cookies
a) Session cookies/session cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are stored and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.
This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, since the processing enables, for example, our website to be displayed in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.
The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to process data for contract initiation or contract execution.
If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR.
These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.

In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, the processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player in this respect. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.
However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR. All you have to do is inform us of your revocation.

Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics on our website. This is a web analytics service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

The Google Analytics service is used to analyze the usage behavior of our website. The legal basis is Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website.
Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we use Google Analytics with the so-called anonymization function. With this function, Google already shortens the IP address within the EU or the EEA.
The data collected in this way is in turn used by Google to provide us with an evaluation of the visit to our website and the usage activities there. This data can also be used to provide other services related to the use of our website and the use of the Internet.
Google states that it does not associate your IP address with other data. In addition, Google entertains
https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners
Further data protection information is available for you, e.g. also on the possibilities of preventing the use of data.
In addition, Google offers under
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
a so-called deactivation add-on along with further information on this. This add-on can be installed with the most common Internet browsers and offers you further control over the data that Google collects when you visit our website. The add-on informs the Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that information about the visit to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, this does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analysis services. You can of course also find out whether and which other web analysis services we use in this data protection declaration.
"Google " social plugin
We use the plug-in of the social network Google ("Google Plus") on our website. Google is an Internet service provided by Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google".

Google maintains further information about the possible plug-ins and their respective functions
https://developers.google.com/ /web/
ready for you.
If the plug-in is stored on one of the pages of our website you visit, your Internet browser downloads a representation of the plug-in from Google's servers in the USA. For technical reasons, it is necessary for Google to process your IP address. In addition, however, the date and time of the visit to our website are also recorded.
If you are logged in to Google while you are visiting one of our websites with the plug-in, the information collected by the plug-in from your specific visit will be recognized by Google. Google may assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account there. For example, if you use Google's "Share" button, this information will be stored in your Google user account and, if necessary, published via the Google platform. If you want to prevent this, you must either log out of Google before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your Google user account.
