Web Analytics with Dealfront (Leadfeeder)
Our website uses Leadfeeder technology (Leadfeeder Finland Oy, part of Leadfeeder Group GmbH) to analyze visitor behavior. During this process, a visitor’s IP address is processed. The IP address is processed to help us understand which companies (B2B) are visiting our website. As part of this processing, the IP address is enriched with associated information such as the company name or industry code. For this purpose, at the start of the session, the website visitor’s IP address and the corresponding session data are compared against a comprehensive whitelist of known companies. As part of this processing, Leadfeeder uses so-called first-party cookies to analyze visitor behavior.
If we process personal data in this context, we do so based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in optimizing our products, services, sales, and marketing. To prevent this processing, website visitors can install and configure appropriate ad blockers or use NoScript plugins in their browser.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with Leadfeeder to ensure compliance with applicable data protection standards.

After activation, a direct link to the relevant social network is established. If you are logged into a social network, this provider can assign the visit to your account. If you do not want this to take place, we recommend logging out of your account beforehand.

This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the EU General Data Protection Regulation came into force, i.e., before May 25, 2018.
