Google Analytics is a web tracker that analyzes the behavior of site visitors and their interactions with our website and provides us with evaluations and forecasts about the content and products of our website and their popularity (so-called tracking). We have integrated Google Analytics so that the service can compile an analysis of the surfing behavior of site users. For this purpose, Google collects the page interactions of page visitors with our website and, if applicable, existing information resulting from the reading of cookies or other storage technologies and prepares it statistically for us. Google Analytics uses data processing technologies that make it possible to track individual site visitors and their interaction with other Google services, such as the Google Ads advertising network. Data from other Google services is also used to close data gaps using machine learning technologies, modeled statistics and forecasting functions and to compile comprehensive statistics on the content of our website. If Google Analytics is activated on our website, the data collected by Google Analytics is transferred to servers of Google Ireland Limited. As part of order processing, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of the parent company Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, 94043 Mountain View, United States. We carry out the analysis using Google Analytics in order to constantly optimize our website and make it more readily available. This is a so-called reach measurement.

Google Analytics will store the data relevant for the provision of web tracking for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the booked web service. Data collection and storage is anonymized. Insofar as individual interactions of site visitors make it possible to subsequently establish a personal reference to specific actions, we will delete the collected data when the purpose has been achieved. The data will be deleted at the latest when it is not subject to any statutory retention obligations. As a rule, we will delete this data after 12 months at the latest.

What personal data is collected and to what extent is it processed?

We integrate and use cookies on various pages to enable certain functions of our website and to integrate external web services. Cookies are small text files that your browser can store on your access device. These text files contain a characteristic string of characters that uniquely identifies the browser when you return to our website. The process of saving a cookie file is also referred to as “setting a cookie”. Cookies can be set both by the website itself and by external web services. The cookies are set by our website or the external web services in order to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve user-friendliness or to pursue the purpose stated with your consent. Cookie technology also enables us to recognize individual visitors by means of pseudonyms, e.g. individual or random IDs, so that we can offer more individual services. Details are listed in the table below.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as cookies are processed on the basis of consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, this consent is also deemed to be consent within the meaning of Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG for the setting of cookies on the user's terminal device. Insofar as another legal basis is stated under the GDPR (e.g. for the performance of a contract or to fulfill legal obligations), the storage or setting is based on an exception in accordance with Section 25 (2) TDDDG. This is the case “if the sole purpose of storing information in the end user's terminal equipment or the sole purpose of accessing information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is to carry out the transmission of a communication over a public telecommunications network” or “if the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is strictly necessary to enable the provider of a telemedia service to provide a telemedia service explicitly requested by the user”. The relevant legal basis can be found in the cookie table listed later in this section.

Purpose of the data processing

The cookies are set by our website or the external web services in order to maintain the full functionality of our website, to improve user-friendliness or to pursue the purpose stated with your consent.

Details are listed in the table below.

Duration of storage

Our cookies are stored until they are deleted in your browser or, if it is a session cookie, until the session has expired. Details are listed in the following table.

Objection and removal options

You can set your browser according to your wishes so that the setting of cookies is generally prevented. You can then decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept cookies or to accept cookies in principle. Cookies can be used for various purposes, e.g. to recognize that your access device is already connected to our website (permanent cookies) or to save recently viewed offers (session cookies). If you have expressly given us permission to process your personal data, you can revoke this consent at any time. Please note that this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

Data security and data protection, communication by email

Your personal data is protected by technical and organizational measures during collection, storage and processing in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties. In the case of unencrypted communication by e-mail, we cannot guarantee complete data security on the transmission path to our IT systems, so we recommend encrypted communication or the postal service for information requiring a high level of confidentiality.
