We use Google Analytics from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94.043 USA. This is a tool that can be used to analyse the use of web pages. For this purpose, Google uses various techniques, including cookies stored on their computer. These store information about the use of our site, which we use to improve our offer. The data collected by Google may be transmitted by Google to countries outside the EU, in particular the USA. However, Google has submitted to the Privacy Shield Framework, for details on your rights, see
http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/document/citizens-guide_en.pdf
However, in accordance with the specifications of the German Data Protection Authorities, we have taken steps to ensure the adequate protection of your data as far as possible. So, we have made sure that your IP address is anonymized before the transfer to Google. This was done by activating the Anonymizelp () function within the Google Analytics tracking code. We've also entered into a contract data processing contract with Google that will prevent Google from merging your information with other data collected by Google to determine your identity.

4.2 Use of hotjar
Our website uses the hotjar web analytics service Hotjar Ltd, Level 2 on some of our websites
St Julians Business Center,
3, Elia Zammit Street
St Julians STJ 1000, Malta, Europe
+1 (855) 464-6788
This tool detects movements on the observed web pages in so-called heatmaps. This allows us to anonymously recognize where visitors click and how far they scroll. This allows us to make our website better and more customer-friendly. Protecting your personal information is very important to us when using this tool. All data is collected without us being able to assign it to specific users. We can only understand how the mouse moves, where it was clicked, and how far scrolled. Further, the screen size of the device, the device type, information about the browser, the country from which it was accessed, and the preferred language are recorded. If personal data is displayed on a website, Hotjar automatically fills it. They are therefore incomprehensible to us. Through a "Do Not Track header", the use of the tool hotjar can be prevented. Then no data will be collected about the visit to our website. For this, the browser must be set accordingly. A guide in German can be found at: http://www.akademie.de/wissen/do-not-track-datenschutz. The hotjar tool alone can also be disabled by using the opt out button at https://www.hotjar.com/opt-out. More information on hotjar ltd. and about the tool hotjar can be found at: https://www.hotjar.com. The privacy policy of hotjar ltd. can be found at: https://www.hotjar.com/privacy.
5. Cookies
Cookies are used on the website. These are data packets that are exchanged between the corporate website server and the visitor's browser. These are stored when visiting the website of the devices used in each case (PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.). Cookies can cause no damage to the equipment used. They contain no viruses or other malicious software. In the cookies, information is stored, each resulting in connection with the specific terminal used. Under no circumstances can the company immediately gain knowledge of the identity of the visitor to the website.
Cookies are largely accepted according to the basic settings of the browser. The browser settings can be set up so that cookies are either not accepted on the devices used, or that a special note is made before a new cookie is created. It should be noted, however, that disabling cookies may result in the failure to use all features of the website in the best possible way.
The use of cookies serves to make the use of the company's website more comfortable. For example, session cookies can be used to track whether the visitor has already visited individual pages of the website. After leaving the website, these session cookies are automatically deleted.
To improve usability, temporary cookies are used. They are stored on the visitor's device for a temporary period. When the website is visited again, it automatically recognizes that the visitor has already visited the site at an earlier point in time and what inputs and settings have been made so that they do not have to be repeated.
The use of cookies also takes place in order to analyse the website's views for statistical purposes and for the purpose of improving the offer. These cookies make it possible to automatically recognize on re-visit that the website has already been called by the visitor. An automatic deletion of cookies takes place here after a specified time.
The data processed by cookies are justified for the purposes mentioned above in order to safeguard the legitimate interests of the company under Article 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR.
6. Use of YouTube
Our site uses YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, represented by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA for video inclusion. Usually, when you visit an embedded video page, your IP address will be sent to YouTube and cookies will be installed on your computer. However, we have incorporated our YouTube videos into the enhanced privacy mode (in which case, YouTube still contacts the Google DoubleClick service, but Google's privacy policy does not evaluate personal information). As a result, YouTube does not store any information about the visitors unless they watch the video. When you click the video, your IP address will be sent to YouTube, and YouTube will know that you watched the video. If you are logged in to YouTube, this information will also be assigned to your user account (you can prevent this by logging out of YouTube before calling the video). We have no knowledge or influence about any collection and use of your data by YouTube. For more information, see the YouTube privacy policy at www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. In addition, we refer you to the general handling and deactivation of cookies on our general presentation in this privacy policy.
