When you visit our website, our web servers store the IP address of your Internet service provider, the website you visit us from, the websites you visit with us, and the date and duration of your visit. This information is absolutely necessary for the technical transmission of the web pages and secure server operation. A personalized evaluation of this data is not carried out.

Error logs are generated for the purpose of identifying and fixing bugs. When an error message occurs, general data such as the domain name of the website, the web browser and web-browser version, the operating system, the IP address, as well as the timestamp upon occurrence of the respective error message and/or specification is collected. This information is absolutely necessary to ensure that we can react as quickly as possible to potential problems with displaying and implementing content (legitimate interest). A personalized evaluation of this data is not carried out.

When you visit our website, we may store information on your computer in the form of cookies. Cookies are small files that are transferred from an Internet server to your browser and stored on its hard drive. The legal basis for the use of cookies is art. 6, par. 1 lit. f GDPR. Only the IP address will be stored – no other personal data. This information stored in the cookies allows us to automatically recognize when you visit our website again, facilitating the use.

You can of course also visit our website without accepting cookies. If you do not want your computer to be recognized on your next visit, you can also refuse the use of cookies by changing the settings in your browser to “refuse cookies”. The respective procedure is described in the operating instructions of your browser. If you refuse the use of cookies, however, there may be restrictions in the use of certain areas of our website.

In order to provide and continuously improve our services, we are using the services of the following third-party providers. These third-party providers may also process personal data. They have been selected diligently and in line with the requirements of the GDPR.

This website uses the online advertising program “Google Ads” and within Google Ads, the conversion tracking, a service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

Google Ads is used to draw attention to attractive offers of this website with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google AdWords) on external websites. It can be determined in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns how successful the individual advertising measures are. Thus, this website has an interest in showing you advertisements of interest to you, making the site more interesting to you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google-served Ads ad. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer system. These cookies usually lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and this website may recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can not therefore be tracked through the websites of Ads customers. The information gathered using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can block this usage by disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie through its Internet browser under User Preferences. You will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. This website uses Google Ads based on the legitimate interest in a targeted advertising according to art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We use Google Analytics on our website with “anonymizeIp”. In this case, Google will already reduce your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thereby make it anonymous.

This website uses this service based on art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Google also offers a deactivation add-on for the most popular browsers, giving you more control over the information Google collects about the websites you visit. The add-on informs Google Analytics’ JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit is to be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, the deactivation add-on for browsers from Google Analytics does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use. For more information on installing the browser add-on, click on the link below: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

If you visit our website via a mobile device (smartphone or tablet), you can disable this tracking by using the privacy settings. These can be opened by clicking the blue chip “Privacy Settings” on the right side of the website.

If you agree that Google may link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account and use information from your Google Account to personalize ads, Google will use your information along with Google Analytics data to create cross-device targeting lists for remarketing. To do this, Google Analytics first collects your authenticated Google ID on our site, which is associated with your Google Account (personally identifiable information). Google Analytics will then temporarily link your ID to your Google Analytics data in order to optimize our target groups.

If you don’t agree, you can turn this off by selecting the corresponding setting in the “My account” section of your Google Account.

You have the right to request information on whether your personal data will be transmitted to a third country or an international organisation. In this context, you can then request for the appropriate guarantees (art. 46 GDPR) in connection with the transfer.

You have the right (art. 16 GDPR) to have incorrect personal data stored by us corrected. You also have the right to have an incomplete data set stored with us supplemented by us.

This does not apply if the decision

1. is required for the conclusion or execution of a contract between you and us,
2. is permitted by the Union or Member State legislation to which we are subject, and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
3. with your expressed consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data under art. 9, par. 1 GDPR, unless art. 9, par. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and reasonable measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

You have the right (art. 77 GDPR) to complain to the supervisory authority, if you believe that your personal data is not processed according to GDPR by us.
