D. Analysis and monitoring tools

We use the following analysis and tracking tools as part of our web presence, which we apply in relation to our specific web offering (website).

(1) Google Analytics
Used for the website.
We use the web analysis service Google Analytics. Google Analytics is operated in the EU by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (Google).
Google Analytics uses cookies which are stored on your computer or mobile device and which enable analysis of how users use the website. With these cookies, Google Analytics can measure the coverage of our web presence on our behalf. The cookies allow us to know which website you visited before coming to our website and how you used our website. We use the data collected in this way (Google Analytics reports) to analyse the performance of our website and to analyse the success of our marketing campaigns.

By using cookies, Google collects (personal) data such as your IP address, the date and time of the visit, usage data, site information, device information and browser information for ADC. Your IP address is only further processed in an abbreviated form (IP anonymisation) when you access our website from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State of the Agreement on the European Economic Community.
The recipient of the (personal) data collected in this way is Google, so that your data may be transmitted to the United States of America and stored there. Google may pass on this data under certain circumstances.
Google will automatically delete your personal data from the cookies after 14 months.

(2) YouTube
Used on the website
We have integrated YouTube videos on our website with the extended data protection mode activated. YouTube is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, a subsidiary of Google Inc.
When integrating YouTube content, YouTube or Google may occasionally collect and process information (including personal data). It cannot be ruled out that YouTube or Google also transfers this information to a server in a third country. According to the specification of the YouTube platform on the activation of the extended data protection mode, the cookie activity and the resulting data collection only come into effect with the use of the video playback function itself.
The purpose of integrating YouTube is to be able to present you with different videos so that you can watch them directly on our website. Art. 6 Part 1. f) GDPR provides the legal basis for the processing of the personal data described here. Our necessary legitimate interest lies in the above-mentioned purpose. The incorporation of external videos also allows us to relieve the load on our servers and to use appropriate resources elsewhere. In particular, this can increase the stability of our servers.

• Deactivation
You can permanently revoke the installation of cookies by our website as already described above in section C. In addition, you can prevent the transmission of information by logging out of your YouTube account before visiting our website.
