Cookies: We place cookies on our site. These are small files created automatically by your browser and stored on your terminal device (laptop, tablet, smart phone etc.), when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your terminal device; they do not contain any viruses, Trojan horses or any other malware. The cookie contains information deriving in each case in relation to the specific terminal device used. However, this does not mean that we thereby immediately gain knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies, on the one hand, serves to improve our website for you. To this end, we use so-called session cookies, in order to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These will be deleted automatically, after you leave our site. Apart from that, we use temporary cookies, again to optimize user-friendliness. These cookies will be stored on your terminal device for a specific pre-determined period of time. If you re-visit our site, in order to use our services, it will automatically recognize that you have visited us before and which input and settings you have made, so that you do not need to re-enter the same information again. On the other hand, we use cookies, in order to collect statistical data on the use of our website and to assess such use for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These cookies enable us to recognize you, when you re-visit our site. These cookies will be deleted after the relevant period of time defined. The data processed by means of cookies are necessary to protect the legitimate interests pursued by us and by third parties according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You may, however, configure your browser, so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a notification appears, before a new cookie is placed. However, if you fully deactivate cookies, you may not be able to use all functions of our website.

Google Analytics: For the purpose of appropriately designing and continuously optimising our sites we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States of America; hereinafter referred to as “Google”), as a tracking tool. By using tracking measures according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, we intend to ensure an appropriate design and continuous optimisation of our website. On the other hand, we use tracking measures, in order to collect statistical data on the use of our website and to assess such use for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These interests are to be deemed as legitimate within the meaning of the afore-mentioned provision. In this context, pseudonymised user profiles are created and cookies are used (see above). The information created through the cookie regarding your use of this website, such as

browser type / version,
used operating system,
referrer URL (the page previously visited),
host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
time of the server request,

is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. The information is used to assess the website’s use, to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to the website’s use and the use of the internet for purposes of market research and for appropriately designing these internet pages. Besides, this information may, if appropriate, be transmitted to third parties, if this is required by law or such data is processed by third parties on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be combined with other data from Google. IP addresses will be anonymised, so that no attribution will be possible (IP masking). You may prevent the installation of cookies by choosing the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please be advised that in this case you may not be able to fully use all of the functions of this website. Apart from that, you may prevent the collection of data, which is created by the cookie and is related to your use of the website, (including your IP address) as well as the processing of such data by Google, by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). Instead of the browser add-on, you may, particularly in case of browsers on mobile terminal devices, additionally prevent the collection through Google Analytics, by clicking here to disable Google Analytics. This installs an opt-out cookie, which prevents future collection of your data, when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie only works on this browser and only for our website and it is not stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must re-set the opt-out cookie. For further information on data protection regarding Google Analytics please refer, for example, to Google Analytics Help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).

You may recognize whether a specific page on our website is transmitted in encrypted form, if you see a locked key or, as the case may be, a lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser. Apart from that, we have appropriate technical and organisational security measures in place to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures will be continuously improved according to technological development.
