4. Data collection on our website

Cookies
Some of our websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are designed to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can set your browser to inform you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude cookies for certain cases or generally, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are necessary for electronic communication or for providing certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data will not be merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The data entered into the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and Tools

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Ireland Limited. If the data controller on this website is located outside the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Analytics data processing is carried out by Google LLC. Google LLC and Google Ireland Limited are hereinafter referred to as "Google."

Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on the visitor's computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about the visitor's use of the website (including the shortened IP address) is usually transferred to a Google server and stored there.

Google Analytics is used exclusively with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension on this website. This extension anonymizes the IP address by shortening it, thus preventing it from being directly linked to a person. This extension shortens Google's IP address within member states of the European Union or other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address transmitted by the corresponding browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use the information collected to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on the e website activities and to provide the website operator with other services related to website and internet usage (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR). The legitimate interest in data processing lies in the optimization of this website, the analysis of website usage, and the adaptation of content. Users' interests are adequately protected by pseudonymization.

Google LLC is certified under the so-called Privacy Shield (list entry here) and, on this basis, guarantees an appropriate level of data protection. The data sent and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., user ID), or advertising IDs are automatically deleted after 50 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.

The collection by Google Analytics can be prevented by the website visitor by adjusting the cookie settings for this website. Furthermore, the collection and storage of the IP address and the data generated by cookies can be revoked at any time with future effect. The corresponding browser plug-in can be downloaded and installed at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

Visitors can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website by clicking on the following link. This will set an opt-out cookie that prevents future collection of data when visiting this website.

Further information on Google's data usage, settings, and opt-out options can be found in Google's privacy policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy) and in the settings for displaying advertisements by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).

Use of Facebook social plug-ins using the "2-click solution"
Our website may use so-called social plug-ins ("plug-ins") from the social network Facebook. This service is offered by Facebook Inc. ("Provider").

Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). An overview of Facebook plug-ins and their appearance can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

To increase the protection of your data when you visit our website, the plug-ins are integrated into the page using a so-called "2-click solution." This integration ensures that no connection is established with the Facebook servers when you visit a page on our website containing such plug-ins. Only when you activate the plug-ins and thus consent to the data transfer does your browser establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the respective plug-in is transmitted directly to your browser and integrated into the page. By integrating the plug-ins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you interact with the plug-ins, e.g., by clicking the "Like" button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your contacts there. For information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy at http://wbs.is/rom91.

Embedded videos and images from external websites
Some of our pages may contain embedded content from YouTube or Instagram. Simply accessing a page on our website with embedded videos or images from our YouTube and/or Instagram channels will not transmit any personal data, with the exception of your IP address. In the case of YouTube, the IP address is transmitted to Google Inc., 600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”) and in the case of Instagram, the IP address is transmitted to Instagram Inc., 181 SouthPark Street Suite 2 San Francisco, California 94107, USA (“Instagram”).
