Cookies

To make your visit to our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use cookies—small text files that are stored on your device. Cookies cannot execute programs or transmit viruses to your computer system.

Cookies that are required to carry out electronic communication or provide specific functions you have requested are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy.

  • Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted after your visit ends.
  • Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.


Web Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

Our website uses the Google Analytics web analytics service in its version Google Analytics 4. The provider is Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of our website. Data from devices within the EU (based on IP address location) is collected via domains and servers in the EU before traffic is forwarded to analytics servers for processing.

Legal Basis: The processing of your data is based on your consent, granted via the cookie consent tool, under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

IP Anonymization: The IP anonymization function is automatically enabled on our website. Your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the EU or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google does not store IP addresses but only processes them temporarily for geolocation.

Data Processing Agreement: We have concluded a data processing agreement with Google and fully comply with the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.

Retention Period: Data linked to cookies, user IDs, or advertising IDs is deleted after two months. Details are available at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/7667196?hl=en.

Withdrawal of Consent: You can revoke your consent to data processing at any time with effect for the future by adjusting the cookie settings. The legality of processing based on consent before its withdrawal remains unaffected.

More information on Google’s privacy practices is available at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=de.

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager, a tool from Google Ireland Ltd., for managing website tags. The Tag Manager does not collect personal data itself but enables the activation of other tags that may collect data. If deactivation has been set on a domain or cookie level, it applies to all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.


Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

Our website uses Google Ads, an online advertising program, to highlight our offerings on external websites and evaluate the success of individual advertising measures. Conversion tracking involves cookies set when users click on Google ads, enabling measurement of interactions like clicks or purchases. These cookies expire after 30 days and do not allow personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can deactivate cookies via your browser settings.

More details on Google Ads’ data usage can be found at https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.


SSL/TLS Encryption

Our website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential data, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” in the address bar and the lock symbol in your browser.


Retention Period

Personal data transmitted to us via our website is stored only as long as necessary to fulfill the purpose for which it was entrusted to us. Where commercial and tax retention periods apply, certain data may be stored for up to 10 years.
