4. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automa­ti­cally creates and that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smart­phone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

Infor­mation is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.
On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automa­ti­cally deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friend­liness, which are stored on your end device for a specified period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automa­ti­cally recognized that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statis­ti­cally record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you (see section 5). These cookies enable us to automa­ti­cally recognize that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. These cookies are automa­ti­cally deleted after a defined period of time.
The data processed by cookies is required for the purposes mentioned to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

Most browsers accept cookies automa­ti­cally. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely deacti­vating cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website.

5. analysis tools

Tracking-Tools
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. With the tracking measures used, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the conti­nuous optimization of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statis­ti­cally record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the afore­men­tioned provision.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corre­sponding tracking tools.

a) Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (1600 Amphi­theatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; herein­after referred to as "Google") for the purpose of designing and conti­nuously optimizing our pages to meet your needs. In this context, pseud­ony­mized user profiles are created and cookies (see section 4) are used. The infor­mation generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

Browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of the server request are trans­mitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The infor­mation is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. This infor­mation may also be trans­ferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circum­s­tances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anony­mized so that they cannot be assigned (IP masking).

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appro­priate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full function­ality of this website.
You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on.
As an alter­native to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

Further infor­mation on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found in the Google Analytics Help.

b) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking
We also use Google Conversion Tracking to statis­ti­cally record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you. Google Adwords places a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad.

These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identi­fi­cation. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. The infor­mation collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers find out 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 the tracking process, you can also reject the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, by using a browser setting that generally deacti­vates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com". You can find Google's privacy policy on conversion tracking here.
