Cookies
Cookies are very small text files used by internet sites, which your browser stores on your computer and certain information accrues at the place where the cookies are saved (in this case by us). Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer.
Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be ascribed to a particular session. This will allow your computer to be recognised when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies from the security settings of your browser options at any time.
This information is used to optimise our offerings and to make browsing our pages more convenient for you. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
You can set your internet browser to notify you as soon as a web server wants to send a cookie to you. You can then accept or reject the cookie. You can configure your browser setting according to your wishes, e.g. to decline the acceptance of third-party cookies or all cookies. Please be aware that you may not be able to use all features of this site if you do not allow cookies. You can find out more about this in the help system of your internet browser.

Logfiles
Each time you access our site, we collect the following information about your computer: the IP address of your computer, the request received from your browser and the time of this request. Additionally, the status and amount of data transferred as part of this request are recorded, along with product and version information about your browser and the operating system of your computer.

The IP address of your computer is only stored for the duration of your use of our website, and then immediately deleted or anonymised by shortening it.

We use this data for the operation of our website, in particular to detect and eliminate website errors, to determine the usage of the website and to make adjustments or improvements (legal basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.).
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files that are stored on your computer that allow us to analyse your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is normally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or other states party to the agreement in the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to gather more information for the website operator about website usage and internet services. The IP address provided your browser as part of the Google Analytics service will not be merged with other data held by Google. You can block the storage of cookies through the respective settings on your browser software; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to the fullest extent possible. Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de or alternatively by clicking on the following link and setting a so-called opt-out cookie:
deactivate Google Analytics using an opt-out cookie.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp ()". Therefore, IP addresses are shortened and processed in order to exclude any direct personal reference. We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. With the gathered statistics we can improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as the user. For the exceptional cases, in which personal data are transferred to the US, Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. For more information about Google's data processing, please see the Google privacy policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
DoubleClick by Google
This website also uses the online marketing tool “DoubleClick” operated by Google. DoubleClick uses cookies to show the user relevant advertisements, to improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same advertisements multiple times. Google uses a cookie ID to determine which advertisements are shown in which browser and thus can prevent them from being displayed multiple times. In addition, DoubleClick uses cookie IDs to capture so-called conversions related to advertisement requests. This is the case if a user sees a DoubleClick advertisement and later goes to the advertiser's website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain personally identifiable information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and further use of the data collected by this tool by Google, and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge: through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have accessed a respective part of our website or have clicked on one of our advertisements. If you are registered with a service provided by Google, Google can ascribe 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 and store your IP address.
You can prevent participation in this tracking process in several ways:
a.) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular the blocking of third-party cookies. This will prevent you from receiving any third-party advertisements;
b.) by disabling the conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain „www.googleadservices.com“, or by following the link https://www.google.de/settings/ads. Please note this setting is cleared when you delete your cookies; c.) by deactivating the interest-based advertisements from providers which are part of the "About Ads" self-regulation campaign, via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices. Please note this setting is cleared when you delete your cookies; d.) by permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser via the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We point out that by doing this you may not comprehensively be able to use all the features of our website offerings.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. You can find more information about DoubleClick by Google at https://www.google.de/doubleclick and https://support.google.com/dfp_premium/answer/2839090?hl=de, as well as information about Google’s general privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Facebook Custom Audiences

This allows users of the website to be shown interest-based advertisements ("Facebook Ads") in the context of their visit to the Facebook social network or other websites that also use the product. In this way, we can show you advertisements that may be of interest to you in order to make our website more interesting for you.
(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to the Facebook server. We have no influence over the extent or further use of the data gathered by the use of this tool by Facebook, and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge: through the integration of Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed a respective part of our website or have clicked on one of our advertisements.
