Use of the scalable central measurement procedures

Our website uses the measuring procedure (‘SZMnG’) of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.INFOnline.de/en/) to determine key statistical values for the use of our offers.

Our legitimate interest stems from the economic usability of the statistical findings and user categories and the market value of our website – also in direct comparison with third party websites – which can be determined from the statistics.

In addition, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymised data of INFOnline, AGOF and IVW available for market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW).

Type and purpose of the processing

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you have reached our website via a Google advertisement, Google Adwords will place a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is used when a user clicks on an ad from Google.
