We also use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are assigned to your browser and stored on your end device.

This helps us to make our online offering more user-friendly and effective overall. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a and f GDPR. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your end device.

Our website uses the following types of cookies:

Session cookies store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to a common session. This allows your device to be recognized when you return to our website. For example, certain entries you make (such as log-in information, language settings) are saved so that you do not have to keep repeating them. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you log out or close the browser.

Long-term cookies remain on your end device for the time being so that we can recognize your browser on your next visit and, for example, assign which entries and settings you prefer. Long-term cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie.

When you visit our online services, third-party cookies from our partner companies are also stored on your end device. The cookies contain information about the use of our online services, e.g. which websites and products were visited. The data is collected in pseudonymized form by assigning an identification number, which is not merged with any other personal data you may have provided to us.

You can delete cookies in your browser settings at any time or prevent their storage, whereby the latter may result in our offer only functioning to a limited extent for you. Which technologies comparable to cookies are used by us and how you can object to the use of cookies and other technologies by the individual third-party providers is explained in the relevant sections of this privacy policy.

2.3 Processing of data for web analysis

Google Analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd ("Google"). Google uses cookies (see section 2.1 b), which enable us to analyze your use of our online offering. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on our website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within the member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

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 our website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link : https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout/.

An opt-out cookie is set to prevent future collection when you visit our website. Please note that if you delete all cookies on your end device, this opt-out cookie will also be deleted; if you therefore wish to continue to object in this case, you must set the cookie again using the button above. The opt-out cookie is set per top-level domain, per browser and per end device and prevents the collection only for this online offer.

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". This means that IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, thus excluding the possibility of personal references. If the data collected about you is personally identifiable, it is immediately excluded and the personal data is deleted immediately.

We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google LLC has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield(https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework). The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a and f GDPR.

2.4 Usage-based online advertising

Our online offering uses various conversion tracking and retargeting technologies provided by other service providers. We use these technologies to make our online offering more interesting for you. The information also helps us to target users who have already shown an interest in our products with customized advertising on the websites of our partner companies. We assume that the display of personalized, interest-based advertising is generally more interesting for the Internet user than advertising that has no such personal reference. At the same time, we want to avoid inappropriate and intrusive advertising.

You can find general information on advertising-related technologies from third-party providers and how you can deactivate them on the following websites, among others:

Use of Google AdWords conversion tracking

Google AdWords conversion tracking
We use the Google LLC ("Google") service, Google AdWords, to draw attention to our offers on external websites with the help of advertising material (so-called Google AdWords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the advertising campaign data. In this way, we want to show you advertising that is of interest to you, make our website more attractive to you and achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.

These advertising materials are delivered by Google via so-called "ad servers". For this purpose, we use ad server cookies, through which certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords will store a cookie on your end device. These cookies generally lose their validity after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. The unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed) are usually stored as analysis values for this cookie.

These cookies enable Google to recognize your internet browser. If a user visits certain pages of the website of an AdWords customer (in this case us) and the cookie stored on their computer has not yet expired, Google and the AdWords customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. A different cookie is assigned to each AdWords customer. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the aforementioned advertising measures. Google only provides us with statistical evaluations. Based on these evaluations, we can recognize which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data from the use of the advertising material; in particular, we cannot identify users on the basis of this information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an advertisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that Google will find out your IP address and store it.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a and f GDPR.

Information from the third-party provider: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Further information on data protection at Google can be found at http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and at https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html. Alternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI): http://www.networkadvertising.org. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield(https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework).

3. what rights do I have?

You have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to your personal data:

  • Right to information,

  • Right to receive a copy,

  • Right to rectification or erasure,

  • Right to completion,

  • Right to restriction of processing,

  • Right to object to the processing,

  • Right to data portability.

If you have given your consent to the processing of your data (within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR), you can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation is not affected.

Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR), you can object to the processing. This is the case if, in particular, the processing is not necessary for the performance of a contract with you, which we have explained in the description of the individual functions. When exercising such an objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and will either discontinue or adapt the data processing or show you our compelling reasons worthy of protection on the basis of which we will continue the processing.

However, you can of course object to the processing of your personal data for advertising or web analysis purposes at any time without giving reasons.

As described in the relevant sections, we sometimes use external service providers to process your data. These have been carefully selected and commissioned by us, are bound by our instructions and are regularly monitored.

The personal data processed by us is generally deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we as the controller are subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

In the case of competitions and other promotions, further processing operations may be required. In this case, you will be informed by us during the respective promotion.
