If users leave comments / ratings on our website, the time of their creation and the previously optional user name selected by the website visitor are saved in addition to this information. This is for our security, as we can be prosecuted for illegal content on our website, even if it was created by users.

 

Cookies

 

Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred to your hard drive by a website server. This automatically gives us certain data such as B. used browser, operating system and your connection to the Internet.

Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

 

Use of Google Analytics

 

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (following: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator 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.

 

The purposes of data processing are to evaluate the use of the website and to compile reports on activities on the website. Based on the use of the website and the Internet, other related services are then to be provided. The processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.

 

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. 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 downloading the browser plug-in available under the following link and install: Browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics .

 

In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our website by clicking the corresponding link at the end of this data protection declaration. An opt-out cookie will be installed on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and for this browser in the future as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

 

Use of Matomo

 

This website uses Matomo (formerly Piwik), an open source software for the statistical analysis of visitor access. Matomo uses so-called cookies, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analyzed.

 

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is stored on a server in Germany.

 

The IP address is anonymized immediately after processing and before it is saved. You have the option of preventing the installation of cookies by changing the setting in your browser software. We would like to point out that with the appropriate setting, not all functions of this website may be available.

 

You can decide whether a unique web analysis cookie may be stored in your browser in order to enable the website operator to collect and analyze various statistical data.

 

In addition or as an alternative to this, you can prevent tracking by Matomo on our website by clicking on the corresponding link at the end of this data protection declaration. An opt-out cookie will be installed on your device. This will prevent future collection by Matomo for this website as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

 

Use of Google Maps

 

This website uses Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes and uses data about the use of the map functions by visitors. You can find more information about data processing by Google in the Google data protection information. There you can also change your personal data protection settings in the data protection center.

 

You can find detailed instructions on how to manage your own data in connection with Google products here.

 

Social plugins

 

We offer you the option of using so-called "social media buttons" on our website. To protect your data, we use the “Shariff” solution during implementation. As a result, these buttons are only integrated into the website as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic you will be forwarded to the services of the respective provider. Only then will your data be sent to the respective provider. Unless you click on the graphic, there will be no exchange between you and the providers of the social media buttons. Information about the collection and use of your data in the social networks can be found in the respective terms of use of the respective provider. You can find more information about the Shariff solution here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

 

We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website: Facebook, Google, Twitter

 

Google AdWords

 

Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages on our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. 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 with which users can be personally identified.

 

If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies or set your browser so that cookies from the domain "googleleadservices.com" are blocked.

 

Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies as long as you do not want measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all of your cookies in your browser, you have to set the respective opt-out cookie again.

 

Links to third party websites

 

The links published on our website are researched and compiled by us with the greatest possible care. However, we have no influence on the current and future design and content of the linked pages. We are not responsible for the content of the linked pages and we expressly do not adopt the content of these pages as our own. The provider of the linked website is solely responsible for illegal, incorrect or incomplete content and for damage resulting from the use or non-use of the information. The liability of those who only refer to the publication via a link is excluded. We are only responsible for third-party references if we have positive knowledge of them, ie also of any illegal or criminal content, and if it is technically possible and reasonable for us to prevent their use.

 

Change of our data protection regulations

 

We reserve the right to adapt this data protection declaration so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the data protection declaration, e.g. when introducing new services. The new data protection declaration will then apply to your next visit.
