III. Information on data processing
Your data processed when using our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the deletion of the data is not opposed by any legal storage obligations and no other information is subsequently provided on individual processing procedures.
Server Data
For technical reasons, in particular to ensure a secure and stable website, data is transmitted by your internet browser to us or to our web space provider. These so-called server log files include the type and version of your internet browser, the operating system, the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL), the website(s) of our website that you visit, the date and time of the respective access and the IP address of the internet connection from which the use of our website takes place.
The data collected in this way is stored temporarily, but not together with other data from you.
This storage takes place on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the stability, functionality and security of our website.
The data will be deleted after seven days at the latest, unless further retention is required for evidentiary purposes. Otherwise, the data will be wholly or partially excluded from deletion until an incident has been definitively clarified.
Cookies
A) Session Cookies
We use so-called cookies with our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored on your end device by the internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you to an individual extent, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing enables, for example, the display of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit b.) GDPR, provided that these cookies process data for the initiation or execution of a contract.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or execute a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.

If necessary, cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purpose of advertising, analysis or the functionalities of our website will also be used with our website.
Please refer to the following information for details on this, in particular on the purposes and legal bases of the processing of such third-party cookies.

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by setting your internet browser accordingly. You can also delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific internet browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. With so-called flash cookies, however, the processing cannot be prevented via the settings of the browser. Instead, you must change the setting of your flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may, however, result in not all functions of our website being fully usable.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of the visit to our website, are transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. This function allows Google to shorten the IP address within the EU or the EEA.

Google states that it does not connect your IP address with other data. In addition, Google keeps under

In addition, Google offers under

a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the common internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you access our website. The add-on tells the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about the visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. Whether and which other web analysis services are used by us, you will of course also find out in this privacy policy.

Further information about the possible plug-ins and their respective functions is available from Facebook at

If the plug-in is stored on one of the pages of our website you visit, your internet browser downloads a representation of the plug-in from the servers of Facebook in the USA. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Facebook to process your IP address. In addition, the date and time of your visit to our website are also recorded.
If you are logged in to Facebook while visiting one of our website pages equipped with the plug-in, the information collected by the plug-in about your specific visit will be recognized by Facebook. The information collected in this way may be assigned by Facebook to your personal user account there. So, if you use the so-called “Like” button from Facebook, this information will be stored in your Facebook user account and, if necessary, published via the Facebook platform. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of Facebook before visiting our website or prevent the loading of the Facebook plug-in by using an add-on for your internet browser.
Further information about the collection and use of data as well as your rights and protection options in this regard is available from Facebook in the data protection notices available at

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
Google, and thus also its subsidiary YouTube, guarantees that EU data protection requirements are also complied with when processing data in the USA.
We use YouTube in conjunction with the “Enhanced Privacy Mode” function to display videos to you. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

According to YouTube, the “Enhanced Privacy Mode” function ensures that the data described in more detail below is only transmitted to YouTube’s server if you actually start a video.
Without this “Enhanced Privacy”, a connection to YouTube’s server in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our website pages where a YouTube video is embedded.
This connection is necessary to display the respective video on our website via your internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least collect and process your IP address, the date and time, and the website page you visited. In addition, a connection to Google’s “DoubleClick” advertising network is established.
If you are simultaneously logged in to YouTube, YouTube assigns the connection information to your YouTube account. To prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or adjust the relevant settings in your YouTube user account.
For the purpose of functionality and to analyze user behavior, YouTube permanently stores cookies on your device via your internet browser. If you do not agree with this processing, you have the option to prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting a setting in your internet browser.

If you click on an advertisement placed by Google, the Conversion Tracking we use stores a cookie on your device. These so-called conversion cookies expire after 30 days and do not serve for your personal identification.
If the cookie is still valid and you visit a specific page of our website, both we and Google can evaluate that you have clicked on one of our ads placed with Google and that you were subsequently redirected to our website.
The information thus obtained allows Google to compile statistics for us about visits to our website. In addition, we receive information about the number of users who clicked on our ad(s) and about the pages of our website subsequently accessed. However, neither we nor third parties who also use Google AdWords are able to identify you in this way.
Through the corresponding settings of your internet browser, you can also prevent or restrict the installation of cookies. At the same time, you can delete already stored cookies at any time. However, the steps and measures required for this depend on the specific internet browser you use. If you have questions, please use the help function or documentation of your internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support.
