1. Cookie consent tool

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard drive and are associated with the browser you are using and through which certain information flows to the organization that sets the cookie.

We use the following cookies on our pages:

  • Transient cookies

These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser. They include session cookies, in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

These cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which varies depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.

You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. We wish to point out that you may then be unable to use all the functions of this website.

2. Google Analytics

If you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”), is used on this website. It is also used in “Universal Analytics” mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions, and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user’s activities across devices.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer to help analyze how you use the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, however, your IP address is first truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. We wish to point out that Google Analytics has been extended to include IP anonymization on this website in order to ensure anonymized collection of IP addresses

(so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data from Google. For more information on terms of use and data privacy, please visit https://www.google.com/analyti... or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.

Purposes of processing: On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the website operator.

Legal basis: The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence (1) point (a) GDPR.

Recipients / categories of recipients: The recipient of the collected data is Google.

Transfer to third countries: Personal data is transferred to the US under the EU-US Privacy Shield based on the European Commission’s adequacy decision. You can access the certificate here.

Duration of data storage: The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs is automatically erased after 26 months. Data for which the retention period has elapsed is erased automatically once a month.

Rights of data subjects: You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by preventing storage of cookies through a corresponding setting in your browser software; however, we wish to point out that in this case you may be unable to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of that data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on.
