Some cookies remain on your device until you delete them. They allow us to be able to recognise your browser the next time you visit our website.

Web analysis

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics (Web analysis service of Google LLV (“Google”)). Google uses cookies. The information created by the cookie about the users’ use of the online service are as a rule transferred to a server of Google in the USA and saved there. To do so, cookies that make it possible to analyse the users’ use of the website are used. The information created thereby is transferred to the server of the provider and saved there. You can prevent this by adjusting your browser so that no cookies are stored. We have concluded a corresponding contract on commissioned data processing with the provider. Use of IP-addresses based on the legal basis “legitimate interest”; in this case, pseudonymisation is recommended: your IP address is collected, but immediately [i.e. by deleting the last 8 bits) pseudonymised. This makes it possible to only roughly localise you. The connection to the web analysis provider is based on “Privacy Shield”. The data are processed based on the legal provisions of § 96 Par 3 Telecommunications Act as well as Art 6 Par 1 lit a (consent) and/or f (legitimate interest) of the GDPR.
Our objective within the meaning of the GDPR (legitimate interest) is to improve our offer and our website. Since we consider the privacy of our users very important, we pseudonymise the user data.

If you believe that the processing of your data infringes data protection laws or that your data protection rights were infringed in any other way, you can lodge a claim with the supervisory authority. In Austria, this authority is the Data Protection Authority.
