2.9 Use of Google Analytics
The website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of this service is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This provider uses the cookies described above, e.g. to collect information about your operating system, browser, IP address, the website previously visited, and the date and time of your visit to the operator's website. The information generated by the cookies about the use of the website is transmitted to a Google server in Ireland and stored there. If necessary, the data can also be transferred to the USA. For cases of data transfer to the USA, Google has a certification for the Privacy Shield Agreement. More information can be found directly on Google https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks?gl=de.
Google will use this information to evaluate the usage of the website, to compile reports on website activity for the operator and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage. If this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google, Google will also pass on this information to these third parties. This usage is anonym or pseudomized. You can find more information directly on Google https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

2.10 Outdoor-Active Tracking Pixel
Contents of the website www.tourenplaner-rheinland-pfalz.de are reproduced on this website. These contents are linked to a tracking pixel, which collects and processes data about the access to these contents. The operator of the website www.tourenplaner-rheinland-pfalz.de, the Outdooractive GmbH & Co. KG, use the information thus obtained to measure the access to the contents (for example, overlays, page views, actions, downloads). The results will be made available to the operator for analysis. In this way, the operator can determine which contents of the website www.tourenplaner-rheinland-pfalz.de are particularly popular. The tracking pixel does not collect and process personally identifiable information.
The admissibility of this processing is governed by Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest).
2.11 Social Plugins
The operator uses social plugins from various social networks (e.g. Facebook). With the help of these plugins you can, for example, share content or recommend products. The plugins are deactivated by default and therefore do not send data to other websites. By clicking on the "Share" button, you can activate all plugins (so-called 2-click solution). Of course, the plugins can be deactivated with one click. If these plugins are activated, your browser will establish a direct connection with the servers of the respective social network as soon as you access the operator's website. The content of the plugin is transmitted from the social network directly to your browser and incorporated by it into the website. By integrating the plugins, the social network receives the information that you have accessed the operator's corresponding page. If you are logged in to the social network, it can assign the visit to your account. When you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the social network and stored there. To learn more about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by social networks, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective networks. If you do not want social networks to collect information about you through the operator's Website, you must log out of these networks or disable the social plugins before visiting our website. Even if you are not logged in to the social networks, websites with active social plugins can send data to these networks. An active plugin sets a cookie with an ID each time the website is accessed. Since your browser sends this cookie unasked every time it connects to a network server, the network could in principle create a profile that accesses the users' websites belonging to the ID. And it would also be quite possible to assign this identifier later again to a person ‒for example, when later logging in to the social network.
The operator uses your data to link the website to various social networks. The admissibility of this processing depends on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent).
The operator uses in particular the following plugins:
• Facebook (provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304 USA). You can access the Facebook Privacy Policy here: https:// www.facebook.com/about/privacy/your-info#public-info

3. Storage
Unless otherwise stated, your personal data will be deleted immediately after processing or after expiry of any existing statutory retention obligations, unless the person responsible has a legitimate interest in further storage.

4. Rights of Persons Affected
