10. Use of Cookies
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies (e.g., pixel tags). Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and enable the analysis of your use of the website.
Types of Cookies: We use both technically necessary cookies that are required for the operation of the website and analytics and marketing cookies that help us understand user behavior and improve our offerings. We require your consent to use analytics and marketing cookies.
Cookie Settings: You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings or by modifying the cookie settings on our website. Please note that if you disable cookies, you may not be able to use all the features of our website.
11. Google Analytics
Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze your use of our website. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
IP Anonymization: We have activated IP anonymization on this website. This means that your IP address is shortened 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. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator.
Objection to Data Collection: You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by setting an opt-out cookie, which prevents your data from being collected during future visits to this website. Alternatively, you can install a browser plugin to prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data.
Data Processing Agreement: We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
12. Integration of Third-Party Services and Content
We integrate content and services from third-party providers on our website, e.g., videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds, or graphics from other websites. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers") perceive the IP address of the users. Without the IP address, they would not be able to send the content to the user's browser. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content.
Purpose and Scope of Data Collection: We make every effort to only use content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. However, we have no control over whether the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g., for statistical purposes. As far as we know, we inform users about this.
13. Automated Decision-Making and Profiling
Automated decision-making or profiling as defined in Article 22 of the GDPR does not take place. Should such processing be implemented in the future, we will inform you separately and, where necessary, obtain your consent.
