Cookies
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small pieces of data that are stored and read in your end-device. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored even after your visit has expired. Cookies may contain data that enables the recognition of the device being used. However, in some cases cookies only contain information on certain settings which are not personal data.

You have the possibility to delete your browser configuration at any time and prevent any use of new cookies. In the event you refuse the use of cookies, please note that our web sites may not be displayed optimally and some functions are then no longer technically available.
Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics to create pseudonymous user profiles for improving and designing our website on demand. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your end device and can be read by us. In this way, we are able to recognize and count returning visitors. This data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR or § 15 para. 3 TMG and in the interest of finding out how often our website is viewed by different users.
We create pseudonymised user profiles in order to design our website appropriately. You can refuse to permit this at any time:
1.) You can stop cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this, you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of this website.
2.) Depending on the browser you are using, you may be able to install a browser plug-in which prevents tracking. Please click here to install this.
3.) Another way to refuse a web analysis by Google Analytics is to set an opt-out cookie, which instructs Google not to use your data for the purposes of web analysis. Please note that with this solution, the web analysis will only be refused as long as the opt-out cookie is stored by the browser. If you would like to set the opt-out cookie, please click here.
Further information: This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google, Inc. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files saved on your computer, to enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is transmitted to a Google server in the United States, where it is stored. Given that we have activated IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google in a member state of the European Union or in another signatory country to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the United States and shortened there (an adequate level of data protection is ensured according to Art. 45 para. 1 GDPR because Google is a participant in the Privacy Shield Agreement). At our request, Google will use this information for the purposes of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing us with other services relating to website activity and Internet use. Google will not associate the IP address transferred by your browser for Google Analytics with any other data held by Google.
You can prevent data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected or processed by Google by using one of the three aforementioned options.
