Demographic characteristics
Google (Universal) Analytics uses the special function "demographic characteristics" and can use it to compile statistics that provide information about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This is done by analysing advertising and information from third-party providers. This makes it possible to identify target groups for marketing activities. However, the data collected cannot be attributed to a specific person and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.
Google Signals
As an extension of Google (Universal) Analytics, Google Signals may be used on this website to generate cross-device reports. If you have activated personalised ads and linked your devices to your Google account, Google may, subject to your consent to the use of Google Analytics pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, analyse your usage behaviour across devices and create database models, including on cross-device conversions.
