5. Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager is a tool that manages other scripts and tags on this website. Google Tag Manager itself does not set cookies and does not collect personal data. It activates other tags which may, however, collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

If deactivation has been set at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags implemented via Google Tag Manager.

Legal basis: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (your consent, where applicable to tags activated via GTM that collect personal data).

6. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics 4 (GA4), a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

GA4 uses cookies to collect information about how visitors use this website. The information generated — including a truncated version of your IP address — is transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. On our behalf, Google uses this information to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services relating to website and internet use.

We use GA4 only with your prior consent. Analytics cookies are not placed until you have actively accepted them via our cookie consent banner. You may withdraw your consent at any time by adjusting your cookie settings [link to cookie settings / CMP widget].

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).

Data transfers to the United States are covered by Google’s adherence to the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework. For further information, see Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

7. Google reCAPTCHA

This website uses Google reCAPTCHA, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. reCAPTCHA is used on our contact form to distinguish between human users and automated bots and to protect against misuse.

To do this, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of website visitors using various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the visitor interacts with the form. The information collected (including IP address) is transmitted to Google for analysis.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is protecting our contact form from spam and abuse. For more information, see Google’s privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy
