The setting of cookies for “reach measurement” measures visitor behavior on our website and may contain information about behavior, interests or demographic information about visitors, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. These statistical analyses enable us to ensure target group-oriented and continuously optimized online presences. Subject to other information in the details on individual cookies for statistical purposes in the cookie box(open configuration box), usage processes and user information may be stored and read on the user’s device on our website for the purpose of measuring reach. The data processed in this process generally includes information about websites visited, user behavior on the websites, browser type, end device type, usage times, consent data, time data, metadata, IP address and, if applicable, location data with corresponding consent.

This data is used to measure reach, improve the user experience on our website, create user profiles and improve the functionality of the website.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using statistics cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR (consent).
