1. Cookies, tracking technologies and analysis tools

4.1 We collect information about your use of the website through the use of so-called browser cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your data carrier and store certain settings and data for exchange with our system via your browser. A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie data was sent, as well as information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier. Cookies enable our systems to recognise the user’s device and make any default settings immediately available. As soon as a user accesses the platform, a cookie is transmitted to the hard drive of the user’s computer. Cookies help us to improve our website and offer you a better, more personalised service. They enable us to recognise your computer when you return to our website and thus:

• • store information about your preferred activities on the website and thus tailor our website to your individual interests. This includes, for example, advertising that corresponds to your personal interests.
  • speed up the processing of your enquiries.

The cookies we use only store the data explained above about your use of the website. This is not done by assigning it to you personally, but by assigning an identification number to the cookie (“cookie ID”). The cookie ID is not merged with your name, IP address or similar data that would enable the cookie to be assigned to you.

The website uses so-called tracking technologies. We use these technologies to make the Internet offering more interesting for you. This technology enables us to target Internet users who have already shown interest in our website with advertising on our partners’ websites. These advertisements are displayed on our partners’ websites based on cookie technology and an analysis of previous usage behaviour. We only use this technology if you have consented to it, if its use is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract with you, or if other legal provisions permit it.

We work with business partners who help us make our internet offering and website more interesting for you. When you visit the website, cookies from these partner companies are also stored on your hard drive. These are cookies that are automatically deleted after a specified period. The cookies from our partner companies also only collect data under a cookie ID, which enables our advertising partners to target you with advertising that may be of interest to you. The parties that use cookies on this website are listed below. Where possible, you can choose whether you want to allow certain cookies on this website.

Specifically, the following cookie-based tools are used on this website:

Any processing of personal data that is not necessary requires your consent. This includes, in particular, cookies for analysis, tracking or advertising purposes. Such data will only be processed with your express consent. This also applies in the case of the transfer of personal data to business partners or third parties, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

4.2 Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web tracking service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). The purpose of our use of this tool is to enable the analysis of your user interactions on websites and in apps and to improve our offering and make it more interesting for you as a user through the statistics and reports obtained.

We primarily collect information about the interactions between you as a user of the website and our website using cookies, device/browser data, IP addresses and website or app activity. Google Analytics also collects your anonymised IP addresses to ensure the security of the service and to provide information about the region of the respective user (so-called “IP location determination”). With the anonymisation function (“IP masking”), Google truncates the IP addresses within the EU/EEA by the last octet.

Google acts as a processor and we have entered a corresponding contract with Google. The information obtained about your use of this website and the anonymised IP addresses are usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and processed there. In these cases, Google has submitted to the EU-U.S. Privacy Framework.

The legal basis for the processing of the information is your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing until withdrawal. The easiest way to withdraw your consent is to use our Consent Manager or to install the Google browser add-on, which is available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de/.

For more information on the scope of Google Analytics, please visit https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/. Google provides information on data processing when using Google Analytics at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de/. General information on data processing, which according to Google also applies to Google Analytics, can be found in Google’s privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

4.3 Use of Google Ads

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertisements. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google Ads will store a cookie on your device. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR, i.e. integration only takes place with your consent.

The advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers.” For this purpose, we and other websites use so-called ad server cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. The Google Ads cookies stored on our website enable us to obtain information about the success of our advertising campaigns. These cookies are not intended to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), and opt-out information (indicating that a user no longer wishes to be targeted) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.

The cookies set by Google enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of an Ads customer’s website and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and been redirected to that page. Each Ads customer is assigned a different cookie, so that cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of other Ads customers. By integrating Google Ads, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. 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, it is possible that the provider may find out and store your IP address.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server. We ourselves do not collect any personal data independently in the advertising measures mentioned, but only provide Google with the opportunity to collect the data. We only receive statistical evaluations from Google that provide information about which ads were clicked on, how often, and at what prices. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising media; in particular, we cannot identify users based on this information.

You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of the processing until revocation. The easiest way to revoke your consent is via our Consent Manager CookieBot or via the following functions: a) by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; in particular, suppressing third-party cookies means that you will not receive any third-party ads; b) by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating interest-based ads from providers who are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign via the link https://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies; d) by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer, or Google Chrome browsers at the link https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

1. Integration of Google Maps

We use Google Maps on this website. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to conveniently use the map function. The legal basis for the use of the maps is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, i.e. integration only takes place with your consent.

When you visit the website, Google receives information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the basic data mentioned above, such as your IP address and time stamp, is transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account that you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google processes your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and uses it for market research, demand-oriented advertising, website design and/or to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.

The information collected is processed on Google servers, including in the USA. In such cases, the provider has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Framework.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the provider’s privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

We use the technical platform and services of the providers for these information services. We would like to point out that you use our social media platforms and their functions at your own responsibility. This applies in particular to the use of interactive functions (e.g. commenting, sharing, rating). When you visit our pages, the providers of the social media platforms collect, among other things, your IP address and other information stored on your device in the form of cookies. This information is used to provide us, as the operators of the accounts, with statistical information about the interaction with us.

The data processed in this context is processed by the platforms and may be transferred to countries outside the European Union, in particular the USA. The information collected is stored on the providers’ servers, including outside Europe. In such cases, the provider has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Framework. If the provider is not certified, we have agreed on so-called standard data protection clauses, the purpose of which is to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the third country. We do not know how social media platforms use the data from your visit to our account and interaction with our posts for their own purposes, how long this data is stored, or whether data is passed on to third parties. Data processing may differ depending on whether you are registered and logged in to the social network or visit the site as an unregistered and/or unlogged-in user. When you access a post or the account, the IP address assigned to your device is transmitted to the social media platform provider. If you are currently logged in as a user, a cookie on your device can be used to track how you have moved around the network. Buttons embedded in websites enable the platforms to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your respective profile. This data can be used to tailor content or advertising to you. If you wish to avoid this, you should log out or deactivate the “stay logged in” function, delete the cookies on your device and restart your browser.

As the provider of the information service, we only process the data from your use of our service that you provide to us and that requires interaction. For example, if you ask a question that we can only answer by email, we will store your information in accordance with the general principles of our data processing, which we describe in this privacy policy. The legal basis for the processing of your data on the social media platform is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

To exercise your rights as a data subject, you can contact either us or the provider of the social media platform. If one party is not responsible for responding or needs to obtain the information from the other party, we or the provider will forward your request to the respective partner. If you have any questions about profile creation or the processing of your data when using the website, please contact the operator of the social media platform directly. If you have any questions about the processing of your interaction with us on our site, please write to us using the contact details provided above.

The providers describe what information the social media platform receives and how it is used in their privacy policies. There you will also find information about contact options and settings for advertisements.

1. Transfer of data

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

• you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
• the transfer is necessary pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data,
• in the event that there is a legal obligation for disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR, and
• this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
