We use these providers to analyze trends, administer the Site, track Users’ movements around the Site, and gather demographic information about our user base as a whole. We also use these providers for re-targeting: we and our service providers gather the information about your activities on our Site and other sites in order to provide you advertising based on your browsing activities and interests. Further, we use these cookies to distinguish one user from another and, in conjunction with the log files from our web server, to calculate the total number of people visiting the Site. The collected web usage data helps us to obtain the feedback required for constantly improving the Site and to better serve all users. Below is a detailed explanation of how each Tool functions on our Site.
Use of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager on our Site
Our Site uses Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, which use cookies. The information generated by these cookies about your use of our Site is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, within member states of the European Union or in other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, your IP address will be first abbreviated by Google on our Site. For this purpose, we have implemented the code “gat._anonymizeIp();�? in order to guarantee an anonymized collection of IP addresses.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and abbreviated there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the Site, in order to compile reports about the Site activities and to render further services to us connected with the use of the Site and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager will not be merged with other data from Google.

As a result, Facebook receives the information that you have visited on our Site with your IP address and can associate the visit to our Site with your user account. Please note that as provider of the Site, we do not receive any information on the content of the data transmitted or its use by Facebook. If you are not a member of Facebook, Facebook will still obtain and store your IP address as well as receive information when you visit those sites and apps, including device information (operating system, hardware version, device settings, file and software names and types, battery and signal strength, device identifiers, device locations, including specific geographic locations, such as through GPS, Bluetooth, or WiFi signals, connection information such as the name of your mobile operator or ISP, browser type, language and time zone, mobile phone number) and information about your activity. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address will be processed.

This service enables us to track the activities of users on our website when they come to our website via ads from Bing Ads. If you access our Site via such an advertisement, a cookie is placed on your computer. A Bing UET tag is integrated on our Site. This is a code used in connection with the cookie to store certain non-personal data about the use of the Site, including the time spent on the Site, which areas of the Site have been called up, and via which display a user has accessed the Site.

Marketo
Marketo also uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Site is transferred to a Marketo server and stored there. Marketo uses this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of the Site and to compile reports on website activities. Marketo evaluates your user behavior when sending e-mails or other requested information on our behalf. For this evaluation, the e-mails sent contain web beacons, which enable us to record when you read e-mails and which links you click in them and to draw conclusions about your personal interests. We link this data to actions taken by you on our Site. Tracking is not possible if you have disabled the display of images in your e-mail program by default. In this case, however, the newsletter will not be displayed in full and you may not be able to use all functions. If you display the images manually, the above tracking takes place.
