This website collects a number of general data and information every time a data subject or automated system accesses a website. These general data and information are stored in the log files of the web server. The following information can be collected: the browser types and versions used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (referrer), the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, the date and time of an access to the website, an internet protocol address (IP address), the internet service provider of the accessing system and other similar data and information which serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
The use of this general data and information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the person concerned. This information is rather required in order to deliver the contents of our website correctly, to optimise the contents of the website as well as the advertising for it, to ensure the permanent functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website as well as to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the case of a cyber attack.
This anonymously collected data and information is evaluated statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in the company, in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by an affected person.

1.1 Scope of processing of personal data
We only collect and use personal data of our users as far as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception is made in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

1.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, point (a) of Art. 6 (1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the legal basis for the processing of personal data. Insofar as our processing of your personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract or in connection with a contractually-related relationship, point (b) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR is the legal basis for the data processing. Insofar as we require personal data for compliance with a legal obligation, point (c) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR is the legal basis for the data processing. Further to this, point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR shall be taken into consideration when the processing of personal data is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by personal interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data.

1.3 Erasure of data and period of storage
We shall always erase or block personal data of the concerned person as soon as the purpose of its storage is over. Further, a storage may continue beyond this stage if legal requirements to which we are subject dictate that this must occur due to EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which we are subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the mentioned regulations expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract. .

2.1 Description and scope of data processing
Each time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected:
– Information about the browser type and version used
– The operating system of the user
– The Internet service provider of the user
– The IP address of the user
– Date and time of access
– Information on the referrer website from where access to our website took place
– Websites that are called up by the user’s system via our website
– The log files contain IP addresses or other data that allow an assignment to a user. This might be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website or the link to the website to which the user switches contains personal data.
– The data is also stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2.2 Legal basis for the data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is point (f) Art. 6 (1) GDPR.

2.3 Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with point (f) Art. 6 (1) GDPR. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

2.4 Period of storage
The data will be erased as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose of their collection. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. In the case of data storage in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

2.5 Withdrawal of consent and objecting to processing
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

These websites use cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters which can be used to assign websites and servers to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified by means of the unique cookie ID.
The use of cookies enables the users of this website to provide more user-friendly services, which would not be possible without the setting of cookies.
By using cookies, the information and services on our website can be optimised in the interest of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter his or her access data again each time he or she visits the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by selecting the corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the person concerned deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

The data controller for processing has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection and evaluation of data on the behavior of visitors on websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the website from which a person concerned came to a website (referrer), which sub-pages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and for cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising. The operating company of the Google Analytics component is

Google Inc
1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy
Mountain View
CA 94043-1351, USA.

The data controller for processing uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection is shortened by Google and made anonymous if our websites are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state that is a party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website in order to compile online reports for us which show the activities on our website and to provide further services in connection with the use of our website.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the data controller for processing and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is called up, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. Within the scope of this technical procedure, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently to enable commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the time of access, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the person concerned. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the opportunity to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and relating to the use of this website, as well as to the processing of this data by Google, and to prevent such processing. To do this, the person concerned must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction. If the data subject’s information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the Browser Add-On in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the person concerned or another person within his or her sphere of control, the browser add-on may be reinstalled or reactivated.

Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

The data controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to display ads in Google’s search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords allows an advertiser to set pre-defined keywords that will display an ad in Google’s search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-related search result. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed to topic-related web pages by means of an automatic algorithm and in accordance with the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of the Google AdWords services is

Google Inc
1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy
Mountain View
CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to advertise our website by displaying interest-relevant advertisements on the websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.
If a person concerned reaches our website via a Google advertisement, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the information technology system of the person concerned by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and does not serve to identify the person concerned. If the cookie has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping cart from an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables us and Google to track whether a person who has reached our website via an AdWords ad has generated sales, i.e. whether he or she has made or abandoned a purchase.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are in turn used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive any information from Google that could be used to identify the person concerned.
The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the person concerned. Whenever a person visits our websites, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.
The person concerned can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the opportunity to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the person concerned must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers he or she uses and make the desired settings there.
