Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. Through this, we automatically receive specific data such as IP address, browser used, operating system, and your connection to the Internet.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use it. 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 these websites, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or other contracting states of 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 shortened there. On behalf of this website's operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

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

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 this website's full functionality. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser Add On to disable Google Analytics.

Also, or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking on this link. This will install an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent the collection by Google Analytics for this website and this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts)

We use script libraries and font libraries on this website to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loads. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content is displayed in a standard font.

Calling script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible - although it is currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes - for operators of such libraries to collect data.

The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/

Use of Google Maps

This website uses Google Maps API to display geographical information visually. When using Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about visitors' use of the map functions. You can find more information about data processing by Google in the Google privacy policy can be found here. There you can also change your privacy settings in the Privacy Center.

Detailed instructions on how to manage your data in connection with Google products can be found here.

Embedded YouTube videos

On some of our web pages, we embed Youtube videos. The corresponding plugins operator is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This tells YouTube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.

When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.

Those who have deactivated the saving of cookies for the Google Ad program will not have to deal with such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you would like to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in the browser.

For more information on data protection at "YouTube," please refer to the provider's privacy policy at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Integration of third-party services and content

Our offer sometimes includes the contents, services, and performances of other providers. These are, for example, maps provided by Google Maps, videos from YouTube, and graphics and images from other websites. For this data to be called up and displayed in the user's browser, the IP address transmission is mandatory. The providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") thus perceive the respective user's IP address.

Even though we strive to use only third-party providers that only need the IP address to deliver content, we have no control over whether the IP address may be stored. In this case, this process serves statistical purposes, among others. If we are aware that the IP address is stored, we inform our users of this fact.

Change of our privacy policy

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