The cookie stores information generated in connection with the particular terminal used. However, that does not mean we acquire a direct knowledge of your identity.
Firstly, we use cookies to make the information offered by us easier for you to use. For example, we use “session cookies” in order to see that you have already visited certain pages of our website. These cookies are erased automatically when you leave our website.
We also use temporary cookies to optimize the user friendliness of our site; these are stored on your terminal for a certain specified time. If you visit our site again in order to make use of our services they recognize automatically that you have visited us before and know what entries and settings you have used, so that you do not have to enter them again.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and operational - streamlined delivery of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para.

Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser in such a way that no cookies can be stored on your computer or so that a warning always appears before a new cookie is set up. However, if you deactivate cookies completely you may not be able to use all the functions on our website.
The following tracking tools used by us are applied on the basis of Art. 6 Subparagraph 1 S. 1 Point f GDPR or Art. 6 Subparagraph 1 S. 1 Point a GDPR . By using these tracking tools we hope to ensure that our website is designed in keeping with users’ needs and in order to optimize it continuously. Secondly, we use the tracking tools to record the use of our website statistically and optimize our offer to you. The basis for this can be legitimate interest or consent. The different purposes of data processing and data categories can be seen from the relevant tracking tools.
To permit design of the website in keeping with user needs and optimize it continuously, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as “Google”). In this connection, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies used (see Section 4). The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as
is transferred to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. The information is used to analyze use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide other services in connection with use of the website and the internet for the purposes of market research and suitable design of the internet sites. In some cases such information is communicated to third parties if this is required by law, or to the extent that third parties have been commissioned to process the data. On no account will your IP address be merged with other data collected by Google. The IP addresses are anonymized so that no assignment to specific persons is possible (IP masking).
You can prevent the installation of cookies by applying the relevant setting in your browser software. Please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to make full use of all the functions on this website.
Moreover, you can prevent Google from recording the data generated by the cookie on your use of the website (including your IP address), and also processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser add-on available under the following link: (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially with browsers on mobile terminals, you can also prevent recording by Google Analytics by clicking this link. This sets an opt-out cookie that prevents any future recording of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only applicable to this browser and only to our website, and it is installed on your device. If you erase the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

c) Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
In order to record use of our website statistically and evaluate the information for optimizing the website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. To permit this, Google AdWords sets a cookie on your computer (see Section 4) if you have reached our website through a Google advertisement.
These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and do not serve to permit personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the website of the AdWords customer and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can see that the user has clicked the advertisement and been directed to this page.
Each AdWords customer is issued with a different cookie. This means that cookies cannot be traced via the websites of AdWords customers. The information acquired with the aid of conversion cookies is used to draw up conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have decided to use conversion tracking. The AdWords customers are informed of the total number of users who have clicked the advertisement and been directed to a site with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be identified personally.
If you do not wish to take part in the tracking system, you can reject the cookie required for this too – for instance with the browser setting that deactivates the installation of cookies in general. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser in such a way that cookies from the domain www.googleadservices.com are blocked. You will find Google’s privacy policy on conversion tracking here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).

On the basis of Art. 6 Subparagraph 1 S. 1 Point f GDPR our website makes use of social plugins for the social networks LinkedIn in order to make our company better known through these media. The commercial purpose behind this is to be deemed a legitimate interest in the meaning of the GDPR. Responsibility for operation in compliance with the data protection laws lies with the provider concerned. These plugins are incorporated by us using the “two-click method” in order to protect visitors to our website to the fullest possible extent.
Our website uses social media plugins from Facebook in order to personalize its use. For this we use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button. This is an offer provided by Facebook.
When you call up a page of our website that contains a plugin of this kind, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transferred directly from Facebook to your browser, and from there it is incorporated into the website.
Through incorporation of the plugin, Facebook receives the information that your browser has called up this page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not logged in to Facebook at the moment. This information (including your IP address) is transferred from your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.
If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign your visit to our website directly to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example if you activate the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button, the corresponding information is also communicated directly to a Facebook server and stored there. Moreover, the information is published on Facebook and shown to your Facebook friends.
Facebook can use this information for the purpose of advertising, market research and user-friendly design of the Facebook sites. To do so, Facebook draws up user, interest and relationship profiles, for example in order to evaluate your use of our website in respect of the advertisements displayed to you by Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website or to perform other services in connection with the use of Facebook.
If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected through our website to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
You will find information on the purpose and extent of data acquisition and further processing and use of the data by Facebook, on your rights in this connection and on possibilities of configuring your browser to protect your privacy, in Facebook’s privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).
Our website also uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”).
The plugins are indicated by an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an “Instagram camera”.
When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the Instagram servers. Instagram transfers the content of the plugin directly to your browser and incorporates it into the website. Through this incorporation of the plugin, Instagram receives the information that your browser has called up this page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not logged in to Instagram at the moment.
Your browser communicates this information (including your IP address) directly to an Instagram server in the USA, where it is stored. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can assign your visit to our website directly to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by activating the “Instagram” button, this information is also communicated directly to an Instagram server and stored there.
The information is also published on your Instagram account and shown to your contacts there.
If you do not want Instagram to assign the data acquired through our website directly to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website.
You will find more information on this in Instagram’s privacy policy (https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388) .
Social plugins (“plugins”) from LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Irland are operated on our website.
These plugins are marked by a LinkedIn logo, for example in the form of the letters “IN” in white type.
When you access a page on our website that has such a plugin, your browser will connect directly to LinkedIn’s servers. The content of the plugin is sent by LinkedIn directly to your browser and incorporated into the page. This tells LinkedIn that your browser has accessed the respective page of our website, even if you don’t have a LinkedIn profile, or have one but are not logged in there.
This information (including your IP address) is sent by your browser directly to a LinkedIn server and stored there. If you’re logged onto LinkedIn, LinkedIn can associate your visit to our website directly with your LinkedIn account. When you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “LinkedIn” button, this information is likewise sent directly to a LinkedIn server and stored there.
The information is also published on your LinkedIn account and shown to your contacts there.
If you don’t want LinkedIn to associate data gathered by our website directly with your LinkedIn account, you’ll need to log off LinkedIn before visiting our website.
