7 Website Analytics

For the purpose of analyzing and optimizing our websites, we use various services described below. For example, we can analyze how many users visit our site, which information is most requested, or how users find our offerings. We collect data such as from which website a user accessed ours (the so called referrer), which subpages were accessed, how often and for how long each subpage was viewed. This helps us design and improve our offerings in a user friendly manner.

7.1 Google Tag Manager

For transparency, we point out that we use Google Tag Manager. This is a tag management system for managing JavaScript and HTML tags used to implement tracking and analytics tools. This service is provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The controller for users in the EU/EEA is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The Google Tag Manager itself does not collect any personal data. The Tag Manager makes it easier for us to integrate and manage our tags. Tags are small code elements that are used, among other things, to measure traffic and visitor behavior, record the impact of online advertising and social channels, set up remarketing and audience targeting, and test and optimize websites. If you have opted for a deactivation, this deactivation will be taken into account by Google Tag Manager.

Recipients of the data are: Google Ireland Limited, EU; Google LLC, USA; Alphabet Inc., USA. If data is processed outside the EU/EEA, Google LLC has certified itself under the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program and is listed in the Data Privacy Framework list of the International Trade Administration (ITA). This means that Google LLC has publicly committed to complying with the DPF obligations, and any data transfer to the USA is considered unobjectionable based on the current adequacy decision of the European Commission dated July 10, 2023.

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time with future effect by scrolling to the bottom of the website and changing your Cookie Settings. The lawfulness of processing up to the withdrawal remains unaffected.

More information about Google Tag Manager: https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

7.2 Google Analytics

If you have provided consent, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google LLC.

For EU users, the service provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

Google Analytics uses cookies that allow an analysis of your use of our website. The information collected via cookies is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We use the User ID function, which allows us to assign one or more sessions (and the activities within them) to a unique, persistent ID and analyze user behavior across devices.

We use the "anonymizeIP" function (IP masking). With IP anonymization active, Google will shorten your IP address within EU member states or other EEA countries. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by your browser will not be combined with other Google data.

During your website visit, the following data are collected:

Pages visited and click path
Achievement of website goals (conversions, e.g., newsletter sign ups, downloads)
User behavior (clicks, dwell time, bounce rate)
Approximate location (region)
IP address (shortened)
Technical browser and device information (language settings, screen resolution)
Internet provider
Referrer URL (the website or advertisement that led you here)

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. The reports provided by Google Analytics are used to analyze the performance of our website and the success of our marketing campaign.

The recipient of the data is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, acting as a data processor. For this purpose, we have concluded a data processing agreement with Google.

Google LLC, based in California, USA, may also be able to access the data stored by Google. If data is processed outside the EU/EEA, Google LLC has certified itself under the Data Privacy Framework (DPF) program and is listed in the Data Privacy Framework list of the International Trade Administration (ITA). This means that Google LLC has publicly committed to complying with the DPF obligations, and any data transfer to the USA is considered unobjectionable based on the current adequacy decision of the European Commission dated July 10, 2023

The data we send and that is linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 365 days. Data whose retention period has expired is automatically deleted once a month.

You can also prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, this may result in limited functionality on this and other websites.

To prevent tracking by Universal Analytics across different devices, you must perform the opt-out on all systems you use. If you click here, the opt-out cookie will be set: <a href="javascript:gaOptout()"><strong>Disable Google Analytics</strong></a></p>[MM3].

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by opening the privacy settings at the bottom left (“shield”) and adjusting the toggle accordingly. Further information on the terms of use of Google Analytics and on data protection at Google can be found here: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and here: Google privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/?hl=de

7.3 Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Conversion Tracking provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you arrive at our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your device. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If a user visits certain pages on the advertiser’s website before the cookie expires, Google and the advertiser can determine that the user clicked the ad and reached the target page.

Each AdWords advertiser receives a unique cookie, meaning cookies cannot be tracked across advertiser websites. The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for advertisers who use conversion tracking. Advertisers learn the total number of users who clicked their ad and reached a conversion page but do not receive personally identifying information.

AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion-tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that would allow users to be personally identified.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking procedure, you can refuse the setting of the required cookie — for example, by configuring your browser to generally disable the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser so that cookies from the domain domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked.

Google’s Conversion Tracking privacy information: https://support.google.com/adwords/answer/1722022?hl=de

The legal basis for the processing is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You have the option to withdraw consent you have previously given with effect for the future by scrolling to the bottom of the website and clicking on “Cookie Settings” to make changes. The lawfulness of data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected.

7.4 Google Remarketing

We use the remarketing technology of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). The controller for users in the EU/the EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. This technology allows us to re‑engage users who have already visited our websites and online services and shown interest in our offerings by displaying targeted advertising on pages within the Google Partner Network. The advertisements are displayed through the use of cookies, which are small text files stored on the user’s computer. These text files make it possible to analyze user behavior during visits to the website and then use that information for targeted product recommendations and interest‑based advertising.

The cookies may be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com, or googleadservices.com. These files record which websites you have visited, which content you were interested in, and which offers you clicked on, as well as technical information about your browser and operating system, referring websites, visit time, and other details regarding your use of the online offering. Your IP address is also collected; however, in the context of Google Analytics, we note that the IP address is shortened within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there only in exceptional cases.

The IP address is not merged with your data within other Google services. The information mentioned above may also be combined by Google with information from other sources. When you subsequently visit other websites, advertisements tailored to your interests may be displayed to you.

We process your data within the framework of Google Marketing Services in a pseudonymous manner, meaning that Google does not store or process your name or email address, for example, but instead processes the relevant data on a cookie basis within pseudonymous user profiles. The information collected by Google Marketing Services about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google’s servers in the USA.

If you do not wish to receive interest-based advertising, you can disable the use of cookies by Google for these purposes by visiting https://www.google.de/settings/ads. Alternatively, users can disable the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the opt-out page of the Network Advertising Initiative.

By using our services, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner described here and for the purpose stated above. We would like to point out that Google has its own privacy policies, which are independent of ours. We assume no responsibility or liability for these policies and procedures. Please inform yourself about Google’s privacy policies before using our website.

If data is processed outside the EEA, where no level of data protection equivalent to the European standard exists, we have concluded EU Standard Contractual Clauses with the service provider to ensure an adequate level of data protection.

Further information on data use for marketing purposes by Google can be found on the overview page: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads, and Google’s privacy policy is available at .

The legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by opening the privacy settings and adjusting the toggle accordingly.

7.5 Google DoubleClick

If you have given your consent, the DoubleClick by Google online marketing tool is used on this website. The responsible service provider in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve reports on campaign performance, and to prevent users from seeing the same ads multiple times. For this purpose, Google records via a cookie ID which ads are displayed in which browser. This ensures that the same ad is not shown repeatedly. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so called conversions related to ads. This occurs, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later visits the advertiser’s website with the same browser and makes a purchase there.

When you access a page that uses DoubleClick and where the DoubleClick script is allowed, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server. Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate your visit with your account.

You can prevent tracking through this procedure in several ways:

By adjusting your browser settings accordingly. Blocking third party cookies will prevent you from receiving ads from third party providers.
By disabling cookies for conversion tracking, you prevent interest based advertising from being shown to you. To do this, you must block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” in your browser.
At https://www.google.de/settings/ads you can set an opt out cookie. However, this setting will be deleted if you delete all your cookies.
By disabling interest based ads from providers that are part of the “About Ads” self regulation program via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices , although this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies.
By permanently disabling cookies in your browser via the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent.

Further information about DoubleClick by Google can be found at https://www.google.de/doubleclick and https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2839090 , as well as general information about Google’s privacy practices at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at https://www.networkadvertising.org.

7.6 Lucky Orange

This website uses the Lucky Orange analytics service, operated by Lucky Orange LLC, 8665 W 96th St Suite #100, Overland Park, KS 66212, USA, to improve user-friendliness and the customer experience. Mouse clicks as well as mouse and scroll movements may be recorded. Keystrokes entered on this website may also be recorded. However, the recording is not personalized and therefore remains anonymous. Lucky Orange does not record data on pages that do not use the Lucky Orange system.

You can disable the Lucky Orange service at http://www.luckyorange.com/disable.php However, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent.

They are used to provide a uniform and appealing display of our online offerings in the interest of all visitors to this website. When you access this website, the browser you use will automatically load the required web font into your browser cache in order to correctly display the text and fonts. As a result, Fonticons, Inc. becomes aware that this website was accessed using your IP address. If you use a browser that does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.

The legal basis for the processing is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You have the option to withdraw consent you have previously given with effect for the future. The lawfulness of data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected.

This website uses Google Web Fonts to ensure a uniform display of fonts. Google Web Fonts is a service provided by Google Inc.

The processing of personal data cannot be fully ruled out when reviewing the linked company information.

Leadfeeder, as a cloud based software as a service solution, uses Amazon Web Services (https://aws.amazon.com)), including data centers both in the USA and in Europe (Ireland). For the use of Leadfeeder, we have concluded a data processing agreement pursuant to Article 28 GDPR with Liidio Oy/Leadfeeder Finland. Insofar as personal data is processed on servers outside the EU/EEA, e.g., in the USA, these data transfers are secured by the Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the EU Commission pursuant to Article 46 GDPR, which permit the transfer of personal data to the USA in specific cases. In addition, we have ensured through additional measures that your rights in the third country enjoy a level of protection equivalent to that in the EU.

The legal basis for the processing and storage of the data is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.

The operators of the following channels share joint responsibility with us:

Facebook

Where our influence over data processing ends, the limits of our responsibility are reached. At these points, it is not possible for us to influence the data processing carried out by the operator of the channel. We therefore cannot provide information on which personal data is processed by them.

For further details on the processing of the collected personal data and options for objection, we refer to the respective privacy policies of the channel operators:

8.2 Data Processing by Us

Data you provide directly—such as comments, videos, images, likes, and public messages—on our social media channels may be published by the platforms. We process these only for the purposes described below.

Personal data transmitted to us via private messages on social media, such as documents or contact details, will not be published by us. However, it cannot be excluded that the platform operator processes or publishes such data.

We also note that we do not wish to receive job applications via messaging services like Facebook Messenger, as adequate protection of your personal data cannot be guaranteed.

We reserve the right to delete content if necessary. We may also share your content on our page if this is a supported feature of the platform and legally permissible. We may also communicate with you directly via the platform.

Legal basis for our data processing in the context of social media channels: Article 6(1)(f) GDPR — our legitimate interest in public relations and modern communication.

Some social media providers are located in the USA and other countries outside the EU and the EEA. The data may therefore also be processed in countries outside the EU and the EEA by the provider of the respective platform. We would like to point out that companies in these countries may be subject to data protection laws that do not provide the same level of protection for your personal data as those in the member states of the EU.

We would also like to point out that we have no influence on the scope, type, and purpose of data processing by the provider of the social media platform. Further information on the processing of your data by the social media providers can be found in the privacy policy of the respective platform provider.

8.3 Data Processing by Social Media Platforms

On our website, you will find links to our company profiles on various social media platforms. You can recognize links to the social media services by the respective company logos, for example. If you follow these links, you will be directed to our company profile on the corresponding social media platform. When you click on such a link, a connection is established to the platform's servers. This transmits the information to the platform’s servers that you have visited our website.

Additionally, further data may be transferred to the platform provider, including:

Address of the website where the link was clicked
Date and time of the call or link activation
Browser and operating system information
IP address

We expressly point out that the social media provider stores user data (e.g., IP address, preferences and personal interests, behavior on the platform, any personal information stored on the platform, etc.) and uses it for commercial purposes.

We also draw your attention to the fact that the respective operator of the social media platform uses web tracking methods. Furthermore, we point out that such web tracking may occur regardless of whether you are logged in and/or registered on the social media platform. We are not able to influence the web tracking methods of the platforms. If, for example, you wish to deactivate web tracking, you must do so on the respective operator’s website.

If you are a member of the social media channels and are logged into your user account, the social media provider may associate your visit to our page with your user account. If you want to prevent the provider from linking data about your visit to our fan page with the membership data stored on the platform, you must:

Log out of the social media platform before visiting our page
Delete any social media cookies stored on your device
Close and restart your browser

In this way, according to the social media providers, all information through which you can be identified by them is deleted.

It cannot be ruled out that the provider of the social media platform may use your data to create a profile about you and thereby generate, for example, tailored advertising for you.

In cases where we are jointly responsible for processing together with the operator, you can find the essential information on the joint processing of your data here:

Facebook Terms of Use of Meta, the other conditions and policies listed there, and the agreement on joint controller controllership

Instagram The terms of use of Instagram and, since Instagram is a service provided by Meta, the Meta policies and agreements described above also apply.

9 Social Plugins

9.1 General Information

This website uses so called social plugins (referred to as “buttons” below) from social networks such as Facebook, LinkedIn, X Corp, YouTube, and others. When you visit our website, these buttons are deactivated by default. This means that no data is sent to the social networks. To activate such a button, you must first click on it. The button will then remain active until you deactivate it again and/or delete the associated cookies (see the section “Cookies and IP addresses” above). Once you have activated a button, a direct connection to the server of the social network is established, and content is exchanged between the button and the social network.

Censhare has no influence on the type or amount of data transmitted to the social networks after the buttons are activated. Please refer to the privacy and data protection policies of the respective social network. If you are registered with and logged into a social network, your visit to the Censhare website may be linked to your user account on that social network as soon as you click the button. If you do not want this information to be linked to your user account on the social network, you should log out of the network before using the button on our website.

9.2 LinkedIn Insight Tag

The Insight Tag is a conversion tracking and retargeting service. It provides us with information about our website users and enables us to display personalized advertisements to these users on LinkedIn. In addition, we receive pseudonymized reports on the performance of the advertisements as well as information about website interactions. When the LinkedIn Insight Tag is triggered upon visiting our website, a connection to the LinkedIn server is established. If you visit this website while simultaneously being logged into your LinkedIn account, LinkedIn can identify you. If you want to prevent this, you must log out of LinkedIn before accessing the website. If you are logged into LinkedIn, you can disable data collection at any time via the following link:

https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/enhanced-advertising

The Insight Tag collects the following data:

Device information
IP address
Referrer URL
Timestamp
Time zone
Browser information
Ad visibility
Ad clicks
Conversion tracking
User network
User agent
Language
Visited webpage

The IP addresses are shortened or—if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices—hashed (pseudonymized). LinkedIn uses the data as part of its own advertising activities. You can find details in LinkedIn’s privacy policy at: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig

Data retention:

The data is deleted after 90 days. The identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. Data recipients:

Data recipients:

LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company (EU)
LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, USA

LinkedIn stores the collected personal data on its servers in the USA. On July 10, the European Commission adopted its adequacy decision for the EU US Data Privacy Framework. LinkedIn Corporation is certified under the EU US Data Privacy Framework. This means that LinkedIn Corporation has publicly committed to complying with the DPF obligations, and any data transfer to the USA is considered unobjectionable based on the current adequacy decision of the European Commission dated July 10, 2023. A transfer to Singapore is also possible. The legal basis for the transfer is the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC).

The use of the LinkedIn Insight Tag is based on your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future by scrolling to the bottom of the website and clicking on “Cookie Settings” to make changes. The lawfulness of data processing up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected.
