The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with the anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the promotion, collection, and evaluation of data about the behavior of Internet page visitors. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data on the website from which a data subject came to a website (called a referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed, and how often and for how long a sub-page was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043‑1351, USA.

The controller uses the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By using this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is shortened and anonymized by Google if our Internet pages are accessed from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. We explained above what cookies are. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website operated by the controller is accessed and where a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google gains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently to enable commission accounting.

A cookie is used to store personal data, such as the access time, the location from which it was accessed, and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, these personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, are transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on these personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. This setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Moreover, the cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics regarding the use of this website and the processing of these data by Google, and to prevent this. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on by clicking the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google.

If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later time, the data subject has to reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of influence, there is the option of reinstalling or reactivating the browser add-on.

The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an Internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in both the Google search engine results and the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to define certain keywords in advance by means of which an advertisement is only displayed in the Google search engine results if a user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result with the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-related websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company for the services of Google AdWords is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043‑1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine, and by displaying third-party advertisements on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a "conversion cookie" is placed on the data subject's information technology system. We explained above what cookies are. The conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages (for example, a shopping cart from an online shop system) have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables us as well as Google to understand whether a person who came to our website via an AdWords ad has generated sales; that is, completed or canceled a purchase.

The data and information collected due to the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics of our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords advertisements; that is, to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords advertisement and to optimize our AdWords advertisements for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive any information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal data, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, the personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on these personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. This setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Moreover, the cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject has to open the link https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated in the Internet browsers used and make the desired settings there.

The Snow Load, Wind Speed, and Seismic Load Maps page allows for Geo-load queries based on a dynamic map by Google Maps.
A Geo-load query can be generated by clicking on the interactive map of Snow Load, Wind Speed, and Seismic Load Maps.

Dlubal Software also provides a web service which can be used to generate a URL that provides the desired results of the Geo-load query.

The Geo-load query based on the map by Google Maps is an online service liable for costs.

For testing purposes, Dlubal Software GmbH provides a certain contingent of free Geo-load queries to its users.

To be able to track when a user exceeds this quota, Dlubal Software records the Geo-load queries of each user in order to prevent misuse of the free testing mode of the online service.

As soon as the quota of free Geo-load queries has been used up, the user is asked to purchase the desired online service or to log in to the relevant Dlubal account, if the company has already purchased the online service.

By purchasing a package of Geo-load queries, the corresponding quota of the Geo-load queries is activated for the company.

For billing purposes, Dlubal Software GmbH records the Geo-load queries of the individual users of this company and merges them in order to determine the used and the remaining number of Geo-load queries purchased by the company.

Dlubal Software records the following data as part of a Geo-load query.

User-Related Data:

• Date and time of the Geo-load query
• IP address
• If you are logged into your Dlubal account when using the service, we also save the following user-related data:
