If you use functionalities of our website that require the entry of personal data, by entering your data you give your consent that we may use your data electronically, by post or by telephone for the purpose for which you entered it.

You are also entitled to the right of revocation in this respect.

If you revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data or to the transmission of information messages, all your personal data will be irrevocably deleted, providing there is no legal necessity or a legitimate interest to process this data further.

Automatically generated data

Every time our homepage is visited and every time files provided by our web server are accessed, certain technical data are stored. However, such storage is only carried out in pseudonymous (indirectly personal) format. It is therefore not possible for us to determine the identity of any person from this data. The following data are logged: IP address of the accessing computer, file name of the accessed file(s), date and time of the access, transferred data volume, status message regarding the access and information about the used web browser. The storage of this data serves to ensure the security of our website and to be able to recognize and pursue attacks on our website or its misuse.

Cookies

Our website uses "cookies" to provide its functionalities. These are small data elements (files) that are stored by your browser on the end device that you use to access our site. The information that a cookie contains is determined by the web server and then stored on your computer when you access our website. The web server assigns a lifetime to these cookies, which means that the cookies are deleted from your terminal device after this lifetime has expired. In your browser software, you can also set your browser software so that cookies are always deleted even if you close your browser.

Cookies are necessary in order to be able to clearly identify the visits to / use of our websites, which is necessary for the provision of certain functions, such as the login function in particular. However, we do not use cookies to monitor your surfing behaviour or to display targeted advertising.

If you do not want our website to store cookies on your device, you can set your browser settings to prevent storage. Please refer to the user manual of your browser software to find out how to disable the use of cookies. However, please bear in mind that you may no longer be able to use certain functions of our website.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics. This is a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). This analysis service also uses "cookies", i.e. small files which are stored on the computer and which enable an analysis of the use of our website. Information on the use of our website, which is collected using cookies, is used to evaluate the general use of the website, to enable us to compile reports on website activities and thus to be able to further optimise our website and to provide other services associated with website and internet use. The information generated by Google Analytics with the help of cookies about the use of the website - including the anonymised IP address - is transmitted to a server of Google Inc. in the USA.

Anonymization is achieved by removing the last eight bits of the IP address, which makes it impossible to clearly assign the determined data to a specific IP address. This information is transmitted to authorities or third parties if this transmission is required by law or if third parties are acting as service providers on behalf of Google. However, it is possible to prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting the appropriate settings in the browser. However, if the browser settings prevent the storage of cookies, it may be that certain functions of our website are no longer available. By using our website, you agree to the use of Google Analytics. Further information about Google Analytics can be found at: http://www.google.at/intl/de/analytics.

Information about Google's privacy policy can be found at: http://www.google.de/policies/privacy. Here you will find ways to prevent the use of Google Analytics and the associated data transfer to Google: https://tools.google.com/dlpag... AdWords

This website uses Google AdWords, an analysis service of Google Inc. and the Conversion Tracking within Google AdWords. Google AdWords places a conversion tracking cookie on your computer's hard drive when you click on an ad placed by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages on our website, both Google and we can determine that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. The information obtained through conversion cookies is used to compile statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. These statistics tell us the total number of users who clicked on the ad placed by Google and were redirected to a webpage with a conversion tracking tag.
In addition to Conversion Tracking, we also use the remarketing or "similar target groups" function. With Google's remarketing function we are able to reach users who have already visited our website. This enables us to offer our advertising to users of this website who are already interested in our products or services on other websites of the Display Network (see below). AdWords also identifies common interests and characteristics of users of our website based on user behaviour on websites in Google's advertising network ("Display Network") over the last 30 days and using contextual search engine technology. AdWords then uses this information to find new potential customers for marketing purposes whose interests and characteristics are similar to those of users of our website. The targeted remarketing takes place through the combined use of cookies, such as Google Analytics cookies and Google DoubleClick cookies, in the browsers of website users.
Should you not wish to be included in the tracking, you can object to this use by preventing the installation of cookies through an appropriate setting in your browser software (deactivation option). Or you can follow the following link and install the plug-in provided there: www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. You can also disable the use of cookies by third parties by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative's disable page at www.networkadvertising.org/cho. and implementing the opt-out there.

In addition, the information in the previous section "Google Analytics" also applies to Google AdWords.

Further information about Google AdWords can be found under these links: www.google.com/privacy/ads/ and www.google.de/policies/technol... Networks (Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest)

On our website there are references (links) to external social networks such as Facebook ("Social Plugins"). The functions assigned to the links, in particular the transmission of information and user data, are not automatically activated just by visiting our website, but are activated by clicking on the links. By clicking on these links, the plugins of the corresponding networks are activated and your browser establishes a direct connection with their servers.

By clicking on the links while visiting our website, your user data may be transmitted to the corresponding network and processed by the network. Should you click on the links while visiting our website and at the same time be logged on to the network via your personal user account, the information about your visit to our website may be transmitted to the network and stored there in connection with your account. In order to prevent the information from being assigned to your account on the relevant network, you must log out of your account before clicking on the link.

Please refer to the data protection notices of the respective social networks for information on the purpose and scope of data collection by the social networks and the further processing and use of your data there as well as your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy. The respective social network is solely responsible for the data processing that starts when you click on the link.
