Tracking tools

The tracking activities which are listed below and which we use are executed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 let. F of the DSGVO. The use of tracking activities allows us to structure our site to your needs, and to continuously improve our web site. On the other hand, we place tracking activities in order to statistically capture the use of our site, and for purposes of optimising our offers to you. These interests can also be justified in the sense of the above rules.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories are derived from the relevant tracking tools.

a) Google Analytics

For the purposes of proper and continuing optimisation of our web pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service from der Google Inc.https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/ (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). In connection with this, pseudonymous user profiles are created, and cookies used (see No. 4). The information created by the cookie about your use of this web site, such as

  • Browser type and version,
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL (the page you’d visited just before),
  • Host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
  • Time of the server query,

are transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there. The information is used in order to assess use of the web site, to create reports about web site activities and to provide further services associated with web site use and Internet use for the purposes of marketing research and structuring the needs of this Internet site. Also, this information is transferred, if applicable, to third parties, as long as this is required by law or these third parties work under contract. In no case is your IP address put together with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that one cannot assign them (IP masking).

You can prevent your browser from storing cookies with the corresponding browser settings; but please note that by doing so, you may not be able to use the website's full functionality.

In addition, you can prevent the gathering and transmission of the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) by Google as well as the distribution of the data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on.

tools.google.com/d1page/gaoptout

As an alternative to a browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can additionally prevent Google Analytics from capturing information by clicking on this link. This installs an opt-out cookie that prevents your data from being collected when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie only applies in this browser, and only for our web site, and is stored on your device. If you erase your cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

Further information about data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found at the Google Analytics-help section.

b) Google Adwords Conversation Tracking

Google Adwords places a cookie (see number 4) on your computer if you have clicked on a Google advertisement on our web site.

These cookies are no longer valid after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits specific web site pages of Adwords customers, and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can learn that the user had clicked on the ad and was forwarded to this page.

Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be followed over the web sites of Adwords customers. The information gathered by conversion cookies serves to create conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have decided to allow conversion tracking. Adwords customers learn about the total number of users who have clicked on their ads and have been forwarded to a page with a conversion tracking tag. They don't receive information which can personally identify the user.

If you would not like to take part in the tracking procedure, you can also refuse the use of cookies required for this - through a browser setting which generally and automatically deactivates the placement of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser in such a way that cookies from the www.googleadservices.com are blocked. You can find Google’s data protection information here. [Link to: services.google.com/sitestats/de.html]

 

5. Social Media Plug-ins

We use social plug-ins on our web site on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sent. 1 let. F of the DSGVO for the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Instagram in order to make our law firm better known.  The marketing purpose is a justified interest in the sense of the DSGVO. Responsibility for data protection-compliant operation is ensured by the respective offeror. Connecting these plug-ins to us is done using a so-called “two-click method” in order to best protect visitors to our web pages.

a) Facebook

Social media plug-ins from Facebook are used on our web site in order to structure their use in a more personal way. We use buttons such as “LIKE” for this. This is an offering from Facebook.

If you call up a page of our web presence which contains such a plug-in, your browser will form a direct connection to Facebook’s servers, in which the contents of the plug-in will be directly transferred from Facebook to your browser and will be connected into the web site with this.

By connecting plug-ins, Facebook obtains information that your browser had called up the relevant page of our web presence, even if you do not have a Facebook account or aren't logged in with Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is directly transferred from your browser to Facebook’s server in the US and stored there.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign the visit to our web site with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plug-ins, such as with “LIKE”, the relevant information will also be transferred directly to Facebook’s server and stored there. The information will also be published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.

Facebook can use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and appropriate design of Facebook pages. User, interest and relationship profiles are created by Facebook, for example for your use of our web site in regard to the advertising shown to you by Facebook, other Facebook users can be informed about your activity on our web site and other services can be provided related to the use of Facebook.

If you don't want Facebook to assign the data gathered from our web site about you, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our web site.

The purpose and scope of data gathering and further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting possibilities to protect your private life can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy.

We also use suitable technical and organisational security measures in order to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or unauthorised access. Our security measures are continuously improved in accordance with technical advancements.
