4. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not harm your device, nor do they contain viruses, Trojans, or other malware. Information is stored in the cookie that relates to the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we thereby gain direct knowledge of your identity.


The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make your use of our website more convenient. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted when you leave our site. Furthermore, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness; these are stored on your device for a specific, predetermined period. When you revisit our site to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already been here and what entries and settings you have made, so you don't have to enter them again. On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our services for you (see section 5). These cookies allow us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our site when you return. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period.


The data processed by cookies is necessary for the aforementioned purposes to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a notification always appears before a new cookie is created. Completely disabling cookies may prevent you from using all the functions of our website.


5. Analysis Tools

a) Tracking tools

The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter f GDPR. We use these tracking measures to ensure the needs-based design and continuous optimization of our website. We also use them to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our services for you. These interests are considered legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision. The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the descriptions of the corresponding tracking tools.


b) Aumago Privacy Notice / Company Identification

This website uses Piwik, an open-source software for the statistical analysis of user access. Piwik uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored in a user's browser. These are used to analyze the use of this website. Data is collected, processed, and stored on servers in Germany to create anonymous user profiles. This data includes the name of the accessed web page or file, the date and time of access, the amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider. The personal IP address is anonymized immediately after processing (IP-based company identification) by deleting the last octet (masking) and is not combined with cookies or other data. Users can prevent tracking by cookies by adjusting their browser settings or by clicking the following link (opt-out).


c) Google Analytics

For the purpose of tailoring our website to user needs and continuously optimizing it, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter "Google"). In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see section 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as


  • Browser type/version,
  • operating system used,
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
  • Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address),
  • Time of server request,

The information is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. This information is used to evaluate website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for market research and to tailor these web pages to user needs. This information may also be transferred to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be associated with any other data held by Google. IP addresses are anonymized so that they cannot be linked to a specific individual (IP masking). Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found, for example, in the Google Analytics Help Center (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).


You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website.


Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).


As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking this link. This will set an opt-out cookie that prevents the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.


d) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

To statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. Google AdWords places a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the AdWords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of different AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers receive information about the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any personally identifiable information. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the necessary placement of a cookie – for example, via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic placement of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com". Google's privacy policy for conversion tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).
