Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure.

With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict, or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured to automatically delete cookies when the program is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

The setting of cookies that are necessary for electronic communication processes or the provision of certain desired functions (e.g., shopping cart) is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services.

Google Analytics

Our website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analytics service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

IP anonymization

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization feature. It ensures that Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission to the USA. There may be exceptional cases in which Google transmits the full IP address to a server in the USA and shortens it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google Analytics does not merge the IP address transmitted by your browser with any other data held by Google.

 The website contains so-called "external links" (links) to other websites, the content of which the website provider has no influence over. For this reason, the provider cannot assume any liability for these contents. The respective provider of the linked website is responsible for the content and accuracy of the information provided. At the time of linking, no legal infringements were recognizable. If a legal infringement becomes known, the link will be removed immediately.

AdWords is an online advertising program. As part of the online advertising program, we use conversion tracking. After clicking on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Google AdWords cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of users. The cookie enables Google and us to recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies are not traceable via websites of AdWords customers. With conversion cookies, conversion statistics are created for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by disabling the Google conversion tracking cookie in your user settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As the website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our website and advertising.
