b. Matomo/Piwik

We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyze the surfing behavior of our users. This is used to analyze traffic on our website. This allows us to understand which sub-pages are used most frequently. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness.
For this purpose, pseudonymous user profiles are created, which can be assigned to the browser you are using by means of a cookie stored on your computer. If individual pages of our website are called up, the following data is stored:
- The website called up
- The website from which the user accessed the accessed website (referrer)
- The subpages that are called up from the called-up website
- The time spent on the website
- The frequency with which the website is accessed
The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. A storage of the personal data of the users only takes place on these servers. The data is not passed on to third parties. When using Matomo, we deliberately refrain from processing your full IP address.
The legal basis for the processing of user data is your consent, which can be withdrawn at any time. To withdraw your consent, please use the settings banner at the end of this privacy policy. In this way, a cookie is set on your system, which signals to our system not to store the user's data.

The data will be deleted after 60 days. For more information, please visit https://matomo.org/privacy/

1. Advertising based on Tracking and Retargeting

We would like to show you - also on the websites of our advertising partners - only advertising that really interests you. Therefore, we use the technologies of so-called tracking and retargeting on our website for advertising that is tailored to your interests. Cookies are usually used for this purpose, but other technologies such as so-called "fingerprinting" are also used in some cases. The cookies temporarily stored for this purpose enable our retargeting partners to recognise visitors to our website under a pseudonym and to display only products that are likely to interest you. Fingerprinting recognizes your device based on your computer hardware, software, add-ons and browser settings.
Unless otherwise stated, the processing described in this section is based on your consent. Learn more about how to withdraw your consent in our cookie policy. There you will find information on when cookies expire and how to delete cookies.
In detail, we use the data collected for statistical and advertising purposes

  • for targeted advertising, also via advertising networks in cooperation with partners,
  • to measure the success and billing of advertising measures between advertising partners and us,
  • to keep track of what ads you have already seen to prevent you from seeing the same one again and
  • to assess which parts of our website need to be optimised.

Unless otherwise stated, we use the following services as processors and contractually oblige them to process data only on our behalf.

LinkedIn-Insights Tag

We use the LinkedIn Insights Tag, a service provided by LinkedIn Corporation, as a tool to analyse your behaviour on our website in order to provide you with interest-based and behavioural marketing. This includes measuring conversion to increase the effectiveness of our marketing activities. This is a service provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, https://www.linkedin.com. For more information, please visit https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
The Insight Tag will collect and transmit the following information about you to LinkedIn: URL; referrer URL, IP address, device and browser data and a timestamp. In exceptional cases, profile data may be processed together with the above categories of data. This is the case if you are a member of LinkedIn. In this context, we would like to draw your attention to the settings options within your LinkedIn profile.
LinkedIn will provide us with an analysis of the use of our website in aggregated form so that we are able to improve our website and the content for our users. In addition, this data will be used to target ads on the LinkedIn platform.
We are joint controllers with LinkedIn Corp. for the collection and transfer of data to LinkedIn; however, any processing of data after transfer is the sole responsibility of LinkedIn. The Insight Tag only collects and transfers data with your explicit consent in the cookie banner that is displayed to you when you access our website.
LinkedIn will encrypt your data, IP addresses will be truncated, and direct identifiers will be removed within seven days to make the data pseudonymous. The remaining pseudonymised data will then be deleted within 90 days.
The legal basis for this procedure is your consent. You can find more information at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/guest-controls/retargeting-opt-out.
