“Cookies” are small files that are stored on users` computers. Different information can be stored within the cookies. A cookie is primarily used to store the information about a user (or the device on which the cookie is saved) during or after his visit to an online offer. Temporary cookies, e.g. “session cookies” or “transient cookies” are cookies that are deleted after a user leaves an online service and closes his browser. The term “permanent” or “persistent” refers to cookies that remain stored even after the browser has been closed. Thus, e.g. contents of the shopping cart are saved when users visit them after several days. Likewise, in such a cookie the interests of the users can be stored, which are used for scope measurement or marketing purposes. A “third party cookie” refers to cookies that are stored by other providers, e.g. Google, Facebook, advertisers. For more information see the explanations of the respective provider.
We use temporary and permanent cookies. The legal basis for the data, processed by cookies, is art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.
If users do not want cookies stored on their computer, they will be asked to deactivate the option in their browser`s system settings. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser or automatically deleted after expiration of the validity period of 90 days. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of our online offer.
A general objection regarding the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be found in a variety of services, especially in the case of tracking, explained via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/.
Based on our legitimate interests (this means in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR) we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active.
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offer by users, to compile reports on the activities within our online offer and to provide us with further services related to the use of this online offer and the internet usage. In this case, pseudonymous usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data.
We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of the users will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The IP address submitted by the user`s browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users may also prevent the storage of the data generated by the cookies and the use of the data from the online offer, as well as the processing of these data by Google, if they download and install the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
More information about the use of data by Google, options for settings and objection can be found in the privacy policy of Google https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads or in the Google Ads settings https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
The personal data of users will be deleted after 38 months.
On the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, we use the marketing and remarketing services (“Google Marketing Services”) of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, („Google“).
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active.
Google Marketing Services allows us to better target advertisements for and on our website so that we only present ads to users that potentially match their interests. For example, if a user is shown advertisements for products for which he is interested on other websites, they refer to “remarketing”. For these purposes, when accessing Google and our other websites on which Google Marketing Services are active, a code is executed directly by Google and so-called (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also called “Web Beacons”) are incorporated in the website. With their help, the user is provided with an individual cookie, this means that a small file is saved (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can also be used). The cookies can be set by different domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com or googleadservices.com. In this file is noted which web pages the user visited, in which content he is interested and what offers he has clicked on, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, time of visit and other information on the use of the online offer. The IP address of the users is also registered, and in the context of Google Analytics we inform you that the IP address will be shortened according to the information provided by the member states of the European Union or other parties to the agreement on the European Economic Area and that only exceptionally, the data is transferred entirely to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address will not be merged with data of the user within other offers from Google. The above mentioned information may also be linked with information from other sources by Google. If the user visits other websites, then other ads, tailored to his interests, can be displayed.
The data of the users are pseudonym processed in the context of the Google Marketing Services. This means that e.g. Google does not save and process the name or email address of the user, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. From the perspective of Google, the ads are not managed and displayed to a specifically identified person, but to the cookie owner, regardless of who the cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly allowed Google to process the data without pseudonymization. The information collected about users through Google Marketing Services is transmitted to Google and stored on Google`s servers in the United States.
Among the Google Marketing Services we use is among other things the online advertising program “Google AdWords”. In the case of Google AdWords, each advertiser receives a different “conversion cookie”. Cookies cannot be tracked through AdWords advertisers´ websites. The information collected through the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Advertisers will see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, they do not receive information which personally identifies users.
We can incorporate third-party ads based on the Google AdSense marketing service. AdSense uses cookies that enable Google and its affiliate sites to serve ads based on users` visits to this site or other sites on the Internet.
In addition, we may use the “Google Tag Manager” to integrate and manage the Google Analytics and Marketing Services on our website.

We include the function to detect bots, e.g. when entering online forms (“ReCaptcha”) of the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
We include maps from the Google Maps service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The processed data may include, in particular, IP addresses and location data of the user, but these are not collected without their consent (usually as part of the settings of their mobile devices). The data can be processed in the USA. Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/, Opt-Out: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
We maintain online presence within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, prospects and users who are active there and to inform them about our services. When accessing the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guide lines for the respective operators apply.
Unless otherwise stated in our data protection policy, we process user´s data as long as they communicate with us via social networks and platforms, e.g. write posts on our online sites or send us messages.
Based on our legitimate interests (this means in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer within the meaning of art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR) we use social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“Facebook”). The plugins can represent interaction elements or content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions) and can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos (white “f) on blue tile, the terms “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active.
When a user calls a function of this website that contains a social plugin, his device will connect directly to the servers of Facebook. The content of the plugin is directly transmitted by Facebook to the device of the user and incorporated by him into the online offer. In the process, user profiles can be created from the processed data. Therefore, we have no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and inform the users according to our knowledge.
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the online offer. If the user logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, e.g. press the “Like” button or leave a comment, the information is transmitted from your device directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in Germany.
The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in Facebook´s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about him via this online offer and link it to his member data stored on Facebook, he must log out of Facebook and delete his cookies before using our online offer.

Within our online offer, due to our legitimate interests, optimization and economic operation of our online offer and for these purposes, the so-called “Facebook pixels” of the social network Facebook, by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA, or, if you are located in the EU, Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are used.
Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement, which provides a guarantee to comply with European privacy legislation https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active.
With the help of the Facebook pixels, it is possible for Facebook, among other things, to label the visitors of our online offer as a target group for displaying advertisements (so-called “Facebook Ads”). Accordingly, we use the Facebook pixels to display the Facebook Ads we have been sent only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offer or who have certain features (e.g. interest in certain topics or products determined by the visited web pages) which we transmit to Facebook (so-called “Custom Audiences”). With the help of the Facebook pixels, we also want to make sure that our Facebook ads are in line with the potential interest of the users and not annoying. With the help of the Facebook pixels, we can also understand the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes, in which we see whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called “conversion”).
The processing of the data by Facebook is part of Facebook`s data usage policy. Accordingly, general notes on how to display Facebook Ads can be found in Facebook`s Data Usage Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. For specific information and details about the Facebook pixels and its functions, visit the help section of Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616.
You may object to the capture of the Facebook pixels and use of your data to display Facebook Ads. To set which types of ads you see within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions for the usage-based advertising settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads. The settings are platform independent, which means they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.
