Analysis of advertising tracking

Use of Google Analytics
On our website, we use the web analysis service Google Analytics of Google LLC. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). If you have your habitual residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the controller of your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the company associated with Google which is responsible for processing your data and complying with the applicable data protection laws.
The data processing serves the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. To this end, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. In the process, the following information may be collected, among others: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser you are using and the device you are using (device), pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activities. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by this about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. There is no EU Commission adequacy decision for the USA. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, viewable at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks.

Your data may be linked by Google to other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices and any other data Google may have about you.
IP anonymisation is activated on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google 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 shortened there.
The use of cookies or comparable technologies is based on § 15 para. 3 p. 1 TMG. The processing of your personal data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO due to our overriding legitimate interest in the demand-oriented and targeted design of the website.

Use of the plugin uptain
To improve the interaction with our visitors we use a Java-Script plugin from uptain GmbH ("uptain-Plugin" https://www.uptain.de). This allows us to analyse your use of the website and to improve our customer approach (e.g. by means of a dialogue window). For this purpose, we collect information about your usage behaviour, i.e. movement of the cursor, length of stay, links clicked on and, if applicable, information provided.

Use of the uptain plug-in at any time via the following link: https://www.morgenland-teppiche.de/datenschutz?__up_tracking_unsubscribe.

Use of social plug-ins by means of the "2-click solution
We use plug-ins of social networks on our website by means of the "2-click solution". In this case, no connections are established to the servers of the social networks without your express consent and consequently no data is transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you call up the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers and the plug-in is displayed on the page by informing your browser. In this process, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for non-registered or non-logged-in users. If you are also logged into the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. In order for you to retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button for the time being. You can recognise this by the greyed-out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link to the social network server will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button does the button become active (highlighted in colour) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.
By activating, you give your consent to the transmission of your data to the respective provider of the social network. Among other things, your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the collected information will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts with the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The social networks named below are integrated by means of the "2-click function". For more information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data, as well as your rights in this regard and options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the linked data protection notices of the providers.
