Google Website statistics: https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html

This website continues to use Google’s online marketing tool Campaign Manager. Campaign Manager uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, Campaign Manager may use cookie IDs to collect conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a Campaign Manager ad and later uses the same browser to access the advertiser’s website and buy something there. According to Google, Campaign Manager cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.

Your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server on the basis of the marketing tools employed. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and may thus only inform you on the basis of our knowledge: Through the integration of Campaign Manager, Google is notified that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are logged-in to a Google service, Google can associate the visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google, or have not logged in, it is possible for the provider to obtain and store your IP address.

In addition, Campaign Manager (DoubleClick Floodlight) cookies we use enable us to understand whether you are performing any actions on our website after you have viewed or clicked (conversion tracking) on one of our display/video ads on Google or another platform via Campaign Manager. Campaign Manager uses this cookie to understand the content you have interacted with on our website in order to send you targeted advertisements at a later point in time.

You can prevent participation in this tracking process in various ways:  

• By setting your browser software accordingly, in particular by suppressing third-party cookies so that you will not receive ads from third-party providers; 
• By deactivating cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies; 
• By deactivating the interest-based ads from providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting is deleted when you delete your cookies; 
• By permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browsers under http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin, 
• Using the appropriate settings on your browser. Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

In addition, you can prevent Google from collecting the information generated by the cookies about your use of the website, and the processing of this information by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/142293?hl=de under “Display settings”, “Campaign Manager deactivation extension”.

Guntermann & Drunck GmbH uses chat software provided by Userlike UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Probsteigasse 44-46, 50670 Cologne, Germany. You can use the chat function like a contact form to chat with our employees in near real time.

The chat window will not be loaded until you have given your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

The following personal data is collected at the start of the chat:

•     Date and time of access;

•     IP address,
•     Operating system in use;

The purpose of processing all of this data is to provide you with a fast and efficient means of contacting us and to improve our customer service as a result.

All our employees have been and will be trained on the subject of data protection and instructed how to handle customer data safely and confidentially.
