Cookies for analysis and marketing purposes

You may change your settings for cookies used on our website in the ‘Cookie settings’ section located in the website’s footer. You can manage your consent status for individual cookies and entire categories there. Unless otherwise stated, the legal basis for processing is your consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) a) GDPR. Further details on the services integrated on our website are provided in the following.

Web analysis by Google Analytics with anonymisation function

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’, on our website. Google Analytics uses so-called cookies; these are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of how you use the website.

The information collected by the cookies, for example, the time, place and frequency of your website visits, including your IP address, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

On our website, we use Google Analytics with the suffix ‘_gat._anonymizeIp’. In this case, your IP address will be truncated by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other countries that are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thereby anonymised.

Google will use this information to evaluate how you use our website, to compile reports on website activities for us, and to provide further services connected with the use of the website and the Internet. Google will also pass this information on to third parties if necessary, insofar as this is legally stipulated or insofar as third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

Google claims that it will not link your IP address with other Google data under any circumstances. You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; in this case, however, we must point out that not all functions of this website may be available to you to their full extent.

Google also offers a deactivation add-on for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over what data is collected by Google on the websites visited by you. The add-on informs Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js) that no information about the website visit should be sent to Google Analytics. However, the Google Analytics deactivation add-on for browsers does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to any other web analysis services used by us. You can find further information on the installation of the browser add-on at this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Google Ads

We also use Google Analytics to analyse data from Double-Click cookies and AdWords for statistical purposes. If you do not wish this to take place, you can disable it through the Ads Preferences Manager (https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/?hl=en).

Web analysis by Facebook Pixel

This website uses the ‘Custom Audiences’ remarketing function of Facebook Inc. (‘Facebook’). The purpose of this function is to display interest-related ads (‘Facebook ads’) to visitors to this website when logged on to the social network Facebook. To this end, the Facebook remarketing tag has been implemented on this website. This tag makes it possible to establish a direct connection to the Facebook servers when the website is accessed. The information that you have visited this website is sent to the Facebook server, and Facebook links this information to your personal Facebook user account. You can find more information on the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights with regard to the above and settings to protect your privacy can be found in Facebook’s Data Policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. Alternatively, you may disable the ‘Custom Audiences’ remarketing function at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads#_=_. You need to be logged into Facebook to do so.

External content

You can change your data processing setting for external content in the cookie settings, which can be found either in the footer of the website or via a privacy button. Some of our website offerings have directly integrated external content, e.g. via iFrames. If you have agreed to this, it means that the providers of this external content can set cookies directly for you and can process data. We do not have any direct influence over this data processing. For more information about this, please refer to the respective data privacy statement issued by the provider of the external content.

Vimeo

This website uses videos. Videos are a great way of easily conveying content in a comprehensible manner. Since it is not powerful enough to just host videos locally, this website uses external video providers. By integrating videos, it is – technically possible – to access the server of the provider Vimeo. We hereby refer you to the provider’s privacy policy for information on how the data from your browser is used in this regard. Vimeo’s Privacy Policy can be found here: vimeo.com/privacy

Vimeo claims to guarantee an appropriate level of data protection.
