So-called cookies are used on some of the web pages. Cookies do not damage your computer and they contain no viruses. Cookies are for making our platform more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files deposited on your computer which your browser saves.

Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this Website.

Cookies, which are necessary for the execution of the electronic communication procedure or for the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping cart function), are saved on the basis of Art. 6 Section 1 f) of the GDPR.

If other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behaviour) are saved, they are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

The provider of the pages collects and automatically saves information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. That is:
Browser type and browser version

This data is not combined with other data sources. The basis for the processing of data is Article 6, Section 1 f) of the GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Inquiries which we receive from you on the contact form will be saved together with the contact data you have indicated in order for us to process the inquiry and be in a position to respond to any subsequent questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form thus takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6 Section 1 a) of the GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. It is sufficient to send us an informal note by e-mail for this. The legality of the data processing procedures that take place until revocation is not affected by the revocation.

We retain the data that you enter in the contact form until such time as you request us to delete the data or revoke your consent to its storage, or until the purpose of the data storage no longer exists (e.g. after completion of the processing of your enquiry). Mandatory legal requirements – in particular archiving periods – are not affected.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information 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.

Demographic characteristics with Google Analytics

This website uses the « demographic characteristics » function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person.

Google Analytics Remarketing

Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one end device (e.g. cell phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC). If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history with your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every end device on which you log in with your Google account. To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated IDs of users that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad targeting. You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/. The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). In the case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of the data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes. Further information and the privacy policy can be found in Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (« Google »).

Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings.
