Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files consisting of a series of numbers and letters that are stored on the device you are using. Cookies are primarily used to exchange information between the device you are using and our website. This includes, among other things, the language settings on a website, the login status, or the location where a video was viewed.

When you visit our websites, two types of cookies are used:

  • Temporary cookies (session cookies): These store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the shared session. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after you close your browser. This allows our website to recognize your computer when you return to our website. These cookies store information such as language settings or login information. These cookies can also be used to document and store your surfing behavior. This data can be used for statistical, marketing, and personalization purposes.

In addition to the above classification, cookies can also be distinguished according to their purpose:

  • Necessary cookies: These are cookies that are strictly necessary for the operation of our website, to store logins or shopping carts for the duration of your session, or cookies that are set for security reasons.
  • Statistics, marketing, and personalization cookies: These are cookies that are used for analysis purposes or to measure reach. Such “tracking” cookies can store information about search terms entered or the frequency of page views. In addition, the surfing behavior of an individual user (e.g., viewing certain content, using functions, etc.) can also be stored in a user profile. Such profiles are used to display content to users that corresponds to their potential interests. If we use services that store cookies on your device for statistical, marketing, and personalization purposes, we will inform you separately in the following sections of our privacy policy or when obtaining your consent.

There you have the option of specifying whether you accept cookies from the outset, only accept them on request, or specify that cookies are deleted each time you close your browser.

Consent, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR
If we ask you before you visit our website for permission to place certain cookies on your device and you consent to this, the legal basis is to be found in the consent you have given.

Web analytics and statistics

We use web analytics services to record and statistically evaluate visitor traffic on our website. Among other things, these services collect data about which website you came to our website from (known as referrers), which pages of our website you accessed, how long you visited our pages, and what interactions you made there. In addition, data about the browser, computer system, and device type you are using is collected. Such a service can also be used to collect demographic information, such as age or gender, as pseudonymous values. If you have consented to the collection of your location data, this may also be processed, depending on the provider.

In order to collect and store this data, the web analysis service we use usually places a cookie on the device you are using, which also collects the IP address assigned to you. However, this is shortened using a so-called IP masking procedure, so that the IP address can no longer be assigned to your visit to our website. Furthermore, no clear data such as names or email addresses are stored. Neither we nor the service we use know the identity of visitors to our website.

When collecting data, however, the service provider can use cookies to create pseudonymous usage profiles with information from the use of various devices.

We would like to point out that, depending on the country of residence of the service provider listed below, the data collected via the service may be transferred and processed outside the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection required by the GDPR may not be complied with and that it may be difficult or impossible to enforce your rights.

Data concerned:

  • Usage data (e.g., access times, websites clicked on)
  • Communication data (e.g., information about the device used, IP address).

Data subjects: Users of our online services

Purpose of processing: Reach measurement, campaign performance monitoring, remarketing, and interest- and behavior-based marketing

Legal basis: If we have asked for your consent before using the respective service, this constitutes the legal basis, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Otherwise, we use the respective service on the basis of our legitimate interest in analyzing visitor traffic to our website in order to continuously improve its functions, offerings, and user experience, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

We use the following web analytics services:

Opt-out option: If you do not want your data to be used by Google Analytics, you can install an opt-out plugin, which will prevent your data from being collected on our website in the future. You can obtain this plugin here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

third-party plugins we use

We have embedded plugins in the form of “social media buttons” from the providers we use on our website. You can identify which plugin belongs to which provider by the respective logo with which the plugin is marked. When you visit a page on our website where such a plugin is implemented, a connection is automatically established between your browser and the provider's servers, and the provider sets a cookie on the device you are using. Data transfer can also take place if you do not have an account with the respective social network operator or if you have an account but are not logged in at the time of visiting our website. In addition, data is transferred to the provider as a result of further interactions with the respective social plugin (e.g., clicking the “Like” button on Facebook, the “Retweet” button on Twitter).
