They also help us to gain insights into visits and usage of our website via Google Analytics and show advertisements on our website via Google Doubleclick for publishers. You can find more information about this at https://policies.google.com/privacy, https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html.
Google Analytics This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland („Google“). Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website.
The information generated by these cookies, for example about the time, place and frequency of your use of this website, is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. When using Google Analytics, it cannot be ruled out that the cookies set by Google Analytics can also collect other personal data in addition to the IP address. We would like to point out that Google may transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.
Google will use the information generated by cookies on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
You can generally prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.
It cannot be ruled out that the cookies set by Google Analytics can collect other personal data in addition to the IP address. To prevent information about your use of the website from being recorded by Google Analytics and transmitted to Google Analytics, you can download and install a plugin for your browser from the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
This plugin prevents information about your visit to the website from being sent to Google Analytics. Another analysis is not prevented by this plugin.
We would like to point out that you cannot use the browser plug-in described above when visiting our website via the browser of a mobile device (smartphone or tablet). When using a mobile device, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your usage data by clicking on the following link: Disable Google Analytics.
By clicking on this link, a so-called opt-out cookie is set in your browser. This prevents information about your visit to the website from being sent to Google Analytics. Please note that the opt-out cookie is only valid for this browser and only for this domain. If you delete the cookies in this browser, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted. To continue preventing Google Analytics from collecting data, you must click the link again. The use of opt-out cookies is also possible as an alternative to the above plug-in when using the browser on your computer.
In order to ensure the best possible protection of your personal data, Google Analytics was expanded to include the code „anonymizeIP“ on this website. This code causes the last 8 bits of the IP address to be deleted and your IP address is thus recorded anonymously (so-called IP masking). In principle, your IP address will be shortened by Google before transmission within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thereby made anonymous. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Google will use the information collected for cross-device marketing. In particular, based on your use of this website on one device, our ads may be targeted to you when you browse on another device. The data collected by Google on this website about Google account users does not allow STABILO to draw any conclusions about the identity of Google account users.

8. Right to Withdraw Consent
Any data subject has the right to withdraw his or her consent to data processing at any time. Social Garden will respond to such a request from the data subject within one month of receipt. This period may be extended by a further 2 months if necessary. Social Garden will inform the data subject of such an extension within one month from receipt of the request, stating the reasons for the extension. This information shall be sent to the data subject electronically, unless the data subject requests the reply in another way.
If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection rights have otherwise been violated in any way, you can complain to us ([email protected]) or the data protection authority.
