    II. Purposes and Legal Basis of the Data Processing
    1. Processing of personal data when visiting our website and as part of marketing measures on third-party websites and in social networks
    When you call up our Website, your browser will transfer certain data to our web server. This is done for technical reasons and required to make the requested information available to you. To facilitate your access to the Website, the following data are collected, briefly stored and used:
  • IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
  • Content of request (specific site)
  • Status of access/HTTP status code
  • Transferred volume of data
  • Website requesting access
  • Browser, language settings, version of browser software operating system and sur-face

Moreover, to protect our legitimate interests, we will store such data for a limited period of time in order to be able to initiate a tracking of personal data in the event of actual or attempted unauthor-ized access to our servers. We are allowed to process your personal data pursuant to Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR.
1.1 Cookies
This Website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the memory of your terminal via your browser. Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to make the internet offer more user-friendly and effective overall.
In view of the importance of data privacy, and our obligations of transparency, we provide infor-mation below about cookies, how we use them on our website and what options you have if, de-spite the benefits they bring, you prefer to disable them. We will assume you agree to accept the cookies that we use on our website if you do not disable or opt out of them as described below.

1.1.1 Terminology
When trying to understand cookies, and how to control them, it can help to know some terminolo-gy:

  • Cookies installed on your device by the organization running the website you are visiting are known as “first party” cookies.
  • Cookies installed on your device via the website you are visiting by another organization are termed “third party” cookies. An example is a cookie set by a specialist website analytics company that provides the website owner with data on the numbers of people visiting its website.
  • So-called “persistent cookies” remain on your device even after you close your internet browser. They are activated each time you visit the website that created that particular cookie. For example, where a “persistent cookie” is used on a website to remember your login details, you will not need to enter those details each time you visit that website.
  • Session cookies, by contrast, are temporary and are typically used to enable the website to operate, e.g. by permitting a user to move from page to page without having to log in again. Once you close your browser, all session cookies are deleted.
  • “Flash cookies” are installed from websites that contain media (e.g. video clips). This re-quires specific software. This allows content to be downloaded and information to be stored faster, e.g. that the content has been accessed from your device.

1.1.2 Cookies we use
To enhance user experience, this website uses ‘persistent’ and ‘session’ cookies for the purposes described below. These cookies are generally ‘first party’ cookies, but may also be ‘third party’ cookies.
(1) Website functionality
Cookies that are essential for our website to function technically or which provide a service or option that you have requested. For example, a cookie that “remembers” your authenti-cation details so you can remain logged into secure internet banking facilities, or a cookie that remembers the country or language you have selected.
(2) Website performance analysis
Cookies that help us improve our website by providing us with aggregate statistics on how many users visit it, which parts of the site are viewed the most, and the city or regional loca-tion of those users. These may be installed by a third party analytics provider under a con-tract with us.

(3) Tracking and Targeting Cookies
In order to be able to provide you with the most relevant information about our products and services, we use cookies to be aware of which content you have viewed on our web-site.
We may also use this information for the purposes of our advertising campaigns on third party websites. In that case, we may also receive information about the websites of our marketing partners on which you saw our advertisements. Similarly, third parties may dis-play their advertisements on our website and they may become aware that you have visit-ed our website.
1.1.3 How to control cookies – Opt Out
We will not pass on the information stored in the cookies to third parties without your explicit con-sent. You can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. To prevent the use of cookies by your Internet browser, you can (1) refuse the use of cookies when accessing our website via the cookie layer or (2) deactivate the use of cookies via the settings of your Internet browser. You can use the help functions of your Internet browser to learn how to deactivate and/or delete cookies in your browser. Please note that the deactiva-tion/deletion of cookies may result in certain functions of our website no longer functioning as ex-pected. Cookies that may be required for certain functions of our website are shown below. In addition, the deactivation/deletion of cookies only affects the Internet browser used for this pur-pose. For other Internet browsers, the deactivation/deletion of cookies must therefore be repeat-ed accordingly.
We are permitted to process data in this context by law Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We store this data until the cookie in question expires or until you delete it.
Any further processing of personal data using cookies is outlined in the relevant sections within this information.
1.2 Web Analytics
1.2.1 Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. “(“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. 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, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services associated with website and Internet use.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
(3) 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 the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the fol-lowing link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that a personal relationship can be ruled out. As far as the data collected about you includes a personal reference, this will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. We can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted to the EU-US Priva-cy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework .
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
(6) Third party information: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.
Terms & conditions: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html
Data Protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html,
Privacy Policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

1.2.2 Google Analytics Remarketing
(1) Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick (see sections 1.2.3 and 1.2.4). The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
(2) This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-related, personalised advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on a termi-nal device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your end devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
(3) If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google Account for this purpose. This way, the same personalized advertising messages can be delivered to every device you sign in to with your Google Account. To support this fea-ture, Google Analytics collects Google authenticated user IDs that are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personal-ized advertising in your Google Account by following this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
(4) The summary of the data collected in your Google Account is exclusively based on your con-sent, which you can submit or revoke to Google (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). For data collection operations that are not aggregated in your Google Account (e.g. because you do not have a Google Account or have opposed the aggregation), the collection of data is based on Article 6(1) (f) GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in anonymous analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
For further information and Google’s privacy policy follow https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/ .
(5) This website uses the “demographic features” function of Google Analytics. This allows re-ports to be created that contain information on the age, gender and interests of site visi-tors. This data comes from interest-related advertising by Google and from visitor data from third-party providers. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time from the display settings in your Google Account or opt-out of the col-lection of your data by Google Analytics as described in “Opt-out of data collection”.
(6) You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is set which prevents the collection of your data on future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.
For further information on how Google Analytics handles user data and Google’s privacy policy follow https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.
1.2.3 Google Adwords
(1) Our website uses the Google Adwords service. Google AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). We use the remarketing function within the Google AdWords service. The re-marketing function enables us to present advertisements based on their interests to users of our website on other websites within the Google display network (on Google itself, so-called “Google ads” or on other websites). For this purpose, the interaction of users on our website is analyzed, e.g. which offers the user was interested in, in order to be able to dis-play targeted advertising to users even after visiting our website on other pages. To do this, Google stores a number in the browsers of users who visit certain Google services or web-sites on the Google Display Network. This number, known as a “cookie”, is used to record the visits of these users. This number is used to uniquely identify a web browser on a par-ticular computer and not to identify a person.
(2) You can disable the use of cookies by Google by following the link below and downloading and installing the plug-in provided there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin . For more information about Google Re-marketing and Google’s privacy policy, please visit: http://www.google.com/privacy/ads/ .
(3) Furthermore, we use the so-called Conversion Tracking when using the Google AdWords service. When you click on an advertisement served by Google, a conversion tracking cook-ie is placed on your computer or device. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days, and will only be used for personal identification. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking.
(4) 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 the full functionality of this website. In addition, you can disable interest-based ads on Google and interest-based Google ads on the web (within the Google display network) in your browser by clicking the “Off” button at http://www.google.de/settings/ads or by disabling them at http://www.aboutads.info/choices/. For more information about your choices and privacy on Google, please visit https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/?fg=1 .
(5) We process your personal data based on our legitimate interest in playing off product rec-ommendations and carrying out marketing measures pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f.) GDPR. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submit-ted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework .
1.2.4 DoubleClick by Google
(1) This website uses the online marketing tool DoubleClick by Google. Double-Click uses cook-ies to serve ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to track which ads are displayed in which browser and to prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, DoubleClick may use cookie IDs to collect conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a double-click ad and later visits the adver-tiser’s website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.
(2) Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connec-tion to the Google server. We have no influence on the extent and the further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our level of knowledge: By integrating DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called the corresponding part of our Internet presence or clicked on an adver-tisement from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is a possibility that the provider may obtain and store your IP address.
(3) You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways:
a) by setting your browser software accordingly, in particular the suppression of third party cookies means that you will not receive any advertisements from third party providers;
b) by disabling cookies for conversion tracking, by setting your browser to block cookies from the “www.googleadservices.com” domain, https://www.google.de/settings/ads “, which is deleted when you delete your cookies;
c) by deactivating the interest-based ads of providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulation campaign via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices “, this setting being de-leted if you delete your cookies;
d) by permanently deactivating in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome brows-ers under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin .
Please note that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this offer in full.

(4) The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. For more information about DoubleClick by Google, please visit https://www.google.de/doubleclick and http://support.google.com/adsense/answer/2839090 , and for general information about Google’s data protection visit: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/?fg=1 . Al-ternatively, you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org . Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
1.3 Links to social media websites
On our website you will find links to social media networks such as Facebook and Twitter. These are not plugins provided by the provider Facebook or Twitter, which already transmit data to the pro-vider when the page is loaded without the users having any influence. Behind the buttons to the social media networks there is only a link to the social media network including the transfer of the website to be shared. No user data is transmitted from the website to the social media network. If you are already logged in to the relevant social media service at the time you click the button, the sharing dialog will detect this so that you can share the content directly. If this is not the case, you will be asked to log in to the social media network. From this point on you will be on the website of the respective social media network. Information on data processing of the respective providers can be found below.
