Google Analytics 

We use the web analysis tool "Google Analytics" in the design of this E-learning website. Google Analytics creates user profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your end device and accessed by us.  In this way we are able to recognise and measure returning visitors.   

The Google Analytics tool is provided by Google Ireland Limited and Google LLC. (USA) who support us as processors according to Art. 28 of the UK GDPR. The data processing can therefore also take place outside the EU or EEA. With regard to Google LLC (USA), no adequate level of data protection can be assumed due to the processing in the USA. There is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and surveillance purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal. Please take this into account if you decide to give your consent to our use of Google Analytics. 

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) of the UK GDPR, if you have given your consent via our consent banner. The transfer to a third country takes place on the basis of Art. 49(1) (a) of the UK GDPR.  

You can accept or reject Google Analytics at any time. Please click the 'Set privacy option' button at the bottom of this page to change your settings. 
 

Visitor Measurement 

We use web analysis tools in the design of this E-learning website. These create usage profiles based on pseudonyms. For this purpose, permanent cookies are stored on your end device and accessed by us. In addition, it is possible that we access recognition features for your browser or device (e.g. a browser fingerprint or your unabridged IP address). In this way we are able to recognise and measure returning visitors.   

In addition, we use the following functions in the context of visitor measurement: 

  • We enrich the pseudonymous data with additional data provided by third parties. In this way, we are able to record demographic characteristics of our visitors, such as age, gender and place of residence. 
  • We use a recognition method that allows us to record and subsequently evaluate the mouse pointer movements of our visitors. 
  • The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) of the UK if you have given your consent via our consent banner.  

 

We have listed the third-party providers with whom we cooperate in connection with visitor measurement. If the data is processed outside the EU or EEA in this context, please note that there is a risk that authorities may access the data for security and monitoring purposes without you being informed or having the right to appeal. Where we use providers in third countries without an adequate level of protection and you give your consent, the transfer to this third country is based on Art. 49(1)(a) UK GDPR.

Google Ireland Limited  14 months Processing within EU/EEA 
Google LLC (USA)  14 months No adequate level of data protection. The data is transmitted on the basis of Art. 49 (1)(a) of the UK GDPR.
