 4. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that are automatically generated by your browser and then saved on your terminal (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Cookies do not do any damage on your terminal, do not contain any viruses, trojans, or other malware.

The cookie is used to store information generated in the context of the specific terminal being used. However, this does not mean that we gain any knowledge regarding your identity.

Cookies are primarily used to make it more pleasant for you to search our website. We therefore use so-called session cookies to detect when you have already visited individual pages of our website. These session cookies are automatically deleted once you leave our website.

In addition to this, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user friendliness. These are stored on your terminal for a specified period of time. If you then visit our website again to use our services, the system automatically detects that you have already visited us and what entries and settings you have made, so that you do not have to enter all this information again.

We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you (see section 5). These cookies enable us to automatically detect that you have already visited our website when you visit it again. They are automatically deleted after a defined time period.

The data processed by the cookies is required for the stated purposes in order to safeguard our legitimate interests, as well as those of third parties pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation).

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can also configure your browser in such a way that no cookies are saved on your computer or that a message always appears before a new cookie is created.

The tracking measures listed in the following and employed by us are performed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. GDPR (EU General Data Protection Regulation). Our objective with the tracking measures we employ is to secure a requirements-based design and continuous optimization of our website.

b) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

We also use Google conversion tracking to statistically record the use of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our online content. Here, Google AdWords places a cookie (see section 4) on your computer, insofar as you accessed our website via a Google ad.

These cookies lapse after 30 days and are not used for personal identification purposes. If the user visits certain pages of the AdWords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet lapsed, Google and the customer can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and was forwarded to this page.

Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to produce conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have chosen to go with conversion tracking. The AdWords customers learn the total number of users that have clicked on their ad and were forwarded to a site employing a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that they could use to personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also decline the cookie required for this – for example via a browser setting which generally deactivates automatic cookie acceptance.You can permanently deactivate cookies for ads preferences through a corresponding setting of your browser software or by downloading and installing the browser plug-in via the following link: www.googleadservices.com.

7. Youtube-Videos

We have incorporated YouTube videos into our website which are stored on www.youtube.com and can be played directly from our website.

YouTube is an Internet video portal that allows video publishers to post video clips and other users to view, rate and comment on them. YouTube is operated by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Further information about YouTube can be found at www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/.

The YouTube videos embedded on our website are all embedded in "extended data protection mode". This results in a connection to the Google Double-Click network. By playing the video, data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube. We have no influence on the transmitted data transfer.

The transmission of data to YouTube takes place regardless of whether YouTube provides you with a user account through which you are logged in to or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to YouTube, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want your profile to be assigned to YouTube, you must log out before activating the button.

We would like to point out that we have no influence on the collected data and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purpose of processing or the storage period. We also have no precise information regarding the deletion of your data by YouTube.

9. Social Media Presence

a) Data Processing by Social Networks

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use can be found in subsection e. Social networks such as Facebook, Google+, etc. can comprehensively analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). By visiting our social media presences, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered.

If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can associate this visit with your user account. Your personal data may also be collected even if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, data collection may occur, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by capturing your IP address.

With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. This way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you both inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or have been logged in.

Please note that we cannot fully trace all processing processes on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

b) Legal Basis

Our social media presence aims to ensure the most comprehensive presence on the Internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be indicated by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR).

c) Responsible Party and Assertion of Rights

When you visit one of our social media presences (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).

Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have comprehensive influence over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider.

d) Storage Duration

The data collected directly by us through the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage ceases to exist, you request us to delete them, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.

We do not have any influence on the storage duration of your data, which is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of the social networks (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

e) Specific Social Networks
