We statistically evaluate anonymous information of this type in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.
Cookies
Like many other websites, we also use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are transferred to your hard drive by a website server.

Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.
Of course, you can generally view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to learn how to change these settings.

Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and which enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. 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 to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install: Browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics .
In addition to or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking on this link . An opt-out cookie is installed on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and this browser in the future as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.
Use of Adobe Analytics (Omniture)
This website uses Adobe Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited (“Adobe”). Adobe Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. If a tracking data set is transmitted to the Adobe Datacenter by a website visitor's browser, the server settings we make ensure that the IP address is anonymized before geolocation, i.e. that the last octet of the IP address is replaced by zeros. Before the tracking package is saved, the IP address is replaced by individual generic IP addresses. On behalf of the operator of this website, Adobe will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by users, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Adobe Analytics is not merged with other Adobe data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. However, this offer informs users that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. Users can also prevent Adobe from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to their use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Adobe by using the browser plug available under the following link -Download and install.

Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts)
In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website such as: B. Google Webfonts ( https://www.google.com/webfonts/ ). Google web fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.
Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible - although it is currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes - that operators of corresponding libraries collect data.
The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
Use of Google Maps
This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographical information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about visitors' use of the map functions. Further information about data processing by Google can be found in the Google data protection information . There you can also change your personal data protection settings in the data protection center.
Detailed instructions on managing your own data in connection with Google products can be found here .
Embedded YouTube videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This tells YouTube which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
If a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.
Anyone who has deactivated the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program will not have to expect such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in the browser.
Further information on data protection at “Youtube” can be found in the provider’s data protection declaration at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
Social plugins
Social plugins from the providers listed below are used on our websites. You can recognize the plugins because they are marked with the corresponding logo.
These plugins may be used to send information, which may also include personal data, to the service operator and, if necessary, used by them. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider with a 2-click solution. In order to activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding switch. Only by activating the plugin will the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider be triggered. We do not collect any personal data ourselves through the social plugins or their use.
We have no influence on which data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. It must currently be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services will be developed and that at least the IP address and device-related information will be recorded and used. It is also possible that the service providers try to store cookies on the computer used. Please refer to the data protection information of the respective service provider to find out which specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: If you are logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a specific page.
We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:
Facebook Inc. (1601 S. California Ave - Palo Alto - CA 94304 - USA)

You also have the right to correct, block or, apart from the required data storage for business transactions, delete your personal data. Please contact our data protection officer.
