Our website uses cookies in several places. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and are recognized when you visit our website again. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Some cookies also enable us to compile usage statistics and find out how you got to our website and how you use our website. We do not identify you personally based on this information.

 

Some cookies are used to determine and save preferences and are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing the browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies are used to adapt our website to user needs and remain on the end device, so-called permanent or persistent cookies.

 

Some of the cookies we use are required for the website to function properly (necessary cookies). Such cookies are used on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest lies in being able to provide you with the functions of the website.

The following list shows which marketing and analysis cookies we use with your consent (for Google Analytics, Alexa Metrics and YouTube see the following sections).

​

You can also prevent the use of all cookies by making the appropriate settings in your browser. In this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website without restrictions.

 

7.Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google Ireland"). Google Analytics also uses cookies, which can be stored on your computer for a period of up to two years and enable an analysis of your use of our website.

 

The information generated by cookies about your use of our website (including your IP address) is usually sent to a server of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, California, USA ("Google") in the USA and stored there for stored for a period of 14 months.

 

The code "anonymizeIp" was added to Google Analytics on our website, so that your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (so-called IP masking). Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

 

On our behalf, Google Ireland will use the information collected to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage.

 

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

 

For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transmitted to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

8.Google Tag Manager

The “Google Tag Manager” service is used on our website. This is a service provided by Google Inc. The company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for the European area. The parent company is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (website: https://marketingplatform.google.com ; privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy ).

​

Google Tag Manager is an organizational tool with which we can manage so-called website tags via an interface and thus integrate other services into our online offer. Tags are small sections of code that, for example, record (track) your activity on our website. For this purpose, JavaScript code sections are used in the source code of our site. The tags usually come from internal Google products such as Google Ads or Google Analytics, but can also be integrated and managed by tags from other companies.

The Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not save any cookies and does not process any personal data. It acts as a mere "manager" of the implemented tags. The data is passed through to the individual tracking tools in the Google Tag Manager and not saved. Google only learns the IP address of the user, which is necessary to run the Google Tag Manager. You can find more information about the tag manager here: https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/de/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/

​

In order to make our website as good as possible for you and all users who are interested in our products and services, we rely on the Tag Manager. In order for this tracking to work, we have to embed the appropriate JavaScript code in our website.


The use of the Google Tag Manager requires your consent, which we have obtained with our cookie popup. According to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. A GDPR (consent), this consent represents the legal basis for the processing of data, as it may occur when it is collected by web analytics tools. In addition to the consent, there is a legitimate interest on our part to analyze the behavior of website visitors. With the help of the Google Tag Manager we can improve our profitability. The legal basis for this is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter F GDPR (legitimate interest).
If you want to learn more about the Google Tag Manager, we recommend the FAQs at https://support.google.com/tagmanager/?hl=de#topic=3441530 .

 

8.  YouTube videos

On our website you can watch videos from the third-party platform YouTube (a company of Google LLC based in San Bruno/California, USA), which are embedded on our website using a "frame".

 

As soon as you visit a website of our offer on which such a YouTube video is integrated, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. Information is transmitted to YouTube, e.g. your IP address or which page of our online offer you are currently visiting. This data transfer takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest lies in being able to show YouTube videos on our website.

 

If you watch a video integrated in this way, YouTube may also store and further use this data. In this case, if you are logged in to your Google account at the same time, Google may be able to assign your surfing behavior to your YouTube user profile. You can prevent such data processing by logging out of your Google account before visiting our website.

 

The "extended data protection mode" for YouTube videos is activated on our websites. According to YouTube, no data on user activities is therefore collected in order to personalize video playback.

 

By integrating the YouTube video into our online presence, a connection to the Google DoubleClick network is also automatically established when our website is accessed. This means that no cookies are set on your end device. If DoubleClick cookies are already stored on your end device due to visiting other websites, these may also be transmitted as part of the request on our website.

 

YouTube or Google may also process your personal data in the USA and has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield for this case, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework .

 

Since this is a third-party service, we have no influence on the processing of the corresponding data by YouTube. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by YouTube or Google as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy can be found in the relevant information on data protection under  https://policies .google.com/privacy?hl=de&gl=de .

 

9.  Security in data transmission

All forms on this website that collect personal data have been encrypted using the TSL 1.2 protocol.

 

Nevertheless, the protection of the data transmitted during data communication in open networks such as the Internet cannot be comprehensively guaranteed given the current state of the art and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties. Therefore, do not send us any confidential data via the Internet (e.g. via contact form or e-mail) without adequate protection.

 

10. Processing of data outside of Germany

Subject to the further information listed in this data protection notice, your personal data collected via our website and stored on our computer systems will not be processed outside the EU/EEA.

 

We store data collected by us exclusively on servers in Germany.

 

11. Duration of storage of your personal data

If no storage period is specified in this data protection declaration, we only store your personal data for as long as it is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was collected or as long as longer storage is required or permitted by law. This means that the data - subject to the described special features for cookies and tracking - are usually deleted after the contract has been completed and the retention periods under tax and commercial law have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of the data.

 

12. Your Rights

  6. Right to revoke consent: If our data processing is based on consent (according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR), you can revoke your consent at any time. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation.
