Cookie Details

We have integrated various tools from different companies with our website which allow us to analyze user behavior or establish links with other websites. For this purpose we work with the following service providers:

Google Analytics

Google Analytics is a website analysis service. Website analysis refers to the collection, recording and analysis of data regarding the behavior of visitors to the website. A website analysis service records e.g. data showing from which website a data subject has come to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and how long a subpage was viewed. Website analysis is used mainly for the optimization of a website and for a cost-benefit analysis of Internet adverting. Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA, is the operator of the Google Analytics component.

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information about your use of our website generated by the Google Analytics cookie is normally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google might disclose these personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

However, when you by activate IP anonymization on our website, Google shortens your IP address within the Member States of the European Union or in other countries that are parties to the European Marketing Area Treaty. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google uses this information to analyze your use of the website in order to compile a report about your website activities and provide us with other services associated with your website and Internet use. The IP address of your browser transmitted by Google Analytics is not linked to any other Google data.

This website also uses the UserID functions of Analytics in order to be able to track interaction data. This User ID is also anonymized and encrypted and is not linked to other data.

You may prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly, but you might then not be able to fully use all functions of our website.

You may furthermore prevent the disclosure of the data generated by the cookie which refer to the use of the website (incl. your IP address) to Google as well as the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

This browser add-on notifies Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information about website visitors may be transmitted to Google Analytics.

Besides, a cookie left behind by Google Analytics may be erased at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs. Additional information and the applicable privacy policy of Google may be downloaded from https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de and from https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ .

Google Analytics is explained in more detail under this link: https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/.

Google Tag Manager

This website uses Google Tag Manager. This service allows you to administer so-called website tags centrally via an interface. Google Tag Manager implements only tags. No cookies are used and no personal data are collected. Google has a suitable privacy policy for such data collection by third party providers: https://marketingplatform.google.com/intl/de/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/. However Google Tag Manager does not access these data. If certain domains/websites or cookies were deactivated, it remains in place for all tracking tags provided that they are implemented using Google Tag Manager.

Twitter

We use components of the service provider Twitter on our website. Twitter is a service offered by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Whenever you access our website featuring this component, this component causes your browser to download the respective version of Twitter's component. This process also informs Twitter which page of our website is currently visited. We have no control over the data collected by Twitter in this process or over the range of the data collected by Twitter. As far as we know, Twitter records the URL of the respectively accessed website as well as the IP address of the user, but this information is not used for other purposes than for loading the respective version of the Twitter component. Additional information about this issue can be found in Twitter's privacy policy under https://twitter.com/de/privacy. You may change your privacy settings in account settings under https://twitter.com/account/settings.

We use the services of Pinterest, Inc., 808 Brannan St, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. on our website. The embedded "Pin it" button on the website informs Pinterest that you accessed the respective page of our website. If you are logged in with Pinterest, Pinterest is able to attribute this visit of our website to your Pinterest account and thus link the data.
