We use the functions of Google Analytics to analyse site usage, e.g. in the form of anonymous evaluations and graphics on page views and visits, as well as for remarketing, reports on impressions in the Google Display Network, integration of DoubleClick Campaign Manager and Google Analytics reports on performance according to demographics and interests.

5. Legal bases for processing data
Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR says that date can be processed where it “is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights or freedoms which require protection of personal data.”
We believe that our activities focus on helping us to offer a more tailored service.
6. Consent
In certain circumstances, we are required to obtain consent to the processing of personal data as soft / opt-in consent consent.
Article 4(11) of the GDPR states that (opt-in) consent is “any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.” This means:
- You have to give us your consent freely, usually in an unsolicitied manner;
- You have to know what you are consenting to – see the Privacy Policy;
- You should have control over which processing activities you consent to – see the Privacy Policy;
- You need to take positive and affirmative action in giving us your consent – see the Privacy Policy and the email that you can submit.
You have the right to withdraw your consent to these activities and you can do so at any time.
7. Establishing, exercising or defending legal claims
Sometimes it may be necessary for us to process personal data and, where appropriate and in accordance with local laws and requirements, sensitive personal data in connection with exercising or defending legal claims.
Article 9(2)(f) of the GDPR allows this where the processing “is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or whenever courts are acting in their judicial capacity.”
This may arise for example where we need to take legal advice in relation to legal proceedings or are required by law to preserve or disclose certain information as part of the legal process.
