The cookie is used to store information that is related to the specific device you are using. However, this does not mean that we will immediately know your identity.

These session cookies are automatically deleted when you leave our website.

We use temporary cookies that are stored on your terminal for a specified period of time in order to optimize user-friendliness. If you visit our site again in order to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already been with us and which inputs and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record and evaluate the use of our website and to optimise our services for you.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., for the purpose of tailoring our web pages to meet your needs and continually optimising them. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as "Google"). In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies (see also section 5) are set. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), host name of the accessing computer (IP address) and the time of the server request are transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website and Internet use for market research purposes and to tailor the design of these websites to meet customer requirements. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is § 15 para. 3 TMG in connection with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

This information may also be transferred to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google Analytics' behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other data held by Google. The IP addresses are anonymised so that an allocation is not possible (so-called IP masking).

The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

Further information on the terms of use and data protection of Google Analytics can be found at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html. respectively.

An opt-out cookie is set that prevents your data from being collected in the future when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics. The opt-out cookie applies only to this browser and only to our website and is placed on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

Google Adwords / Conversion Tracking

We also use the online advertising program "Google AdWords" as part of Google AdWords conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your device. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we may recognize that you clicked on the ad and were directed to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, there is no way that cookies can be tracked from AdWords customer websites. The information collected through the Conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for Conversion Tracking. This tells customers the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis for the use of Google Adwords/ Conversion Tracking is § 15 para. 3 TMG in conjunction with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies from the domain "googleadservices.com" by setting your browser software accordingly (deactivation option). They will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Further information and Google's data protection declaration can be found at: www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/, www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
