3. Range measurement by INFOnline

Our website uses the measuring method ("SZMnG") of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.INFOnline.de ) to determine statistical parameters on the use of our offers. The aim of the usage measurement is to statistically determine the number of visits to our website, the number of website visitors and their surfing behavior - on the basis of a uniform standard procedure - and thus to obtain values that are comparable throughout the market.

For all digital services that are members of the the German Audit Bureau of Circulation (Informationsgemeinschaft zur Feststellung der Verbreitung von Werbeträgern e.V. – IVW http://www.ivw.eu ) or to the studies of the German Association of Online Research (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Online-Forschung e.V. – AGOF http://www.agof.de ), the usage statistics are regularly updated by AGOF and the German Study Group for Media Analysis (Arbeitsgemeinschaft Media-Analyse e.V. – agma http://www.agma-mmc.de ) and published with the performance value "Unique User" as well as by the IVW with the performance values "Page Impression" and "Visits". These ranges and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.

3.1 Legal basis for processing

The measurement by means of the SZMnG measurement procedure by INFOnline GmbH is carried out with justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1(f) GDPR. The purpose of processing the personal data is the compilation of statistics and the creation of user categories. The statistics serve the purpose of being able to trace and document the use of our offer. The user categories form the basis for the alignment of advertising material or advertising measures in accordance with the interests of the user. In order to market this website, it is essential to measure usage in order to ensure comparability with other market participants. Our legitimate interest results from the economic usability of the knowledge resulting from the statistics and user categories and the market value of our website - also in direct comparison with websites of third parties - which can be determined by means of the statistics. Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline, AGOF and IVW for the purpose of market research (AGOF, agma) and for statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline for further development and provision of advertising material in line with our interests.

3.2 Nature of the data

INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which are personal data according to EU-GDPR:

IP address: On the internet, every device requires a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. Due to the way the internet functions, it is technically necessary to store the IP address at least for a short period of time. The IP addresses are shortened by 1 byte before any processing and are only processed further in an anonymized form. There is no storage or further processing of the unabridged IP addresses.
A randomly generated client identifier: To recognize computer systems, the range processing uses alternatively either a third party cookie, a first party cookie, a "local storage object" or a signature, which is created from various automatically transmitted information of your browser. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. A measurement of the data and subsequent assignment to the respective client identifier is therefore also possible when you call up other websites that also use the measurement method ("SZMnG") of INFOnline GmbH.

The validity of the cookie is limited to a maximum of 1 year.

3.3 Use of data

The INFOnline GmbH measurement method used on this website determines usage data. This is done in order to determine the performance values of page impressions, visits and clients and to form further key figures from this (e.g. qualified clients). Furthermore, the measured data is used as follows:

A so-called geolocation, i.e. the assignment of a website call to the place of the call, is exclusively based on the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states / regions. From the geographical information obtained in this way, it is in no way possible to draw conclusions about the actual location of a user.
The usage data of a technical client (e.g. a browser on a device) are merged across websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical estimation of the social information of age and gender and is passed on to the service providers of AGOF for further coverage processing. Within the scope of the AGOF study, social characteristics are technically estimated on the basis of a random sample, which can be assigned to the following categories: Age, gender, nationality, professional activity, marital status, general household data, household income, place of residence, internet use, online interests, place of use, user type.

3.4 Data storage period

The complete IP address is not stored by INFOnline GmbH. The abbreviated IP address is stored for a maximum of 60 days. The usage data in connection with the unique identifier is stored for a maximum of 6 months.

3.5 Passing on of data

The IP address as well as the shortened IP address will not be passed on. For the preparation of the AGOF study, data with client identifiers will be forwarded to the following AGOF service providers:

Kantar Deutschland GmbH (https://www.tns-infratest.com/)
Ankordata GmbH & Co. KG (http://www.ankordata.de/homepage/)
Interrogare GmbH (https://www.interrogare.de/)

3.6 Right of objection

If you do not wish to participate in the measurement, you can object to it by clicking on the following link: https://optout.ioam.de

To guarantee exclusion from the measurement, it is technically necessary to set a cookie. If you delete the cookies in your browser, it is necessary to repeat the opt-out process under the above link.

Further information on data protection in the measurement procedure can be found on the website of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.de), which operates the measurement procedure, the data protection website of AGOF (http://www.agof.de/datenschutz) and the data protection website of IVW (http://www.ivw.eu).

4. Cloudflare

We use Cloudflare, a service of Cloudflare, Inc. 101 Townsend St, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, which provides CSS and JavaScript for the uniform presentation of content. Cloudflare is certified according to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required CSS and JavaScript files into its browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

For this purpose the browser you use must connect to the servers of Cloudflare. Through this, Cloudflare gets to know that our website has been accessed via your IP address. Cloudflare is used in the interest of a uniform presentation of our online offer and to avoid technical disruptions. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1(f) GDPR.

Further information on Cloudflare can be found in the Cloudflare data protection declaration at https://www.cloudflare.com/security-policy/.

5. Google Analytics (web tracking)

5.1 Description and scope of data processing

Google Analytics uses cookies which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, by activating IP anonymization on our website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states of the European Economic Area (EEA) Agreement and thus anonymized, personal data will be deleted immediately. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google has submitted to the EU Privacy Shield (certificate available at: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI).

On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

5.2 Legal basis and purpose of data processing

The use of Google Analytics is made with legitimate interest according to Art.6 para.1(f) GDPR. The purpose of the processing of personal data is to compile statistics on the origin of visitors, their length of stay on individual pages and the use of search engines. The compilation of these statistics serves to better monitor the success of the website and the alignment of advertising material or advertising measures with the interests of the visitors, which is essential for the refinancing of the website. In order to market this website, a statistical evaluation that ensures comparability with other market participants is essential. Our legitimate interest results from the economic usability of the knowledge gained from the statistics and the market value of our website - also in direct comparison with websites of third parties - which can be determined by means of the statistics.

5.3 Duration of storage

Data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. User ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 26 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

5.4 Right of objection

G. INDIVIDUAL ADVERTISING TRACKING SERVICES FROM THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS

The website uses services that are used for online advertising. Your access data and, with the help of advertising cookies of third parties, the usage behavior is evaluated and your own or third-party advertising is displayed. For online advertising, personal identification is generally not required, so that when your access data is recorded, the stored IP address is either not used or only used in abbreviated form and pseudonymous user profiles are created. These are not merged with other data and you have the possibility of revocation at any time. Personal user profiles are only created in exceptional cases and only if you have given your consent.

Online advertising can be controlled locally or across providers. If the online advertising is controlled across different providers, advertising networks act as intermediaries between advertisers and advertising media. In doing so, the advertising networks record the user profiles and derive the corresponding interests in order to place individual advertising on the next website visit. Depending on the activity of the respective advertising network, they act as a service provider dependent on instructions in accordance with a concluded order processing contract or are themselves responsible. If the advertising networks or the advertisers outside the EU or EEA process your data, a so-called third country transfer takes place. This is permitted if you have consented to it, if the third party provider has created guarantees for a level of data protection in line with European standards or if the EU Commission has classified the third country in question as a secure third country.

The legal basis for the involvement of third party providers is Art. 6 para. 1(f) GDPR, as we need advertising revenue to refinance our journalistic services and the third party providers work on a pseudonymized basis, so that the interests of those affected are not overriding.

We currently work with the following companies:

1. Taboola

This website uses the services of Taboola. This is a "content discovery technology" that makes it possible to recommend other online content in which you may be interested.
