Information about the website

What are cookies?

Our website uses so-called cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device when you use your browser. They are harmless. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognise your browser on your next visit. If you do not want this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you whenever cookies are used, and you can allow or reject them on a case-by-case basis. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Data protection and session cookies (anonymous)

While using our website, so-called session cookies are stored on your browser. These are deleted again the moment you shut your browser. You can prevent the storage of cookies by changing your browser settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that this will disable some of the features on this website.

Data protection and permanent cookies (anonymous)

This website uses permanent anonymised cookies with a long-term validity. These serve to recognise you as a user whenever you access our website / to permanently save your choices regarding your consent to the use of cookies for this website (both session and permanent cookies). The information stored in this cookie does not contain any personal data.

Incorporation of social networks (social media plug-ins)

In various places on our website, we have enabled social network connectivity via social media plugins. The default setting is for plug-ins to be deactivated, and they will not transmit any data to social media services without your express permission. Only when you activate a plug-in by clicking on the corresponding icon, personal data will be transmitted to the selected service (“2-click solution”). The selected service then receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click on the plug-in while logged on to a social media service, you can share the content of our pages on your profile. This allows the service to associate your visit to our website with your user account. Please be aware that we, as a page provider, do not know which content is transmitted or how it is used by your social media service. By activating and using a social media plug-in, you consent to the transfer of personal data to the selected service. Should you wish to get more detailed information on how the respective social media service uses your personal data, please refer to the data protection policy of that service:

Data processing on behalf

of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. Google Analytics uses cookies to provide this service. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and allow Google Analytics to recognise the device you are using. This enables an analysis of how our website is used, which helps us improve it. We cannot draw any conclusions about you personally from this analysis.

The generated information (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server. To protect your privacy, Google Analytics has been configured to ensure that your IP address is anonymised immediately after being transferred to Google. This happens within all member states of the European Union and all other contracting member states of the European Economic Area: all data transmitted to Google is only stored in an anonymised format (anonymizeIp = true).

In rare cases, the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the US and only shortened then.

Google uses this information on our behalf to assess how our website is used and to compile reports on website activity. The IP addresses passed on to Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

By using this website, you agree to the above-mentioned storage of cookies and to the processing of your personal data. You can disable the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings. If you do this, not all functions of our website will remain accessible to you. For more information on how user data is handled by Google Analytics, please see Google's data protection policy: https://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html

You can also prevent Google Analytics from harvesting your data by downloading and installing a browser plug-in available at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie will be installed to prevent all future data collection when you visit our website: deactivate Google Analytics

Spam or malware is eliminated purely automatically; suspicious emails may be examined more closely by a responsible person, possibly in consultation with the recipient.
