We use cookies on our website.

1. General information

A “cookie” is a – usually small – amount of data that your browser automatically creates and that can be stored in a text file on your terminal (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your terminal and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware.

In the cookies, information is stored that arises in each case in connection with the specific terminal you use. However, this does not mean that we obtain direct knowledge of your identity.

2. Necessary cookies – usable without consent

Cookies, which also store your personal data listed above under III are technically necessary for the use of our website. These cookies are deleted when you close the browser.

The use of these cookies is justified under Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR in order to be able to present our website to you appropriately.

3. Web analysis with Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”).

a) Purpose of processing

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website on our behalf, compiling reports/statistics on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to us.

However, due to the activation of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within 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.

The data will be stored for 24 months.

b) Legal basis – Consent

This processing only takes place with your consent and is then justified under Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR..

c) Transfer to a third country

Google Ireland Limited is an affiliated company of Google LLC. Google LLC has its headquarters in the USA (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043). The level of data protection in the USA is considered insufficient with regard to the requirements of the GDPR. However, we would like to point out that we have selected the “IP address anonymisation” function for Google Analytics so that your IP address is not transmitted in full. You can find more information on this at:

VIII. Data security

Within the website visit we use the widespread SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in connection with the highest encryption level supported by your browser. As a rule, this is a 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognise 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 encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
 
In addition, we use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
