This website uses Google Analytics and Google Remarketing, services provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google uses cookies to analyze website usage. The information generated by the cookie (including your IP address) is transmitted to and stored on Google servers in the USA. The IP address is shortened by Google so that direct identification is no longer possible. Google complies with applicable data protection regulations and participates in relevant programs.

Google uses this information to evaluate website usage, compile reports, and provide related services. It may also share data with third parties where required by law or where third parties process data on its behalf.

Third parties, including Google, use cookies to display ads based on prior visits to this website. Google does not combine your IP address with other Google data. You may opt out of data collection at any time by adjusting browser settings or using opt-out tools provided by Google and the Network Advertising Initiative. However, some website functions may be limited as a result. By using this website, you consent to the processing of your data by Google as described above.

Depending on the selected payment method, data may be transferred to payment service providers solely for payment processing.

Processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract performance).

8 Transfer of data to the USA and other third countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries with lower data protection standards. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred and processed in these countries. These countries may not offer the same level of protection as the EU. In particular, US authorities may access data without effective legal remedies for individuals. We have no influence over these processing activities.
