  • Cookies use

We would like to inform you that we only use technical cookies. We do NOT use cookies for analysis marketing purposes. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

When using or setting cookies that contain personal data or affect privacy, we obtain your prior consent through your active behavior by navigating through and over our cookie banner on the website after being informed about the purposes of the cookies used, thereby giving your consent to the setting of cookies.

This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, you can delete cookies that have already been set at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers.

Information about Google services
 

We use various services of Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland on our website.

Through the integration of Google services, Google may collect information (including personal data) and process it. It cannot be ruled out that Google also transmits the information to a server in a third country.

For more information, please see the following link: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/frameworks/

We expressly point out that we cannot influence which data Google actually collects and processes. However, Google states that in principle the following information (including personal data) may be processed, among others:

  • Log data (especially the IP address)
  • Site-related information
  • Unique application numbers
  • Cookies and similar technologies

More detailed information can be found at the following link: https://policies.google.com/privacy/update?hl=de#infocollect

If you are logged into your Google account, Google may add the processed information to your account depending on your account settings and treat it as personal data, cf. in particular https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/partners/ .

Google states the following about this, among other things:

"We may link personal data from one service with information and personal data from other Google services. This makes it easier for you to share content with friends and acquaintances, for example. Depending on your account settings, your activities on other websites and apps may be linked to your personal data to improve Google's services and ads served by Google." (https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/index.html)

Insert and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)

The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, compilation and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website a data subject came to a website from, which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is predominantly used to optimize a website and to analyze the costs and benefits of Internet advertising.

We use the addition "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analysis via Google Analytics. By means of this addition, the IP address of the Internet connection of the person concerned is shortened and anonymized by Google if access to our Internet pages is from a member state of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the flow of visitors to our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us showing the activities on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. By each call of one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis.

As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission calculations.

By means of cookies, personal information, for example the access time, the location from which an access originated and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject, is stored. Each time the data subject visits our website, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical procedure to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as already described above, at any time by means of an appropriate 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 setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to the collection of data generated by Google Analytics and related to the use of this website as well as to the processing of this data by Google and to prevent such processing. For this purpose, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information regarding visits to Internet pages may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as an objection. If the data subject's information technology system is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later point in time, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within the data subject's sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

FRIENDLY CAPTCHA (BOT/SPAM PROTECTION
)

Our website uses the "Friendly Captcha" service (www.friendlycaptcha.com).

This service is offered by Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany.

Friendly Captcha is a novel, privacy-friendly protection solution to make it more difficult for automated programs and scripts (so-called "bots") to use our website.

For this purpose, we have integrated a program code from Friendly Captcha into our website (e.g. for contact forms) so that the end device of the visitor can establish a connection to the servers of Friendly Captcha in order to receive a calculation task from Friendly Captcha. The visitor's terminal solves the calculation task, which takes up certain system resources, and sends the calculation result to our web server. The server contacts the Friendly Captcha server via an interface and receives a response indicating whether the puzzle was solved correctly by the end device. Depending on the result, we can apply security rules to requests via our website and thus, for example, process or reject them.

The data is used exclusively for the protection against spam and bots described above.

Friendly Captcha does not set or read cookies on the visitor's terminal device.

IP addresses are only stored in hashed (one-way encrypted) form and do not allow us and Friendly Captcha to identify an individual.

If personal data is collected, it will be deleted after 30 days at the latest.

The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interests in protecting our website from abusive access by bots, i.e. spam protection and protection against attacks (e.g. mass requests) pursuant to Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO.

For more information about privacy when using Friendly Captcha, please visit. https://friendlycaptcha.com/legal/privacy-end-users/.
