Improvement of our online presence

We collect, process and use the following data to improve the design and content of our web pages, the functions of our online presence and the user-friendliness of our web pages:

Date and time of the website visit
the website from which you accessed our website
the operating system used by you
the browser used by you
the IP address with which you visit our website
the language settings used on your device
the pages of our online presence that you have accessed or the files downloaded from our websites
the amount of data transferred during your visit to our website
a message telling you whether the visit to our website was successful
We collect, process and use this data exclusively for the aforementioned statistical and non-commercial purposes in anonymous or pseudonymised form, so that a conclusion about your person is prevented as far as possible.

Cookies

We use “cookies” on our web pages. Cookies are text files that are placed on the memory of the device from which you accessed our website.

We use both permanent cookies and temporary cookies (so-called session cookies). Permanent cookies can be stored on your device for a few seconds to several years. Temporary cookies are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser or end the session.

Cookies help us

in identifying the frequency of visits to the areas of the website
to recognize the preferences of our website visitors and to be able to optimally design the websites accordingly
to facilitate navigation on our websites and thus increase the user-friendliness of our websites
to keep information available for a certain period of time and to identify the website visitor’s computer as soon as they return to our website. This makes it possible, for example, to use the settings you have previously selected so that you do not have to make the settings again (e.g. language settings, log-in information).
If you do not want cookies to be stored on your device, you can set your browser so that it notifies you of the placement of cookies or does not accept them. You can also decide whether you want to accept or block a few or all categories of cookies. You can find further information on the handling of cookies in the online help of your browser.

If you block cookies used by us, we would like to inform you that you may not be able to use individual functions of our website or only be able to use them to a limited extent.

Google Analytics

In order to design our websites according to your needs, we use Google Analytics, a web tracking tool from Google Inc., to create pseudonymised user profiles. Google Analytics uses cookies which are stored on your device and which enable an analysis of the use of the website by you. The information generated by the cookies is usually transferred to a server of Google Inc. in the USA and stored there. Since we have activated the IP anonymisation function on our websites, the IP address used by you or your device will be shortened and thus anonymised by Google before it is stored in the USA within member states of the EU or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the complete IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and only shortened there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services to us relating to website activity.

You can object to the creation of user profiles about your surfing behaviour at any time by clicking here:

Set an “opt-out cookie” (see information at: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/?hl=en#disable), which tells Google not to store or use your data for web analysis purposes. This alternative to preventing web analysis is only possible as long as the opt-out cookie is stored on your device. As soon as you remove all or this cookie from your computer, you must set the “opt-out cookie” again if you still do not agree to the creation of a user profile.
Make the appropriate settings in the browser you are using.
install a browser plug-in (= add-on) which prevents tracking. This can be found at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en (if supported by the browser you are using).

Facebook & FB Pixel Cookie

On our websites we use plugins of the social network “Facebook”, which is operated by Facebook Inc. The plugins used on our websites are marked with a Facebook logo, a “like button” or the addition “FacebookSocialPlugin”.

When you visit our websites that contain such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection between your browser and Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into our website by it. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that you have visited our websites with your IP address. If you are logged in to Facebook during your visit to our websites, it is possible for Facebook to assign your visit to our websites to your Facebook account. If you click the “Like” button or post a comment while logged into your Facebook account, the relevant information is transferred directly from your browser to Facebook and stored by Facebook. This makes it possible for Facebook to assign your visit to our websites to your Facebook profile.

In addition, we use the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” of Facebook Inc. (“Facebook”). This function is used to present interest-related advertisements (“Facebook Ads”) to visitors to this website as part of their visit to the social network Facebook. For this purpose, the remarketing tag of Facebook was implemented on this website. This tag establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers when you visit the website. The Facebook server is notified that you have visited this website and Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. Alternatively, you can disable the remarketing function “Custom Audiences” at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_=_ for more information about how Facebook collects and uses the data. To do this, you must be logged in to Facebook.

The purpose and scope of the collection, processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as your rights and settings to protect your privacy when using Facebook can be found in Facebook’s data policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

As a website operator, we do not receive any information about the content of the data transmitted to Facebook or about its use by Facebook.

If you do not want Facebook to collect, process or use data about your visit to our websites and link it to your Facebook profile, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our websites or switch off the use of so-called “Java scripts” in your browser or block the automatic execution of scripts for the domain “www.facebook.com”.

Twitter

Our websites contain functions of the “Twitter” service, which are offered by Twitter Inc. By using Twitter and the “Re-Tweet” function, our websites you visit are linked to your Twitter account. This link will be announced to other Twitter users, in particular to your “followers”.

If you click on the “Twitter button”, corresponding information is transmitted from your browser to Twitter and stored there.

The purpose and scope of the collection, processing and use of the data by Twitter as well as your rights and settings to protect your privacy when using Twitter can be found in Twitter’s privacy policy (https://twitter.com/privacy).

As a website operator, we do not receive any information about the content of the data transmitted to Twitter or about its use by Twitter.

If you do not want Twitter to collect, process or use data about your visit to our websites and link it to your Twitter account, you must log out of Twitter before visiting our websites or switch off the use of so-called “Java scripts” in your browser or block the automatic execution of scripts for the domain “www.twitter.com”.

YouTube plugins and YouTube videos

Our websites contain YouTube plugins or videos published on the “YouTube” platform. YouTube is an offer from Google Inc. When you visit our websites that contain a YouTube plug-in or video, a connection is established to YouTube’s servers and YouTube is informed which of our websites you have visited. YouTube will place cookies on your device during this process.

If you are logged into your YouTube account during your visit to our websites that contain a YouTube plug-in or video, YouTube may assign your visit to our websites to your YouTube account.

If you are logged into your YouTube account during your visit to our websites that contain a YouTube plug-in or video and activate a YouTube plug-in by selecting a video button on our websites or leave a comment on our video uploaded to YouTube, YouTube will assign this information to your YouTube account.

If you do not want YouTube to collect, process or use data about your visit to our websites and link it to your user account, you must log out of YouTube before visiting our websites and block YouTube from setting cookies in your browser or delete cookies that YouTube has set in the past from your computer.

You will find further information on the purposes and scope of the collection, processing and use of your data by YouTube in Google Terms of Use (https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/).

Google Maps

Our web pages use “Google Maps” to display interactive maps on our web pages. Google Maps is a service of Google Inc. By using the interactive map embedded on our websites, you agree that Google (or one of its representatives or third party providers) may process and use your automatically collected location data, user identification data and usage data as well as the location data voluntarily entered by you.

If you do not want Google to collect, process or use data about your visit to our website, you must disable the use of so-called “Java scripts” in your browser or block the execution of scripts for the domain “www.google.de/maps”.

Further information on the terms of use of Google Maps and the use of your data by Google as well as your rights and settings to protect your privacy when using Google Maps can be found in the privacy policy & terms of use of Google (http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/) as well as the additional terms of use for Google Maps / Google Earth (http://www.google.com/intl/de_ALL/help/terms_maps.html).

Google+ / Google +1

Our websites contain the “Google+” / “+1” button of the social network “Google Plus”, which is operated by Google Inc.

If you call up our web pages which contain this button, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of Google. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Google to your browser and integrated into the website you have called up. This gives Google the information that and which of our websites you have visited.

If you are logged into your Google+ account during your visit to our website, Google can assign your visit to our website to your user account.

The purpose and scope of the collection, processing and use of data by Google, as well as your rights and settings to protect your privacy when using Google+, are set out in Google’s Privacy Policy & Terms of Use (https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/) and in Google+’s Buttons Policy (https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy).

As a website operator, we do not receive any information about the content of the data transmitted to Google or about its use by Google.

If you do not want Google to collect, process or use data about your visit to our websites and link it to your user account, you must log out of Google+ before visiting our websites or switch off the use of so-called “Java scripts” in your browser or block the execution of scripts for the domain “www.google.com”.
