On your first visit to our website, you may configure the use of cookies in your browser’s control. If you configure your browser to accept all the necessary cookies to make use of the full service of our website, you will have to give your consent for the use of these cookies. Cookies will not install or launch any programs or other applications on your computer.

Using Cookiebot

Cookiebot is offered by Usercentrics A/S (Havnegrade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark). The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f and c GDPR, as we are obliged to obtain the consent of the data subject for the use of non-essential cookies.

Web analysis

If you have given your consent in the cookiebot window when entering the website, Matomo is used on this website for web analysis purposes. 
Matomo uses cookies that are stored on the user's computer. This enables anonymised usage analysis on our website. Your usage data is collected, stored and processed in anonymised form so that it is not possible to identify you personally. By using Matomo, we aim to record the use of the website and improve your user experience with the help of the data obtained.

You can object to the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website at any time here.

Alternatively, you can use a so-called "Do Not Track" option in most modern browsers, which prevents your user activity from being tracked.

Google Ads | Conversion Tracking

We use Google Marketing Platform services - an offer from Google Ireland Limited (Ireland). This also includes the use of Google Ads and the associated "conversion tracking". When you click on a Google ad, a cookie for conversion tracking is set on your end device. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days. They contain personal data and we use them on the basis of a balancing of interests. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you have clicked on the ad and have been redirected to this page. The information collected with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics. The user can prevent the setting of cookies by changing the settings in their browser software. The user can also deactivate the use of cookies by Google by following the following link and installing the plug-in provided there: www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. 

However, as we have activated IP anonymisation on this website and concluded a corresponding data processing agreement with Google, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

For the transfer of personal data by Google Ireland Limited to Google LLC in the USA, the so-called EU standard contractual clauses are used to ensure an adequate level of data protection. Google LLC is also certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.

Google Ads | Remarketing

Our website uses the Google Ads service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"), provided that you have consented to the use of cookies. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place adverts both in Google's search engine results and in the Google advertising network. Google Ads enables us as advertisers to define certain keywords and target groups in advance, by means of which an advert is only displayed in Google's search engine results if the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the adverts are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords and target groups. The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant adverts on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine.

We also use the remarketing function within the Google Ads service. This function enables us to target advertising by displaying personalised, interest-based advertisements to visitors to our website when they visit other websites in the Google Display Network or use the Google search engine. Google uses cookies to analyse website usage, which forms the basis for the creation of interest-based advertisements. Google stores a cookie in your browser when you visit Google services or websites in the Google advertising network. This cookie is used to record your website visits. The cookie enables both us and Google to track whether you have generated sales, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase, if you have reached our website via an Ads advertisement.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites you have visited. Each time you visit our websites, personal data, including your IP address of the internet connection you are using, is therefore transmitted to Google. This personal data is stored by Google. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on your information technology system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.
Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third-party providers by visiting the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the further information on opt-out mentioned there. It is also possible to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers you use and make the desired settings there.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

For the transfer of personal data by Google Ireland Limited to Google LLC in the USA, the so-called EU standard contractual clauses are used to ensure an adequate level of data protection. Google LLC is also certified in accordance with the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework.
