1. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. They are data packets that your browser stores on your computer.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies have a longer storage period. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set 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. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication or for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Section 25 (2) No. 2 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG) and Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, time spent on the site, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. This data is assigned to the respective user’s device. No device ID is assigned. Furthermore, we may use Google Analytics to record your mouse movements, scrolling, and clicks, among other things.

The data we send and which is linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 13 months.

The maximum lifespan of Google Analytics cookies is two years. Data whose retention period has expired is automatically deleted once a month.

Demographic characteristics in Google Analytics

This website uses the “demographic characteristics” function. This allows reports to be generated that include information about the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This data comes from Google’s interest-based advertising and from third-party visitor data. This data cannot be traced back to any specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time via the ad settings in your Google account or generally prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data as described above.

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking

This website uses Google Ads from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

We use conversion tracking as part of Google Ads. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are data packets that the internet browser stores on the user’s computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Ads’ customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Ads’ customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) German Telemedia Act (TMG) and Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter ‘reCAPTCHA’) on this website.

3. Plugins and Tools

Font Awesome (local hosting)

We use Font Awesome from the American company Fonticons (307 S. Main St., Suite 202, Bentonville, AR 72712, USA) on our website. The fonts are installed locally, so no data is passed on to the provider Fonticos when you visit our website.

Font Awesome is a web font that was developed specifically for web designers and web developers. It allows us to present content on our website in a more appealing way. This makes it easier for you to navigate our website and understand the content. The icons can sometimes even replace entire words and save space. This is particularly useful when we optimize content specifically for smartphones. These icons are inserted as HTML code instead of images. This allows us to edit the icons with CSS exactly as we want. At the same time, Font Awesome also improves our loading speed because it only uses HTML elements and not icon images. All these advantages help us to make the website even clearer, fresher, and faster for you.

For more information about Font Awesome, please refer to the Font Awesome privacy policy at: https://fontawesome.com/privacy.

Our offer includes the functions of the Google Maps map service.

If you have agreed to the use of Google Maps, your location data—based on the settings of your device—may be transmitted to the map service provider as geocoordinates and displayed as starting coordinates within the integrated Google Maps map. We use the location data exclusively for the purpose of providing the search function and delete it afterwards, unless otherwise specified in this privacy policy.

This allows Facebook to associate your visit to our site with your user account.

YouTube

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the site is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. The operator of the site is Google Ireland Limited (hereinafter “Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode prevents YouTube from storing information about visitors to this website before they watch videos. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This informs the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Furthermore, after a video starts playing, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud. Additional data processing operations may be triggered after a YouTube video starts playing, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online content in an appealing way. If you use YouTube on our site, your consent will be requested. Processing is based on Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) German Telemedia Act (TMG), insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the German Telemedia Act (TMG).

You can revoke your consent at any time by accessing the cookie settings above in Section 1 “Cookie Consent” under “Change”. To do this, deselect your consent under “Allow video services” and then click “Save”.
