As a rule, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and saves on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or suchlike) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any harm to your computer and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

The cookie stores information which arises in conjunction with the specifically used end device. This does not mean, however, that this gives us direct knowledge of your identity.

Cookies are used on the one hand so that we can make the use of our offerings more pleasant for you. Therefore, we use session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website.

In addition, we use temporary cookies saved on your end device for a certain defined period to optimise user friendliness. If you visit our website again to use our services, it is automatically recognised that you were already here before and which entries and settings you made so that you do not have to repeat them.

Web analysis

The tracking and targeting measures listed below and used by us are only carried out if you have given your consent.

With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the ongoing optimisation of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and for the purpose of optimising our offer for you.

By means of the targeting measures used, we want to ensure that you are only shown advertising on your end devices that is oriented to your actual or presumed interests.

These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking and targeting tools.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see sect. 4) are used.

The information generated through the use of cookies about your usage of this website (such as IP-address of the accessing computer, time of access, referrer URL and information on the browser and operating system used) are transmitted to and stored on a server belonging to Google in the USA. Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield and is registered with the U.S. Department of Commerce’s U.S. Privacy Shield program, which guarantees compliance with EU data protection laws. (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active ).

We use Google Analytics on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR for the purpose of analysis and optimization of our website as well as the economic operation of this website. Google therefore processes the information on our behalf in order to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and ensuring an internet experience tailored to users’ needs. We have also concluded a data processing contract with Google for the use of Google Analytics. In this contract Google undertakes to process data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and to ensure that the rights of the persons concerned are protected.

We only use Google Analytics with enabled IP anonymization. This means that Google shortens the IP address of the user within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

We have enabled the Google Analytics advertising features. This allows us to report on target audiences, demographics such as age, gender and interests of site visitors, as well as our marketing campaigns. This information comes from campaigns conducted on Google services, interest-based advertising from Google, the Google Display Network, and third-party visitor information. This does not directly reveal your identity to us. With the help of these reports, we can evaluate the user behaviour in connection with our online offers even better and optimize the addressing of target groups.

If you do not wish your user behaviour to be included in these reports, you can deactivate this, for example, via the ad settings in a separate Google account or prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics as described below. You can also limit collection by not signing in to your own Google Account when you visit our pages.

We do not use the Universal Analytics with User ID offered by Google.

Furthermore, this information may be transferred to third parties to the extent that this may be legally required or those third parties process these data on our behalf.

The user data collected via cookies will be deleted automatically after 14 months.

You can block the installation of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your web browser software; however, please note that if you do so, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

If you belong to the target group, you will be shown corresponding adverts by us on Facebook. During this process, you will not be personally identified, either by us or by Facebook, through the comparison of the data.
