Cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small (text) files that are generated and stored on the end device of the user (for instance, smartphone, laptop, tablet, PC). Most cookies are so-called “session cookies” that are deleted at the end of the visit. In specific cases, however, these cookies provide information that allows for automatic recognition of the user. By using a so-called cookie ID, websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser where the cookie was stored.

Cookies are used to make our website more user friendly and to collect statistical data on the use of the website.

If you do not consent to the use of cookies, you have the option of restricting or completely deactivating their use in your browser settings. If cookies are restricted or deactivated, the use of this website may also be restricted.

This website uses content from third-party providers. These can be YouTube videos or graphics from other websites, for instance. In such cases, the third-party provider uses your IP address to make it possible to display this content.

 

Registration function

Users have the option of registering. If personal data is collected during registration (for instance, name, e-mail address), this data is used exclusively for utilisation of the website.

The provider of this website uses the newsletter to inform about specific offers.

If users of this website wish to receive the newsletter, an e-mail address is required. The e-mail address will only be used if the user has expressly consented to this in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. This e-mail address is verified to make sure that the user is also the owner/authorised user of the e-mail address. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter and will not be passed on to third parties. No other data is collected.

The IP address and the date of registration are stored when registering to receive the newsletter. Storage serves exclusively as a protective measure in the event that a third party has misused the address and registered for the newsletter without the knowledge of the owner or authorised person.

Storage takes place solely for the purpose of confirming registration as part of the “double opt-in” procedure. Once the e-mail address has been confirmed, it is stored permanently by MailChimp. It will be stored until the e-mail address is deleted by the user (owner of the e-mail address) or by the operator of this website. The date of registration and the IP address of the user are also stored. This storage serves the purpose of providing evidence in the event of accusation of unsolicited sending of e-mails.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”), Google Analytics-component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”. These are text files that are stored on the computer of the user and allow the use of the website by the user to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about the use of this website (including the IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. Your IP address will continue to be processed in anonymised form using the _anonymizeIp() method if this website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or another contracting state of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. A reference to a person can therefore be ruled out. If the collected user data is personally identifiable, it is immediately barred. The personal data is deleted immediately.

Google uses the information to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities for the website operators and to provide additional services related to the use of the website and the Internet. Google may also transmit this information to third parties where legally required to do so, or where such third parties process the information on the behalf of Google. Google does not associate the IP address of the user with any other data held by Google.

Users may prevent the use of cookies by making appropriate settings in their browser; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. By using this website, the user consents to the processing of data collected about him or her by Google in the manner and for the purposes described above.

Users can prevent the collection and transmission of their usage-related data (including their IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de . Users can also prevent future collection by Google Analytics by clicking on “Deactivate Google Analytics”.

3. Marketing

Google Adwords

This website uses Google Adwords for the placement of online advertising. Cookies are used both by Google and by third-party providers (for instance, double-click cookies), sometimes also in combination. This enables the placement of optimised ads on Google and third-party websites based on the previous visits of the user to this website.

This website uses the following Google AdWords functions:

• Remarketing
• Interest categories
• Similar target groups
• Conversion tracking
• Other types of interest-based advertising

The information of the user (including the IP address) generated by the cookies is transmitted to a Google server in the US and stored there. Google truncates the last 3 digits of the IP address, which prevents the IP address from being assigned. Google has joined the “Safe Harbour Agreement” and complies with its data protection provisions. Data is only transmitted to third parties by Google when this is required due to legal regulations or in the context of order data processing. Under no circumstances does Google combine user data with other data collected by Google.

This website also uses so-called “retargeting tags”. These are JavaScript elements inserted in the source code of this website. When you visit a page on this website that contains a “retargeting tag”, a cookie is placed on the computer of the user by an online advertising provider (for instance, Google) and assigned to a retargeting target group list. The placement of the cookie allows interest-based advertising to be displayed on other websites visited by the user.

Users of this website can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future. Deactivating cookies is possible using the following links

This website uses conversion tracking as part of “Google AdWords”. This is an analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).

When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is stored on the computer of the user. These cookies are valid for 30 days and do not contain any personal data. This means personal identification is not possible. If you visit this website before the cookie expires, both Google and we can see that the user has clicked on a specific ad and has been redirected to this page. Cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers, as each AdWords customer receives a separate cookie.

The information can be used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers. This includes, for instance, information about the total number of users who have clicked on the ad. It is not possible to personally identify users. Participation in tracking can be prevented by forbidding the installation of cookies with appropriate browser settings.
