The IP address is processed for technical and administrative purposes, including connection establishment and stability, to ensure the security and functionality of our website and to investigate unlawful attacks if necessary.

5. Web Analytics / Tracking

LeadLab (Wiredminds GmbH)

We use the LeadLab service provided by Wiredminds GmbH on our website, including its tracking pixel technology, to analyze user behavior and optimize our website accordingly. In particular, this service enables us to identify which companies have visited our website. We do not receive information that directly identifies you as an individual.

Tracking pixels are used to statistically analyze website usage. Wiredminds processes this information under a pseudonym in a usage profile for analysis purposes and anonymizes it as far as possible.

The collected data is not used to personally identify you without your explicit consent and is not merged with other personal data.

If IP addresses are collected, they are anonymized immediately by deleting the last segment.
