Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager. This Google service allows website tags to be managed through an interface. Only tags are implemented, i.e. no cookies are set and no personal data is collected. The Tag Manager triggers other tags that may themselves collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been done at the domain or cookie level, it will apply to all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. More information can be found in the Google Tag Manager use policy:https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.
