We use cookies on our website and in the application to statistically record the way the website is used (e.g. number and type of visits to the website, information and user preferences as well as country and language settings).

5.2 Google Tag Manager

For our website, we use Google Tag Manager, a marketing product from Google. This Tag Manager allows the installation and management of the tracking tools used.

5.3 Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising program from Google.

As part of Google Ads, we use what is known as conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking
, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Conversion cookies are stored on the basis of the Swiss Data Protection Act.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising. You can find more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

5.4 LinkedIn Insight tag

The website also uses the LinkedIn Insight tag. This conversion tracking tool from the company LinkedIn Corporation, based in Mountain View, California, USA, is a small JavaScript code snippet that allows us to create detailed LinkedIn campaign reports and provides information about visitors to the website. This is used to track conversions or retarget website visitors.

Hotjar's technology enables us to better understand users' experiences (e.g. how much time they spend on which pages, which links they click on, what they like and dislike, etc.), which allows us to target based on our users' feedback. Hotjar works with cookies and other technologies to collect information about our users' behavior and their devices. Hotjar stores this information in a pseudonymized user profile.

The information is not used by Hotjar or by us to identify individual users or merged with other data about individual users.
