5. Analysis tools
a) Tracking tools
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are based on Art. 6 para. 1
sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO. With the tracking measures to be used, we want to ensure a
needs-based design and the continuous optimization of our website. On the other
hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and
evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These interests are to be
regarded as justified within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.
The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the
corresponding tracking tools.
i) Google Analytics
For the purpose of customizing and continually optimizing our pages, we use Google
Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc.
(https://www.google.com/intl/en/about/) (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain
View, CA 94043, USA, hereafter "Google"). In this context, pseudonymised usage
profiles are created and cookies (see point 4) are used. The information generated by
the cookie about your use of this website such as
Browser type / version,
used operating system,
Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
Host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
Time of server request,
are transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. The information is
used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to
provide other services related to website activity and internet usage for the purposes
of market research and tailor-made website design. This information may also be
transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data in the
order. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with any other data
provided by Google. The IP addresses are anonymized, so that an assignment is not
possible (IP masking).
You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser software
accordingly; however, we point out that in this case not all features of this website
may be fully exploited.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to
your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by
Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https:
//tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices,
you can prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out
cookie will be set that will prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this
website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and
is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the
opt-out cookie again.
For more information about privacy related to Google Analytics, see the Google
Analytics Help Center (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en).
ii) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
To statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of
optimizing our website, we also use Google conversion tracking. In doing so, Google
Adwords will set a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our
website via a Google ad.
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal
identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer's website and
the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user
clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Every Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can not be tracked via
the websites of Adwords customers. The information gathered using the conversion
cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have
opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers hear the total number of users
who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page.
However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.
If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the
required setting of a cookie - for example, via a browser setting that generally
disables the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for
conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain
"www.googleadservices.com". Google's privacy policy on conversion tracking can be
found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html).

plug-ins from the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, in order to make
our law firm better known. The underlying commercial purpose is to be regarded as a
legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. Responsibility for the operation
compliant with data protection is to be guaranteed by their respective providers. The
integration of these plug-ins by us is done by means of the so-called two-click

server in the US and stored there.

directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by
pressing the "LIKE" or "SHARE" button, the corresponding information is also

be posted on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.
Facebook may use this information for the purpose of advertising, market research
and tailor-made Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook uses user, interest and
relationship profiles, eg. For example, to evaluate your use of our website in relation
to the advertisements displayed on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about
your activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of
Facebook.
If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website to your

the data by Facebook, as well as your related rights and settings options for the

Our website also uses so-called social plugins ("plugins") operated by Instagram
LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA ("Instagram").
The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an
"Instagram camera".
When you visit a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser
connects directly to Instagram's servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by
Instagram directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this
integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed the
corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or
are currently not logged in to Instagram.
This information (including your IP address) is sent from your browser directly to an
Instagram server in the US and stored there. If you're logged in to Instagram,
Instagram can instantly associate your visit to our website with your Instagram
account. If you interact with the plugins, for example, press the "Instagram" button,
this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there.
The information will also be posted on your Instagram account and displayed there to
your contacts.
