Cookies

Some websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our services more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Any other cookies (e.g., cookies used to analyze your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website – for this, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Comment Function on This Website

When using the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information such as the time the comment was created, your email address, and—if you do not post anonymously—the username you have chosen will also be stored.

Retention Period of Comments

Legal Basis

The storage of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This data is derived from Google’s interest-based advertising as well as third-party visitor data. This data cannot be attributed to any specific person. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account, or you can generally prevent the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section “Objection to Data Collection.”

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad displayed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files that the web browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customer websites. The information collected via the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that would allow them to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your web browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both their web offerings and advertising.

For more information on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

Facebook Pixel

Our website uses the Facebook Pixel for conversion tracking, provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).

This allows us to track the behavior of website visitors after they are redirected to the provider’s website by clicking on a Facebook ad. This helps evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, as well as optimize future advertising campaigns.

The data collected is anonymous to us as the operator of this website, and we cannot draw conclusions about the identity of the users. However, the data is stored and processed by Facebook, allowing it to be linked to the respective user profile. Facebook can then use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with the Facebook Data Use Policy. This enables Facebook to display ads on Facebook pages as well as outside of Facebook. This use of data cannot be influenced by us as website operators.

For more information on how Facebook protects your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
