3. Data collection on our website

Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.

Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or are technically necessary are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyse your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy and only stored on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

4. Analytics and advertising

Cookiebot by Usercentrics

We use the Cookiebot by Usercentrics tool to obtain consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Cookiebot by Usercentrics is operated by Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Kopenhage, Denmark. The tool shows you a categorised display of the cookies used or that can be used on the website, together with an explanation of the specific purpose for which they are used.

When you visit our website for the first time, the tool is displayed as a pop-up window. Within this tool, you can then set your cookie preferences for our website. A setting option is available for all optional cookies. Technically necessary cookies are set immediately when you visit our website. The setting of a technically necessary cookie is also required for the use of the cookie consent tool Cookiebot by Usercentrics.

You can use Cookiebot by Usercentrics to give your consent to the setting of optional cookies, which are described in more detail below. You can also use the tool to withdraw your consent. If you would like to change your cookie settings, click [HERE] – you can then customise your cookie preferences (bracket icon at the bottom left).

You also have the option of revoking any consent you have given by accessing the tool via the link above and changing the selection for the cookie in question.

Under certain circumstances, you can also prevent the setting of cookies directly with the provider of the respective cookie. If such an option is available, you will be informed of this below.

The setting of cookies can also be prevented under certain circumstances by means of certain browser settings and/or browser extensions.

The legal basis for the use of Cookiebot by Usercentrics is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. We have concluded a contract with Cookiebot by Usercentrics for commissioned data processing.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service. It is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House Barrow Street Dublin 4, Irland (following: Google).

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and that allow an analysis of the use of the website by you. 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.

The storage of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. af GDPR, i.e. your express consent.

IP anonymization
We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. Prior to transmission to the United States, your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union or other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address is sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.

Browser plugin
You can prevent these cookies from being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we wish to point out that doing so may mean you will not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) from being passed to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Objecting to the collection of data
You can prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected on future visits to this site: Disable Google Analytics.

For more information about how Google Analytics handles user data, see Google’s privacy policy: support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.

Outsourced data processing
We have entered into an agreement with Google for the outsourcing of our data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Demographic data collection by Google Analytics
The Google Analytics’ demographic features have been deactivated on this website.

Google Analytics Remarketing
The features of Google Analytics Remarketing have been deactivated on this website.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House Barrow Street Dublin 4, Irland (following: Google).

As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.

Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. af GDPR, i.e. your express consent. For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Google Tagmanager

We use the service called Google Tag Manager from Google. “Google” is a group of companies consisting of Google Ireland Ltd (provider of the service), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland and Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA and other affiliated companies of Google LLC.

We have concluded an order processing contract with Google. Google Tag Manager is an auxiliary service and processes personal data itself only for technically necessary purposes. Google Tag Manager ensures that other components are loaded, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.

Further information on Google Tag Manager can be found in Google’s privacy policy.

Please note that American authorities, such as intelligence agencies, could possibly gain access to personal data that is inevitably exchanged with Google via the Internet Protocol (TCP) when integrating this service due to American laws such as the Cloud Act.

5. Plugins and tools

YouTube
Our website uses plugins from YouTube, which is operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

We use a two-click solution for the integration of YouTube. A connection to YouTube and Google is only established after the user has given their express consent by clicking on the corresponding button above the embedded video.

If you agree to the use of YouTube by giving your separate consent, a connection to the YouTube servers will be established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited.

If you’re logged in to your YouTube account, YouTube allows you to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube is used only on the basis of your express consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Further information about handling user data, can be found in the data protection declaration of YouTube under: https://www.google.de/intl/en/policies/privacy.
