Purpose, type of data and duration of data processing

Types of cookies used
There are the following three types of cookies:
Necessary cookies:
These cookies are necessary for the operation of the site and to fulfill our contractual obligations. This includes, for example, stability testing and monitoring by the Sentry service.
Statistics cookies:
In order to further improve our offering and our websites, we collect anonymized data for statistics and analyses. With the help of these cookies, we can, for example, determine the number of visitors and the effect of certain pages on our website. This includes, for example, Google Analytics cookies.
Convenience cookies:
We use these cookies to make it easier for you to use the site. This includes, for example, the features offered by Hubspot, such as registration and email newsletters.
External service providers
We use the following external service providers, which have different functions.
Google Analytics:
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies.” These are text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
However, if IP anonymization is activated on these websites, Google will abbreviate your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 14 months. Google Analytics is only used with your consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

These include:
- Reporting (e.g. traffic sources, accesses, etc....)
- Contact management (e.g. user segmentation & CRM)
Our registration service allows visitors to our website to learn more about our company, download content, and provide their contact information and other demographic information.

Stability testing and monitoring by the Sentry service:
To improve the technical stability of our service by monitoring system stability and identifying code errors, we use the Sentry service. Sentry serves these goals alone and does not evaluate any data for advertising purposes. Usage data such as metadata (device ID, device data, IP address) is used as processing data. With Sentry, information about the device or time of error is collected anonymously, not used personally and then immediately deleted. In addition, the ID address is hidden (so-called “IP masking”). Sentry is a software company from the USA (contact: Functional Software Inc., Sentry, 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, California 94107, USA).

In our web services, we use the “Matomo” service (www.matomo.org) from InnoCraft Ltd., 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand.
