These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website.

A distinction is made between the following cookie types and functions:

  • Temporary cookies (also: session cookies):Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online service and closed their browser.
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed.

The interests of users that are used for reach measurement or marketing purposes can also be stored in such a cookie.

5. google tag manager

We use Google Tag Manager on our website. Google Tag Manager is a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").

Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage our website tags via an interface. A tag is a code element that is stored in the source code of the website, for example to control which page or service elements and tools are activated and loaded in which order. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect or store any personal data. The Google Tag Manager merely triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. In some cases, the data is processed on a Google server in the USA. However, the Google Tag Manager cannot access this data.

If you have deactivated at domain or cookie level, this deactivation will remain in place for all tracking tags that have been implemented via Google Tag Manager.

Further detailed information on the Google Tag Manager can be found on the websites https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/ and under https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/index.html under the section "Data that we collect when you use our services".

6. google analytics

Our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by our service provider Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"), with your consent, which you can revoke at any time. Google Analytics uses cookies, which are stored on your computer and enable your use of the website to be analyzed.

The following types of data are processed by Google:

  • Browser type/version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
  • Host name of the accessing computer (IP address)
  • Time of the server request

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. However, by activating IP anonymization on our website, your IP address will be shortened and thus anonymized by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of 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 shortened there.

On our behalf, Google will use the information transmitted to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data described here is your consent, which you may have given for data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR and for data transmission in accordance with Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR in the cookie banner. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future or adjust your selection under data protection settings.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your shortened IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

If you prevent the storage of cookies, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent.

If you call up the Google map service on our website while you are logged into your Google profile, Google can also link this event to your Google profile. If you do not wish to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out of Google before accessing our contact page. Google stores your data and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and personalized presentation of Google Maps. You can object to this data collection by Google.
