These cookies remain on your terminal device and enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies), so that, for example, default settings are retained. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which differs depending on the cookie.

Use of cookies to record user behavior (tracking)

The use of tracking cookies enables us to recognize users when they access our website again and thus to assign usage processes to an internally assigned identification number (pseudonym). This enables us to record repeated accesses to our website and analyze them in a coherent manner.

Specifically, we use the following tracking cookie:

Tracking by Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. 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 this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of 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 our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de . You can then prevent the collection by Google Analytics across devices by setting an opt-out cookie. Opt-out cookies prevent the future collection of your data when visiting this website. You must perform the opt-out on all systems and devices used for this to be fully effective. If you click here the opt-out cookie will be set: Google Analytics opt-out

We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. Through the statistics obtained, we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, we would like to point out that, from the point of view of the European Court of Justice, the USA has an inadequate level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for surveillance purposes without any legal recourse. You can revoke your consent at any time by limiting your cookie settings for Statistics -> Google Analytics.

The legal basis for the storage of the cookie by Google is the consent given (Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 a) GDPR).

Please note that data processing by Google may take place outside the European Union and in the USA. From the perspective of the European Court of Justice, the USA has an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by U.S. authorities for surveillance purposes without any legal recourse. We also have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our knowledge:

Through the integration of ”tracking tools” Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding web page of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider learns your IP address and stores it. Further information on data protection at Google can be found here: http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html

You can refuse the setting of a cookie. This can be done, for example, via browser settings that generally disable the automatic setting of cookies. Alternatively, you can deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" are blocked. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website by Google by installing a browser plug-in: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. If you do not wish to receive interest-based advertising, you can disable the use of cookies by Google for these purposes by visiting the page https://www.google.de/settings/ads/.
