This website also uses the Google Signals service as an extension of Google Analytics. With Google Signals, we can have cross-device reports created by Google (so-called "Cross Device Tracking"). If you have activated "personalized ads" in your settings in your Google account and you have linked your Internet-enabled devices to your Google account, Google can analyze user behavior across devices and create database models based on this. The registrations and device types of all site visitors who were logged into a Google account and carried out a conversion are taken into account. The data shows, among other things, on which device you clicked on an ad for the first time and on which device the associated conversion took place. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics based on Google Signals. The processing takes place in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR on the basis of our overriding legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behavior for optimization and marketing purposes. You can object to data processing by observing the aforementioned objection options. You also have the option of deactivating your settings in your Google account for “personalized ads” by following the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de
