Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

 

Some data processing is only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your already given consent at any time. For the revocation, an informal notification by e-mail is sufficient.

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties.

Cookies

 

Our site uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device. Cookies help us to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Some cookies are ‘session cookies’. Such cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your browser session. However, other cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us to recognize you when you return to our website.

With a modern web browser you can control, limit or prevent the placing of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured to automatically delete cookies when the program is closed. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

The setting of cookies, which are necessary to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions that you wish (e.g. shopping cart), is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for a technically error-free and problem-free provision of our services.

Google Analytics

 

Our website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider of the web analysis service is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your device and that allow an analysis of website usage. Information generated by cookies about your use of our website is transmitted to a Google server and stored there. The server location is usually the US.

Google Analytics cookies are set on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize our website and, where necessary, advertising.

IP-anonymising

We use Google Analytics in conjunction with the IP anonymization feature. It causes Google to shorten your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is sent to the USA. There may be exceptional cases where Google sends the full IP address to a server in the US and abbreviates it there. On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

The placing of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. However, this may limit some functions of our website. You can also prevent the collection of data related to your website usage, including your IP address, and subsequent processing by Google. You can do this by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available from the following link:

Demographics in Google Analytics

 

Our website uses the “demographic features” feature of Google Analytics. It can be used to create reports that contain statements about the age, gender and interests of the site visitors. This data comes from Google’s interest-based advertising and visitor data from third-party providers. It is not possible to assign the data to a specific person. You can deactivate this function at any time. You can do this through the ad settings in your Google account or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics as explained in the “Objection to data collection” section.
