8. Cookies
Use of Cookies
Information is collected and stored on our website by the use of so-called browser cookies.
What are cookies?
These are small text data that are saved on your data carrier and that store certain settings and data for exchange with our system over your browser. A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie data were sent, as well as information about the age of the cookie and an alpha-numerical identifier.
Why do we use cookies?
Cookies allow our systems to recognise the user’s device and to make any defaults available immediately. A cookie is transferred to the hard drive of a user’s computer as soon as the user accesses the platform. Cookies help us to improve our website and to be able to offer you a better service that is more tailor-made for you. They enable us to recognise your computer or your (mobile) device, when you return to our website and thereby:
- to store information about your preferred activities on the website and hence to adapt our website to your individual interests.
- to speed up the processing of your enquiries.
We work together with services of third-parties who support us in making the internet range and the website more interesting for you. For this reason, cookies from these partner companies (third-party providers) are also saved onto your hard drive when you visit the website. These are cookies that are erased automatically after the time specified.
A list of the cookies we place is included in the following table:

Can I decide on the use of the cookies?
If you do not want browser cookies to be used, you may select browser settings that do no allow cookies to be stored. Please be aware that, should you do so, you will only be able to use our website to a limited extent or not at all. If you only wish to accept our own cookies and not those of our service providers and partners, you may select the setting “Block cookies of third-party providers” in your browser. We accept no liability for the use of third-party cookies.
9. Integration of services and contents of third parties
Our website uses the contents and services of other providers. These are, for example, services that help us to make the website more interesting. To enable these data to be retrieved and presented in the user’s browser, the transfer of the IP address is compulsory. The provider (referred to below as “third-party provider”) therefore recognises the IP address of the current user.Although we endeavour only to use third-party providers that only need the IP address to be able to deliver contents, we have no influence on whether the IP address may possibly be stored. In this case, this process serves statistical purposes, among other things.
Should we become aware that the IP address is saved, we will inform you of this.
Use of Google Analytics
Our website uses the functionality of the web analysis tool Google Analytics. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses “cookies”. These are small text files that your web browser saves onto your end device and which enable an analysis to be made of the use of the website. By means of cookies, information generated by your use of our website is forwarded to a server of Google and saved there. The location of the server is normally the USA.
Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Article 6, Para. 1(f) of the GDPR. As operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the analysis of the user behaviour for the purpose of optimising our website and advertising.
We use Google Analytics in connection with the IP anonymisation functionality. This ensures that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. There may be exceptional cases, where Google transfers the full IP address to a server in the USA and truncates it there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on the website activities and to provide us with further services associated with the use of the website and the internet. The IP address transmitted by Google Analytics is not merged with other data of Google
The storage of cookies by your web browser can be prevented. This may, however, limit some functions of our website. You may still prevent the collection of data on your website usage, including your IP address together with subsequent processing by Google. You can do this by downloading and installing the browser plugin, accessible by clicking on the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en
Details of the handling of user data by Google Analytics can be found in Google’s Privacy Policy at:
https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en
We have entered into a contract with Google on the contracted processing to ensure full compliance with the legal data protection provisions.
Our website uses the Google Analytics “demographics feature” function. This allows reports to be produced that contain statements on the age, gender and interests of the web page visitors.
These data originate from interest-based advertising by Google as well as visitor data by third-party providers. It is not possible to assign the data to a particular person. You can deactivate this function at any time. You can do this via the ad settings in your Google account, or by generally prohibiting the collection of your data by Google Analytics as outlined in the section “Objection to Data Collection”.
Alternatively, you can also suppress capture by Google Analytics by placing a so-called "opt-out cookie" by clicking HERE. If you delete the cookies in your browser, you will need to click on this link again.

Your personal data may be disclosed as described below.The hosting of the website is carried out by an external service provider in Germany.
