Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small text files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device when you visit our website. Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we immediately become aware of your identity. These cookies are set as first-party cookies (“own cookies”) or third-party cookies (“third-party cookies”). First-party cookies are set by the website on which you are currently located and are not made accessible by browsers across domains. A third-party cookie, on the other hand, is set by a third party, i.e. not by the actual website you are currently on. Cookies are also divided into technically necessary and technically unnecessary cookies. Both technically necessary cookies and technically unnecessary cookies are set on our website in accordance with the following paragraphs.

Technically necessary cookies are absolutely essential for the operation of our website and are used, for example, to enable you to use certain functions. These technically necessary cookies, which are only required and set for the individual necessary online session, are automatically deleted after leaving our website.

If you have given your consent, we use so-called technically unnecessary cookies on our website. The technically unnecessary cookies are mainly used to evaluate the use of the website and user behavior, to compile reports on the activities of visitors to the website and to provide other services related to the use of the website. The technically unnecessary cookies we use are explained in our cookie banner with regard to how they work, their duration and possible third-party recipients of the data. If certain third-party providers used by us set cookies as part of the service provided for us, this is also indicated separately in our privacy policy. The legal basis for the use of technically unnecessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR, provided that you have given your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. You also have the option of configuring the setting of cookies at any time. For example, you can set your browser so that it informs you in advance about the setting of cookies or you can completely deactivate cookies.

Java applets and Java script are used to provide our website. If you do not wish to use these auxiliary programs or active content for security reasons, you should deactivate the corresponding setting in your browser.

Online marketing / analysis tools

With the statistical collection through online marketing measures, we want to design our website according to your needs and continuously adapt it for you, as our user, and optimize its use. Unless otherwise stated below, the online marketing and tracking measures used by us are based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR. If your data is transferred to the USA, this is done on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 S.1 lit. a GDPR. In addition, the service providers concerned have given us a commitment under a standard contractual clause that a level of data protection equivalent to that in the EU will be guaranteed in third countries outside the EU to which data is exported.

Google Analytics

If you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited “Google”, is used on this website. The use includes the “Universal Analytics” operating mode; this makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze the activities of a user across devices. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended to include IP anonymization in order to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can find more information on terms of use and data protection at (https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://policies.google.com/?hl=de). Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.

The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.

You can find more information on the terms of use and data protection of Google Analytics at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.

You can prevent the installation and storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

An opt-out cookie is set to prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website: Deactivate Google Analytics. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

Google Ads / Conversion Tracking

We also use the online advertising program “Google Ads” as part of Google Ads conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on your device. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. This means that there is no possibility that cookies can be tracked via websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. This tells customers the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com” by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). They will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/ , http://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

This website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google AdSense uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to analyze information such as visitor traffic on these pages. The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of this website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information may be passed on by Google to Google’s contractual partners. However, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored by you. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

Google Tag Manager

Google Tag Manager is used on this website. With the Google Tag Manager it is possible to manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager. You can find more information about Google Tag Manager at https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

LinkedIn

Plugins of the social network LinkedIn are integrated on our website. The provider is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Clicking on the LinkedIn button establishes a connection to the LinkedIn servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by LinkedIn directly to your browser, which integrates it into the website. As a result, the information that you have visited our website is forwarded to LinkedIn.

If you are logged in with your LinkedIn account, clicking on the LinkedIn button allows your visit to our website to be directly associated with your profile. Even if you do not have a profile, it cannot be ruled out that your IP address will be stored by LinkedIn.

We would like to point out that, as the provider of the website, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by LinkedIn. Further information on LinkedIn’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

We take all necessary technical and organizational security measures to store your personal data in such a way that it is not accessible to third parties or the public. If you wish to contact us by e-mail, we would like to point out that the confidentiality of the information transmitted cannot be fully guaranteed with this method of communication.
