Access data (server log files)
- When you visit our website, we automatically collect and save access data that your browser automatically sends to us in so-called server log files. This is: Browser type and browser version of your PC Operating system used by your PC Referrer URL (source/reference from which you reached our website) Host name of the accessing computer Date and time of the server request The IP address currently used by your PC (possibly in anonymized form) As a rule, it is not possible for us to identify individuals and we do not intend to do so. Such data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR to protect our legitimate interest in improving the stability and functionality of our website.
Cookies
- In order to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device. Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer system. Cookies that are necessary to carry out electronic communication or to provide certain functions you have requested are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection declaration. Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Web analysis tools and advertising
- Google Analytics
Our website uses the web analysis service Google Analytics version 4. The provider is Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).
Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". These are text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of our website. In Google Analytics, all data is collected from devices located in the EU (based on the geographical location according to the IP address), via domains and servers in the EU before the traffic is forwarded to Analytics servers for processing.
The legal basis for the processing of your data is the consent you gave via the cookie consent tool in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR.
- IP anonymization
With Google Analytics, the IP anonymisation function is automatically activated on the website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the EU or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. 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 to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. According to Google, no IP addresses are logged and stored in Google Analytics, but only processed briefly for geo-localisation and then deleted immediately afterwards. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
- Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics
Our website uses the "demographic characteristics" function of Google Analytics. This enables reports to be created that contain information about the age, gender and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google as well as visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics - as described in the section "Objection to data collection".
- Google Signals
In connection with this website, the Google Signals service is also used as an extension of Google Analytics. With Google Signals, we can have Google create cross-device reports (so-called "cross device tracking"). If you have activated "personalized ads" in your Google account settings and have linked your internet-enabled devices to your Google account, Google can analyze usage behavior across devices if you give your consent to the use of Google Analytics in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR and create database models based on this. This takes into account the registrations and device types of all website users who were logged into a Google account and made a conversion. The data shows, among other things, on which device you clicked on an ad for the first time and on which device the conversion took place. We do not receive any personal data from Google, only statistics created on the basis of Google Signals. You have the option of deactivating the "personalized ads" function in the settings of your Google account and thus turning off cross-device analysis in connection with Google Signals. To do so, follow the instructions on this page: https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=de. Further information on Google Signals can be found at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7532985?hl=de.
- Order processing
We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
- Storage period
Data stored by Google at user and event level that is linked to cookies, user IDs (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick cookies, Android advertising ID) is deleted after 14 months. You can find details at the following link: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=de.
- Right of withdrawal
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of data at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR by calling up the cookie settings and changing your selection there. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. Storage of data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by a revocation.
- Google Tag Manager
Our website uses Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags via one interface. The tool that implements the tags is a cookie-less domain and does not store any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.
- Google Ads und Google Conversion-Tracking
Our website uses Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords). Google Ads is an online advertising program provided by Google.
Google Ads enables us to use advertising on external websites to draw attention to our offers and to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. This helps us to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
As part of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking. The advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called “ad servers”. For this we use so-called ad server cookies, through which certain parameters can be measured to measure success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. If you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. These cookies enable Google to recognize your web browser. If you visit certain pages of our website when the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the specific ad and were redirected to this page.
Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The following information is usually stored for the cookie as analysis values: Unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be contacted). The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Ads customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in your Internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The data collected is summarized in your Google account solely on the basis of your consent, which you can give or withdraw to Google (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that we have an interest in the anonymized analysis of visitors to our website for advertising purposes in order to optimize both our website and our advertising.
Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
- Google Remarketing
Our website uses the functions of Google Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick from the provider Google.
Google Remarketing analyses your user behaviour on our website in order to classify you into specific advertising target groups and then display suitable advertising messages when you visit other online offers (remarketing or retargeting).
The advertising target groups created with Google Remarketing can be linked to Google's cross-device functions so that interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device are also displayed on another of your devices. If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. This way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account.
To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create audiences for cross-device ad delivery.
You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; to do so, follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The summary of the data collected in your Google account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw to Google (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of the data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that we have an interest in the anonymized analysis of visitors to our website for advertising purposes.
Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de.
- Google AdSense
Our website uses Google AdSense, a service for integrating advertisements from the provider Google.
Google AdSense uses so-called "cookies", i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and are used to display advertisements on our website that match our content and your interests. Google AdSense also uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to statistically evaluate information about visitor traffic on our pages for online marketing purposes.
The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of our website (including your IP address) and the delivery of advertising formats is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google may transfer this information to third parties. However, Google will not combine your IP address with other data that Google may have stored about you.
If you have given your consent, the storage and processing of personal data will be based on this consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. We also have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both our website and our advertising in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The data collected is summarized in your Google account exclusively on the basis of your consent, which you can give or revoke to Google (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. By using this website, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
- Google Fonts
We use “Google Fonts” (formerly “Google Web Fonts”) on our website, a service provided by Google.
Google Fonts enables us to use external fonts, so-called Google Fonts. When you access our website, the required Google Font is loaded into the browser cache by your web browser. This is necessary so that your browser can display a visually improved representation of our texts. If your browser does not support this function, a standard font from your computer will be used for display.
The Google Fonts are integrated by calling a server, usually a Google server in the USA. This transmits to the server which of our websites you have visited. The IP address of the browser on your device is also stored by Google. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data that is collected and processed by Google through the use of Google Fonts.
We use Google Fonts for optimization purposes, in particular to improve the use of our website for you and to make its design more user-friendly. This is our legitimate interest in the processing of the above data by the third-party provider. The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f of GDPR.

- Right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling
According to Art. 22 GDPR, you have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that produces legal effects concerning you or significantly affects you in a similar way.
This does not apply if the decision
- is necessary for entering into or fulfilling a contract between you and us, is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and this law contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or is based on your explicit consent. Right to data portability
If the processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR and is carried out using automated procedures, you have the right, in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller or to request that it be transmitted to another controller, provided that this is technically feasible.
- Right to object
Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on this provision. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purposes of direct marketing (objection in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR).
In connection with the use of information society services, you have the option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC.
