2. Transfer of data to third parties

2.1 Google Analytics

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. our interest to analyse and optimize the use of this service according to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In case of activation of the IP anonymization, Google will anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of Exasol Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website provider. Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.

Please note that on this website Google Analytics code has been supplemented by “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure the anonymized collection of IP addresses.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Furthermore you can prevent Google’s collection and use of data (cookies and IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

2.2 Google AdWords Conversion Tracking

On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. our interest to analyse and optimize the use of this service according to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR) this website uses the online advertising program Google AdWords which includes a conversion-tracking functionality. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad delivered by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website while the cookie has not yet expired, then Google and Exasol can detect that the user has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer gets a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked throughout the websites of AdWords customers.

The information obtained from the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who decided to use conversion tracking. Customers are informed about the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and have been redirected to a page which included the conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive any information that can identify users personally. Users who do not want to take part in the tracking process can easily disable the Google conversion tracking cookie using their Internet browser’s user settings. These users will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Google’s privacy policy for conversion tracking can be found here.
