7. Google Maps
On our website, we might use the map service Google Maps (API) from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google") to show our location.
When you enter the page on which the Google map is integrated, our website sends various pieces of information including your IP address to Google USA where they will be stored on its servers. If you have a Google Account and are logged in at the time you visit our site, the information will be associated directly with your account. But even without a user account, Google will create a user profile about you. This happens regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or no such user account exists.
Our transfer of data to Google supports our legitimate interest in offering you the map function of Google Maps on our website.
You can prevent the linking of the data we transmit to your user account by logging out of Google before you visit our website. To completely stop the data transfer to Google, you have to switch off the JavaScript application in your browser. The map display can then no longer be used.
More information about Google and the use of Google Maps can be found here:

IV. Usage analysis and tracking
We would like to further improve the usability of this website and the appeal of our services. For this reason, we also collect data on user behavior that we evaluate for this purpose when you visit our website. For this reason, the following tracking and analysis cookies are used on our website in addition to the technically required cookies described below.
1. Google (Universal) Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google. Using a cookie, Google collects information about your use of this website (including your IP address) in the USA and stores this information. We use Google Analytics exclusively using an anonymization feature. This means that, before transmitting it, Google will shorten the IP address of users within member states of the European Union or in other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in rare cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Analyzing the information collected, Google sends us reports on user activities on our website while providing us with additional services for this purpose. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
In addition to blocking all cookies, you can prevent Google from processing your data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under this link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
As an alternative to the browser plugin or within browsers on mobile devices, please click on the following link to set an opt-out cookie that will prevent future collection by Google Analytics within this website (this opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain; if you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again): Disable Google Analytics.
More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
2. Google AdWords
Our website uses Google's AdWords advertising tool including its conversion and remarketing function.
The remarketing tool allows us to display targeted advertising on other websites you visit. For this purpose, Google analyses your use of our website and stores a corresponding ID in your browser. This ID allows us to assign you to a specific user group and to recognize you when you visit websites that are part of Google's advertising network. These websites can then display advertisements related to your use of our website. During this process, Google does not collect any personal data; you are assigned to a specific user group exclusively through your browser. The collected data is stored and processed in the USA.
We use conversion tracking to determine how successful advertising for our services is on other websites. To do this, a conversion cookie is set when you click on one of our ads. We use this cookie to recognize that you came to our site through this ad. With such usage statistics, we create statistics to evaluate the conversion of our ads. We do not obtain any personal information. The conversion cookie that is set in your browser is unique and cannot be used by other Google AdWords customers for their statistics.
You can prevent this remarketing by deactivating the function under https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin
You can find more information about remarketing and Google's privacy policy at the following Internet addresses:

3. Doubleclick
Innovo Consulting also uses Google's Doubleclick service. As part of this service, a cookie is set and a pseudonymous identification number (ID) is assigned to your browser. The cookie determines whether and which advertisements were displayed and clicked in your browser. This enables us to tailor your advertising even closer to your interests. Since we have activated Google's IP anonymization on this website, your IP address is also shortened within the scope of Doubleclick before being transmitted by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to Google in the USA and only shortened there. Analyzing the information it collects, Google sends us reports on user activities on our website while providing us with additional services for this purpose. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
In addition to the above-mentioned general options for preventing cookies, you can also prevent Google from saving the Doubleclick cookie by downloading a browser plugin. This can be found here.
V. Opt-out and deletion option
If any data processing is linked to your consent or legitimate interest, you have the right to object to the processing or to revoke your consent at any time. Your objection or revocation has a forward-looking effect only. If the analytics cookies used to carry their own technical options for deactivation, this is shown in the explanation above. You may at any time exercise your right of objection or revocation by contacting privacy@innovoconsulting.eu. If you object to processing on the basis of our legitimate interest, we may nevertheless continue processing if we can prove compelling reasons for protecting processing which outweighs your interests, rights, and freedoms.
