Google Analytics:

If you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). The use includes the operation mode “Universal Analytics”. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user’s activities across devices. This privacy notice is provided by www.intersoft-consulting.de.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. In the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended by IP anonymization to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. For more information on terms of use and data privacy, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.

Use of social plugin Facebook:

This website uses the social plugin from Facebook. The plugin is marked with the corresponding logos. When you call up this plugin by clicking on the respective button, a connection is established, e.g. to the Facebook servers. This means that data is transferred to a non-European third country. This transmits to the Facebook server which of our web pages you have visited. If you are logged in as a Facebook member, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When you click the “Recommend” button, this information is assigned to your Facebook account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plugin. For more information about the collection and use of data by Facebook, about your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy. If you do not want Facebook to associate the visit to our pages with your Facebook user account

When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
