4. Plugins and tools

Google web fonts
This site uses so-called web fonts made available by Google in order to represent font types in a standardized manner. When accessing a website, your browser downloads the web fonts required into your browser cache to correctly indicate texts and font types. For this purpose, the browser you use contacts the Google servers. As a result, Google knows that our website was accessed from your IP address. Google web fonts are used to provide a standardized and attractive representation of our online offers. This is a vital interest according to article. 6 section 1 lit. f of the GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, then your computer uses a standard font. For more information about Google web fonts, see
https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and the data protection statement by Google:

Statistical analysis of the website use and extending its range
For a statistical analysis of the website use, the Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH makes use of Google Analytics and thus cookies that enable analysis of your surfing habits. As a result, we can improve the website’s quality and its content. The Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH learns how the website is used and can, as a result, continuously optimize the services offered.

The Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH processes your personal data for statistical analysis of website use with the following legal justification:
• your consent according to article 6 section 1 lit. a of the GDPR.

Google Analytics
On the website, the Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH makes use of Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Inc., USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies“, text files that are stored on your PC and enable an analysis of how you use the website. The information about how you use the website generated by the cookies is, as a rule, transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on your website, before transmitting, Google abbreviates your IP address within the member states of the European Union or in other contractual states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. On behalf of the Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH, Google will use this information to analyze how the website is used, to create reports about website activities, and to provide additional services related to the use of the website and the internet for the operator of the website. The IP address transmitted via Google Analytics by your browser is not linked with other Google data.

On the website, the Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()“. Thus, IP addresses are processed in an abbreviated manner, precluding any direct assignment to a particular person.

The Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH uses Google Analytics only with your consent. You can revoke previously granted approval by

  • Refusing the storage of cookies through a setting on your browser software; however, the Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH warns you that website functionality may be reduced,
  • Downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the link below: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de or
  • Clicking this Link to avoid recording by Google Analytics on the LTM website in the future. If you do this, an Opt-Out cookie will be stored on your browser. Please consider that you must activate the Opt-Out cookie on each browser you use on any terminal device and, if necessary, also re-activate it if you delete all the cookies on a browser.

For in-depth information about the conditions of use and data protection for Google Analytics, see https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.

Google Analytics Remarketing
The website uses the Google Analytics Remarketing function in connection with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords. The provider is Google Inc., USA.

This function makes it possible to connect the advertising target groups created by Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords. This way, interest-related, personalized advertising messages adapted to you as a function of your former user and surfing habits on a device (such as a mobile phone) can also be transferred to another of your devices (such as a tablet or PC).

If you have given your consent to this, Google connects your web and app browser history with your Google account. This way, any time you log into a device with your Google account, the same personalized advertising messages can be accessed.

To support this function, Google Analytics records Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily connected with our Google-Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device indication of advertising messages.

You can permanently revoke the cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google account. To do this, follow this link: www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.

The data recorded in your Google account is only summarized based on consent given or revoked at Google (article 6 section 1 lit. a of the GDPR). In data recording procedures that are not linked in your Google account (for instance, because you do not have a Google account or you have revoked consent for this connection), data recording is based on article 6 section 1 lit. f of the GDPR. The vital interest results from the fact that the Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH as website operator is interested in an anonymized analysis of the website visitors for advertising purposes.

Further information and the data protection regulations are to be found in the data protection statement by Google at: policies.google.com/technologies/ads.

Google Maps
On the website, the Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH uses Google Maps by Google Inc., USA, to represent interactive maps and to create travel descriptions using an API (application programming interface).

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is, as a rule, transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence over this data transmission.

To better protect your data when you visit the website, a layer is placed over the Google Maps applications. You are asked to agree to the use of content on the website accessed by Google Maps. At the same time, we inform you that you can revoke previously given consent; in this way the ’cc_canshowgmap‘ cookie is deleted from your cookie settings. We also point out that the data protection statement by Google is valid during the use of Google Maps.

Once you accept the cookies, the functionality is available.

Google Maps is used to attractively represent the online offers of the Mieruch und Hofmann GmbH and to enable the locations mentioned on the website to be found easily. This is a vital interest according to article. 6 section 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
