internet browser on the IT system of the data subject will automatically transmit data to Alphabet Inc. by means of the Google AdSense component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. In the course of this technical procedure, the company Alphabet Inc. receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which the company Alphabet Inc. uses, among other things, to record the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to create commission statements.
As already explained, the data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by making the appropriate settings in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the Internet browser used would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, cookies already set by Alphabet Inc. can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, Google AdSense uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in web pages to enable log file recording and log file analysis, which can be used to carry out statistical evaluations. Using the embedded tracking pixels, Alphabet Inc. can determine whether and when a website was opened by a data subject and which links were clicked by the data subject. Tracking pixels are used, among other things, to analyze the flow of visitors to a website.
Through Google AdSense, personal data and information, including the IP address, which is necessary for the collection and billing of the advertisements displayed, is transferred to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. This personal data is stored and processed in the United States of America. Alphabet Inc. may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
Google AdSense is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de/adsense/start/ .
Data protection provisions on the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) has been integrated into this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on which website a person came from (so-called referrers), which subpages were visited or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
For web analysis using Google Analytics, the website operator uses the application “_gat. _anonymizeIp”. Using this application, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if our Internet pages are accessed from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us on the activities on our websites and to provide other services relating to the use of our website.
Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies was explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically send data to Google via the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. As part of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently create commission statements.
The cookie is used to store personal data, such as the access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. With each visit to our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the user, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on the personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as already explained above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to their use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Google and of preventing such collection. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout . This browser add-on informs Google Analytics using JavaScript that no data and information relating to visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is regarded by Google as an objection. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Further information and Google’s applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html .
