WhatsApp, Google Analytics, and Google Tag Manager


This website uses a WhatsApp click-to-chat button to allow visitors to initiate conversations via WhatsApp. We track interactions with the WhatsApp button using Google Analytics 4 (GA4) and Google Tag Manager (GTM) to measure user engagement and improve our services. The provider of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Data collected may be transferred to the USA and other third countries in accordance with Google's privacy policies.


When you click the WhatsApp button, a direct connection is established between your device and WhatsApp servers, operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland. This action may transmit your IP address and other technical data (e.g., browser type, operating system, or time of access) to WhatsApp. If you are logged into your WhatsApp account, WhatsApp may associate this interaction with your account. We have no control over the data processed by WhatsApp after the click. For more information, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/privacy-policy.


To track WhatsApp button clicks, we use Google Tag Manager to deploy a GA4 event tag that records the event (e.g., "whatsapp_clicks") when the button is clicked. This involves the following data processing:


  • Data Collected: When you click the WhatsApp button, Google Tag Manager captures the event and may collect data such as the click URL (containing "wa.me"), device information, and the page URL where the click occurred. This data is sent to Google Analytics 4 for analysis.
  • Purpose: The data is used to measure the number of clicks on the WhatsApp button, allowing us to assess user interest and optimize our website's functionality. This tracking is limited to the initial click on the website and does not extend to actions within the WhatsApp platform.
  • Legal Basis: The processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., device fingerprinting). Consent can be revoked at any time. If no consent is provided, tracking may be based on our legitimate interest in optimizing our website (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  • Setup: In Google Tag Manager, we configure a trigger (type: "Just Links") with a condition to capture clicks on URLs containing "wa.me". A GA4 event tag is created with a descriptive event name (e.g., "whatsapp_clicks") and linked to our GA4 Measurement ID. You can verify successful tracking in GA4's DebugView or real-time reports.
  • Data Transfer: Data processed by Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager may be transferred to Google servers in the USA, based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/ and https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/. Google is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF), ensuring compliance with European data protection standards: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.


You can prevent tracking by adjusting your browser settings to disable cookies or by logging out of your WhatsApp account before clicking the button. Note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this feature. For more information on Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.


We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with Google to ensure that your data is processed only in accordance with our instructions and GDPR requirements.
