6.1 General

Furthermore, cookies will be stored on your computer when you use our website. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your hard drive and attributed to the browser you use, and with which the controller setting the cookie (i.e. in this case us) receives certain information. Cookies cannot execute any programmes or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to render the internet services more user-friendly and more effective as a whole. The legal basis for the use of cookies on our website is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

We use session cookies to operate our website. These cookies store a so-called session-ID with which various enquiries of your browser can be attributed to the joint session. This allows for your computer to be recognized when you return to the website. The session cookies will be deleted when you close the browser.

You may also prevent the use of cookies by adjusting the settings in your browser software accordingly. We would like to point out that if you prevent the use of cookies, you might not be able to fully use this website.

6.2 Services of the third party provider Google

Cookies are also used in connection with the use of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager. You will find more detailed information on this under the following paragraphs 7. and 8.

Third party information: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.

The user conditions are available at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, the data protection overview at http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html and the data protection declaration at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy. There you will also find further information on your rights and settings to protect your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google also processes your personal data in the USA and has committed itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. Since the EU-US Privacy Shield has been declared invalid by the European Court of Justice, Google bases the processing of your personal data in the USA on EU standard contractual clauses as appropriate safeguards for the protection of your personal data within the meaning of Art. 46 (2) lit. c GDPR.

The legal basis for the use of these cookies on our website is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

Please note, that your consent also includes that your data may be processed in the USA. For this reason, we would like to inform you in accordance with Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR, that the USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with no adequate level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for surveillance and investigation purposes, possibly without the opportunity for legal remedies.

Your consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future by changing your cookie settings.

In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by cookies and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

7. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics. Google Analytics is a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google").

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activity. For this purpose we have concluded a data processing agreement with Google.

When you visit our website, the following data, among others, can be recorded:

  • The pages you call up, your "click path"
  • Achievement of "website objectives" (conversions, e.g. newsletter subscriptions, downloads, purchases)
  • Your user behaviour (e.g. clicks, dwell time, drop-off)
  • Your approximate location (region)
  • Your IP address (in shortened form)- technical information about your browser and the devices you use (e.g. language settings, screen resolution)
  • Your internet provider
  • The referrer URL (via which website/advertising medium you came to this website)

Moreover, we use Google Analytics for a multi-device analysis of the flow of visitors which is carried out via a user ID. You can deactivate the multi-device analysis of your use in your user account (https://myaccount.google.com) under “My Data”, “Personal Data”.

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. Google LLC, headquartered in California, USA, and possibly US authorities can thus access the data stored by Google.

We use Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". However, in the event that IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states which are parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

8. Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution with which marketers can manage website tags via a surface. The Tool Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a domain not using cookies and does not collect any personal data. The tool provides for other tags to be triggered which, in turn, might collect data, as the case may be. Google Tag Manager does not access these data. If tags have been deactivated on domain or cookie level, such deactivation will remain in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager. The use policy for Google Tag Manager can be retrieved under http://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html.

Please click here to be excluded from the collection via Google Tag Manager.

9. Google Maps

We use the Google Maps service on this website. This enables us to directly display to you interactive maps on the website and make it possible for you to comfortably use the map function.

When visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have called up a corresponding page on our website. The data referred to in lit. 3 of this statement are also transmitted. This occurs irrespective of whether Google has been provided with a user account through which you have logged in or whether there is no user account. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be attributed directly to your account. If you do not want any attribution to your profile at Google, you must log out of your Google account prior to calling up the map on Google Maps. Google stores your data as a use profile and uses the data for purposes of advertising, market research and/or a demand-based design of its website. Such an analysis is made especially (even for users who are not logged in) to provide advertising based on demand and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the production of this user profile, however, you must contact Google in order to exercise this right.
