Web analysis, monitoring and optimization

Web analytics (also known as "reach measurement") is used to evaluate visitor traffic to our online offering and may include behaviour, interests, or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. Reach analysis allows us to determine, for example, when our online offering or its features or content are most frequently used or encourage reuse. Likewise, we can understand which areas require optimization.

In addition to web analytics, we may also use testing procedures to, for example, test and optimize different versions of our online offering or its components.

For these purposes, so-called user profiles may be created and stored in a file (so-called "cookies"), or similar processes may be used for the same purpose. This information may include, for example, content viewed, websites visited and elements used there, and technical information such as the browser used, the computer system used, and information on usage times. If users have consented to the collection of their location data, this may also be processed depending on the provider.

Notes on legal bases: If we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for processing data is consent. Otherwise, user data is processed based on our legitimate interests (i.e., interest in efficient, economical, and user-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this privacy policy.

• Data subjects: Users (e.g., website visitors, users of online services).
• Purposes of processing: Reach measurement (e.g., access statistics, recognition of recurring visitors), tracking (e.g., interest-/behavior-based profiling, use of cookies), visitor action analysis, profiling (creation of user profiles).
• Security measures: IP masking (pseudonymization of the IP address).
• Legal basis: Consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR), Legitimate Interests (Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f. GDPR).
