Cookies

Information Collected Automatically: Like many other commercial websites, we may also gather information in connection with your use of the website or Service through the use of cookies and other similar technologies such as server logs, pixel tags, web beacons, user website activity and JavaScript (collectively, “Cookies”) to enable us to recognize your web browser or device and tell us how and when you visit and use our Service, to analyze trends, to learn about our user base, and to operate and improve our Service.

Please note that because of our use of Cookies, the Service does not support “Do Not Track” requests sent from a browser at this time.

We use the following types of Cookies:

Essential Cookies. Essential Cookies are required for providing you with features or services that you have requested. For example, certain Cookies enable you to log into secure areas of our Service. Disabling these Cookies may make certain features and services unavailable.

Advertising policy and third-party services

Third-Party Links and Websites

Our Services and related websites may link to the websites of other companies and/or individuals. Further, certain functionalities on the Services may involve the distribution of your information to third-party websites. These third-party websites may collect information about users on those websites, and this Privacy Policy does not extend to these external websites and third parties. Please refer directly to these third parties and websites regarding their privacy policies.

Use of Google reCaptcha

To protect your inquiries via internet forms and for data security when submitting forms, in certain cases we use the reCaptcha service from Google Inc. The query is used to distinguish whether the entry was made by a human or improperly through automated, machine processing. The service includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCaptcha service to Google. Google’s different data protection regulations apply to this. For more information, see Google's privacy policy.

Web analysis through Google Analytics, Adwords, Maps

Scope of processing of personal data

The website of Health-State.com uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, to protect your data, we have set up an IP anonymization tool on our website so that your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union and in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The following data is stored:
  • Two bytes of the IP address of the user's calling system;
  • The website accessed;
  • The website from which the user accessed the website accessed (referrer);
  • The subpages that are accessed from the website being accessed;
  • The time spent on the website;
  • The frequency of accessing the website;
  • Users’ personal data is only stored there. Data will not be passed on to other third parties.

On this website we use the offer of Google Maps, another offer from Google, Inc. This serves the purpose of showing you interactive maps directly on the website, making it easy to find the places we have indicated on the website and making it convenient to use to enable map function.

This application is accessed directly from Google servers so that the company receives the IP address currently assigned to you. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. Whether and to what extent or over what period of time the IP address is stored by Google and used internally is beyond our knowledge.

If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, it is possible that Google will use your IP address and save it to create a profile. Google stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and/or needs-based design of your website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) to display tailored advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles on Google. Further information on data protection at Google can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en-US

Google Ads Advertising and Remarketing

In order to draw attention to our offers, we place ads in the Google search network and advertising banners in the Google Display Network (banners on third-party websites) and use remarketing from Google Ads or Analytics. We may combine ads with search terms or use customized ads to promote products and services that you have viewed on our site. Ads remarketing lists allow us to optimize search and display campaigns if you have previously visited our site.

For this interest-based advertising, Google analyzes your user behavior using cookies that are set when you click on ads or visit our websites. We and Google then receive information that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to us. Based on these evaluations, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective and can thereby optimize them.

The statistics that Google provides us include the number of users who clicked on one of our advertisements and show which of our websites you were redirected to. We can also address you more specifically if you have already been to our website. We can also understand which search terms were clicked on ads particularly often and which ads led to the purchase of a subscription.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating Ads Advertising, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website accessed or clicked on an advert from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider will find out and store your IP address.

You can find more information about this in the information on website statistics and in Google's data protection regulations.

You can prevent this technology by preventing the use of cookies via your browser settings, deselecting individual types of ads in Google's ad settings, deactivating interest-based ads on Google or cookies from advertising providers using the respective deactivation help of the Network Advertising Initiative deactivate. We and Google then only receive statistical information about how many users visited a page and when. This can only be prevented using appropriate browser extensions.
