2. Adobe Analytics
To maintain a current, user-centric and full offer on our websites, this website uses Adobe Analytics by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited, a web analytics tool that enables us to optimise our services to meet your needs. Adobe Analytics uses cookies to trace your preferences during your visit to our pages. This facilitates, for example, site navigation and allows us to further improve the user friendliness of our services.
The information generated in this context (including the IP address) are anonymised by default prior to being stored so that it becomes impossible to identify the user. This website has been customised to enable logging IP addresses in an anonymised format (so-called IP masking). It is not possible to identify a person directly based on the information stored on Adobe servers as Adobe Analytics runs with the ‘Before Geo-Lookup: Replace visitor’s last IP octet with 0’ and ‘Obfuscate IP-Removed’ setting. The ‘Before Geo-Lookup: Replace visitor’s last IP octet with 0’ setting guarantees that the IP address is anonymised prior to this so-called geo localisation by replacing the last IP octet with zeroes. The user’s approximate location is added for statistical analytics to the tracking pack which contains the IP address (still complete at that time). The information generated by this cookie will usually be transmitted to an Adobe server in the European Union. However, it cannot be ruled out that in the event of a technical emergency these data will be transmitted third party countries and stored there so that consequently. The EU Commission has issued so-called adequacy decisions for the transfer of personal data to third countries that offer a level of protection equivalent to the GDPR. Corresponding EU standard contractual clauses (adequate guarantee for data processing in non-EU countries) have been concluded for all other recipients in third countries. Within the context of your right to be informed, you have the right to be informed about these standard contracts. If you consented to this, we will use Web Analytics technology for cookies (see Section D.III. of this privacy notice) to log and analyse the usage behaviour of our website in order to improve the website and achieve the goals of the website more easily (e.g. visitor frequency, increased page views). You can either grant your consent at your first visit on the website using the cookie-banner or adjust or withdraw the cookie settings at any time in the cookie settings on our website. Your choice will be documented for the browser you have used.
