DoubleClick uses cookies to display ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads multiple times.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including your shortened IP address) will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

This website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "_anonymizeIp()", which ensures anonymization of the IP address by shortening it and excludes a direct personal reference. This extension means that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. In these exceptional cases, processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes.

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage.

This makes it possible to assign interaction data from different devices and different sessions to a single user. The user ID does not contain any personal data and does not transmit such data to Google.

The collection and storage of data via the user ID can be revoked at any time with effect for the future. To do this, you must deactivate Google Analytics on all systems you use, for example, in another browser or on your mobile device.
