The following cookies are used in their standard configuration and stored for a period of 30 days: _ga, _gat. These cookies are designed by Google Analytics and they make it possible to monitor traffic on the website and improve the user experience. By means of these cookies, Google collects data about the traffic on our website that can be used to compile reports and improve our website. The service collects anonymous data, including number of visitors, the website from which a user has come (the so-called referrer) and which sub-pages have been visited. Google Analytics is a web analytics service operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This service uses so-called “cookies” (see above). As a rule, the information that the cookies generate about your use of this website will be transmitted to a Google server in the US where it will also be stored.

Google uses the collected information to evaluate the use of our website and to provide reports on the activity on our website as well as to provide other relevant online services that concern us and how we use our website. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the Google Analytics framework will not be merged with other data collected by Google.

Our website also uses the retargeting technology "Website Custom Audience" developed by Facebook, the social network, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S.

The re-targeting technology allows us to advertise relevant offers and promotions via the Facebook Audience Network that correspond to the interests of our website users who have demonstrated an interest in us and are also Facebook members. For this purpose, so-called Facebook retargeting pixels are integrated into our website, which enable Facebook to classify visitors to our website under a pseudonym and use this anonymous data as the basis for our ads on Facebook.

Furthermore, Facebook will not link the information collected by the retargeting pixel with the data saved in your Facebook user profile. More information on data protection and privacy-related settings are available at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads and https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.
