This privacy policy informs you about what personal data we collect from you, for what purpose, and how we store and use it.
We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. The cookie stores information that is related to the specific device used. However, this does not mean that we immediately become aware of your identity. The use of cookies serves to make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. On the one hand, we use so-called session cookies to recognise that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site. In addition, other cookies are used that remain on your device and enable us to recognise your browser the next time you visit (so-called persistent cookies). The data processed by cookies is necessary for the purposes mentioned above in order to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or so that a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely deactivating cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (‘Google’), on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online offering within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online service by users is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online offering and the Internet.
Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data. The IP address transmitted by the user's browser is not merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software settings accordingly; users can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the online service, as well as Google from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: > Link
For further information on data usage by Google, settings and options for objection, please refer to Google's privacy policy ( > Link ) as well as in the settings for the display of advertisements by Google ( > Link). Users' personal data will be deleted or anonymised after 14 months. (The text passage on Google Analytics was created using Datenschutz-Generator.de by solicitor Dr Thomas Schwenke).
