Use of cookies:

In addition to the aforementioned data, cookies are stored on your computer when you use our wesite. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by your browser. They serve to make the Internet offer more user-friendly, more effective and safer. Cookies are divided into the following groups:

Transient cookies (temporary use)
Persistent cookies (temporary use)
Third-Party cookies (from Third-Party Providers)

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. These include in particular session cookies. They store a so-called session ID, which can be used to assign various requests from your browser to the shared session. This enables your computer to be recognised when you return to our website.

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

Third party cookies are created by another website. They are used, for example, by advertisers who use cookies to collect user information through their advertisements on other sites. These are records that are stored in the user's browser when he visits a page with the advertisement. If the user visits a page with advertising from the same provider again, he will be recognized. One example of this is the Facebook Like buttons. When using this button, a cookie is set which can be read by Facebook. Such a cookie is referred to as a third-party cookie.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cook-ies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Flash Cookies/HTML5 storage objects

Flash cookies are not captured by your browser, but by your Flash plug-in. We also use HTML5 storage objects, which are stored on your device. These objects store the required data regardless of the browser you are using and do not have an automatic expiration date. If you do not wish the Flash cookies to be processed, you must install a corresponding add-on, e.g. Better Privacy for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Adobe Flash Killer cookie for Google Chrome.
You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by using the private mode in your browser. We also recommend that you regularly delete your cookies and browser history manually.

SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of content, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Contact form

If you use the contact form, the data you enter there will be stored by us to process your enquiry. The data necessary for the processing of your inquiry are marked separately, all other data are voluntary.

The legal basis for this processing is your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).

You can revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal e-mail notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data entered by you in the contact form will be stored until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after the processing of your request has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods, remain unaffected.

This website uses the web analytics tool "Google Analytics", a service provided by Google Ireland Limited. The purpose of this use is to "tailor" this website to meet your needs by weighing up your interests.

So-called "client IDs" are used, which serve to create pseudonymous user profiles that jointly record the use of the Internet pages by desktop computers and mobile end devices by a user.

However, since we have activated IP anonymization on this website and have concluded a corresponding contract with Google, your IP address will be shortened by Google in advance within member states of the European Union or in other con-tracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
