Information about cookies and data protection

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Cookies are used for this purpose, which enable an analysis of the use of the website by its users. The information generated in this way is transferred to the provider's server and stored there.

You can prevent this by setting your browser so that no cookies are stored. We have concluded a corresponding contract with the provider for order data processing.

We use the Google Analytics (GA) analysis tracking tool from the American company Google Inc. on our website. For the European region, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Analytics collects data about your actions on our website. For example, when you click on a link, this action is stored in a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. The reports we receive from Google Analytics help us to better tailor our website and services to your needs. Below, we go into more detail about the tracking tool and, above all, inform you about what data is stored and how you can prevent this. For Universal Analytics properties, Google Analytics has a standardised retention period of 26 months for your user data. After this period, your user data is deleted.

We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Our primary goal is to secure and protect our website for you and for us in the best possible way. To ensure this, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google Inc. For the European region, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With reCAPTCHA, we can determine whether you are a real person and not a robot or other spam software. By spam, we mean any unsolicited information that reaches us electronically. With classic CAPTCHAS, you usually had to solve text or image puzzles for verification. With Google's reCAPTCHA, we usually don't have to bother you with such puzzles. In most cases, it is sufficient to simply tick a box to confirm that you are not a bot. With the new Invisible reCAPTCHA version, you don't even have to tick a box anymore. You can find out exactly how this works and, above all, what data is used for this purpose in the course of this privacy policy.

This website uses the ‘demographic characteristics’ feature of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be attributed to any specific individual. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section ‘Objection to data collection’.

You have the right to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection. If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or that your data protection rights have been violated in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Austria, this is the Data Protection Authority.
