6. Tracking tools for website analysis

Use of Google Analytics

We consider it important to optimize our website and thereby make it more appealing for our visitors. For this, we need to know how our visitors like which parts of the website.

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google Analytics also uses cookies, i.e. text files stored on your terminal device to enable analysis of website usage by you. Information generated by a cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. IP anonymization is activated on our website, so that your IP address is truncated in advance by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states which are party to the agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide us as the website’s operator with further services relating to website and Internet usage.

The IP address sent from your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data by Google.

You can prevent storage of cookies by appropriately setting your browser software; in this case, however, please note that you might not be able to fully use all functions offered by this website.

In addition, you can prevent data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected and processed by Google, by downloading and installing a browser plug-in from this link.

Google’s data privacy policy can be found here.

To ensure adequate data protection during transfer of your data to a third country, we and Google have agreed standard data protection clauses issued by the European Commission for this purpose. You can request and obtain a copy of this agreement from us. For this, please contact the address specified above. Your data are processed on the legal basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Clause 1 f) GDPR (balancing of interests) and in our interest in evaluating how our website is used, and employing the results to adapt and optimize our website.

Your data accumulated in the context of Google Analytics are deleted after 14 months.

6.1 General

Our goal is to design our websites in the best possible way. We therefore use tracking tools to improve our online offerings. The tracking tools enable us to measure the use of our online offerings and the effectiveness of our online advertising. In particular, we use the tracking tools to collect the following information:

  • What links on other websites do online users click on to access emnos.com?
  • Which of our pages are visited when, how often, and in which order?
  • What information are users looking for on our website?
  • Which links or offers do users of our website click on?

Using this information, we compile statistics that help us to understand the following questions:

  • Which pages are particularly attractive for users of our website?
  • Which products are our (potential) customers most interested in?
  • Which offerings should we provide to our (potential) customers?

To that end, we particularly use the automatically-collected data mentioned in Section 3.2 above. The data is only stored under a pseudonym (i.e., a random identification number). We could theoretically link such pseudonymous data with other data to identify you as a person (e.g., name, address, etc.). However, we do not purposely establish such a link.

6.2 Legal basis

The legal basis for the processing of pseudonymous data described in Section 5 is Art. 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR (balancing of interests – based on our interest in understanding the interests of our website users.)

7. Third-party content

7.1 General

The internet thrives on connections. For this reason, you will not only find our own content on our website. We have also incorporated various third-party content that either improves the technical functionality or the attractiveness of our website in terms of content. If you access one of our pages with such third-party content, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective provider and retrieves their content in order to display it to you.

7.2 Google Fonts

We use fonts from Google Fonts to display various texts on this website as quickly and with as little data use as possible and to improve their appearance (https://fonts.google.com/). Google Fonts is provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

The fonts are loaded directly from your web browser into a local cache on your device in order to be able to use them for display on our and, if necessary, other internet pages. If your web browser does not support Google Fonts or does not allow access to Google Fonts, your browser will try to display the text in a default font.

When integrating Google Fonts, your browser communicates with a Google server in the U.S. which can record the corresponding font retrieval by your browser. There is currently no decision by the EU Commission that the U.S. generally offers an adequate level of data protection. However, Google has committed to comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Agreement published by the U.S. Department of Commerce on the collection, use, and storage of personal data from EU member states.

7.3 Google Maps

Our website shows maps of the map service Google Maps. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google.”) When you visit one of our pages with Google Maps, your browser connects directly to Google’s servers and retrieves the maps to display them to you.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to process your IP address and information about your potential use of the map. This information is transferred from your internet browser to a Google server in the U.S. and processed there by Google. There is currently no decision by the EU Commission that the U.S. generally offers an adequate level of data protection. However, Google has committed to comply with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Agreement published by the U.S. Department of Commerce on the collection, use, and storage of personal data from EU member states.
