(a) General:
Cookies are small text files placed on your device to store data that can be recalled by a web server. We use cookies [and similar technologies] for storing and fulfilling your preferences and settings, enabling you to sign in, providing interest-based advertising, analyzing how our products perform, and fulfilling other legitimate purposes.
We provide a transparent explanation to enable you to control the use of your personal data by adapting your cookie settings.
(b) Types of Cookies
We differentiate between cookies that are essential for the technical functions of the Website and optional cookies, including statistical, marketing or third party
media cookies.
“Essentials”
These are necessary for the technical operation of the Website. Some functions on our website cannot be offered without these cookies.
“Statistics”
In order to further improve our offer and our website, we collect anonymized data for statistics and analysis. With the help of these cookies we can, for example, determine the number of visitors and the effect of certain pages on our website and optimize our content. Analysis cookies and tags enable us to generate overall statistics, e.g., about the number of views, which areas of the website are viewed most often and information about locations and the duration of the average stay on the website. This allows us to improve the quality and content of our website.
“Marketing”
Allow us to follow visitors on the Website, to show you relevant and appealing advertisements or to have them shown by third parties.
“Third Party Media”
Contents of video, streaming and social media networks are blocked by default. If you accept these cookies you will be able to access these contents without giving manual further permission. As they are placed not by us but other parties, these companies use and process the data they obtain in accordance with their own privacy policies, which may enable them to collect and combine information about your activities across websites, apps, or online services.
Some of the cookies we use are automatically deleted after the browsers are closed (so-called session cookies), others remain permanently on your device and allow us to recognize your browser (so-called persistent cookies).
(c) Controlling Cookies / Legal Basis / Consent:
The use of marketing, tracking or analysis cookies requires your prior express consent without which they will not be stored. We request this via the cookie banner when you start using the Website, which informs you about our cookie policy and gives you the option of refusing or granting your consent for all or certain types of cookies.
You can make or change your cookie settings or revoke the consent you have given without stating reasons at any time: Cookie Options
If you give us your consent, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. We use essential or technically necessary cookies based on our legitimate interest of being able to operate and provide a functioning website.
You also have a variety of technical tools to fully control the use of cookies. For example, you can use control settings of your internet browser to limit how the websites you visit are able to use cookies, delete cookies in your browser, disable the storage of cookies completely or selectively accept certain cookies and withdraw your consent by clearing or blocking cookies.
This may limit the functionality of our Website.
1.3. Google Analytics
On our Website we use Google Analytics with the extension “anonymizeIp”, a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (” Google“) reporting us details about how you and others use our Website. As a result, IP addresses from within the member states of the European Union or the European Economic Area will be truncated before further processing by Google. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. A personal identification can thus be excluded. Insofar as the data collected about you becomes identifiable, it will be immediately excluded and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
The legal basis for our use of Google Analytics is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. On our behalf, Google will use the data obtained to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on Website activity and to provide us with other services related to website usage and internet usage. The purpose of the processing is to analyze and optimize our Website.
You can prevent the storage of cookies through appropriate settings in your browser, for example by generally deactivating the automatic setting of cookies. In this case, functions of this website may no longer be used properly. In addition, you may prevent the collection of the data related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as their transmission to and processing by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

We do not use social media plug-ins. However, at various points on our website, we offer you the opportunity to visit our social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Youtube, Vimeo and LinkedIn. If you click on the respective logo or the name of a social network, you will be forwarded via a link to our page on the respective social media website.
Before you click on the respective logos or links, no personal data will be transmitted to the social media. The possibility of personal data being transmitted to and processed by the respective social network only exists from the moment you click on the logo on our website and are forwarded to the social media website. In particular, if you are logged in with your respective social media account at the time of forwarding, personal data processing will occur. In addition, however, data – such as your IP address – can be processed if you do not have a social media account.
We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purpose of the processing, the retention periods or the deletion of the data, by the respective social media.
