Cookies
We use so-called cookies on our website on the basis of legitimate interests. These are small text files that are stored on your end device with the help of the browser. When you visit a website, a cookie may be stored on your operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again.
By means of a cookie, information and offers on our website can be optimized in your interest. Cookies enable us to recognize visitors. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for you to use our website.
Only pseudonymous data is stored in the cookies we use. An identification number is assigned to the cookie when it is activated. Your personal data is not assigned to this identification number. Your name, IP address or similar data that would allow the cookie to be directly assigned to you are not stored in the cookie. Based on the cookie technology, we only receive pseudonymized information.
We use temporary cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to the website. We use this type of cookie to ensure the operation and functionality of our website.
We use security cookies to identify and prevent security risks. For example, we may use these cookies to store information about your web session. This allows us to prevent others from changing your password without your username and password.
Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.
Accepting cookies is not a prerequisite for visiting our website.
Most Internet browsers accept cookies automatically. If you do not want this, you can set up your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. On the website http://www.aboutcookies.org you will find step-by-step instructions on how to control and delete cookies in most browsers.
Google Analytics
Based on our legitimate interests, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google") (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Google uses cookies.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Google uses this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of users is shortened 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 truncated there.
You can prevent the collection and transmission of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de). An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

Use of the website by minors
The websites are aimed at an adult audience. Minors, in particular children under the age of 16, are prohibited from transmitting personal data to us or registering for a service without the consent of their parents or legal guardians. If we discover that such data has been transmitted to us, it will be deleted. The parents (or legal guardian) of the child can contact us and request the deletion or deregistration.
Data security
We take technical and organizational security precautions to protect your personal data against manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons and to ensure the protection of your rights and compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.
The measures taken are intended to guarantee the confidentiality and integrity of your data and to ensure the availability and resilience of our systems and services when processing your data in the long term. They are also intended to ensure the rapid restoration of the availability of your data and access to it in the event of a physical or technical incident.
Our security measures also include the encryption of your data. When your data is transmitted to us, it is encrypted using Transport Layer Security (TLS) / HTTPS encryption. All information that you enter online is transmitted via an encrypted transmission path. This means that this information cannot be viewed by unauthorized third parties at any time.
Our data processing and security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
If you register with us as a user, access to your user account is only possible after entering your personal password. You should always treat payment and access information confidentially and close the browser window when you have finished communicating with us, especially if you share the computer with others.
We also take our own internal data protection seriously. Our employees and the service companies commissioned by us are obliged to maintain confidentiality and to comply with data protection regulations. Furthermore, they are only granted access to personal data to the extent necessary.
Links to websites of other providers
Our websites may contain links to websites of other providers that are not covered by this privacy policy. After clicking on the link, we no longer have any influence on the processing of any data transmitted to the third party by clicking on the link (such as the IP address or the URL on which the link is located), as the behavior of third parties is naturally beyond our control. We can therefore accept no responsibility for the processing of your data by third parties. Insofar as the collection, processing or use of personal data is associated with the use of the websites of other providers, please refer to the data protection notices of the respective providers.
Changes to the privacy policy
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy if necessary. Current status is 09.01.2023.
