(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", text files which are stored on your computer and which allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of the website is normally transferred to a Google server in the USA, and is stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on the website, your IP address will, within Member States of the European Union or other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area, first be abbreviated by Google. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA, and will be abbreviated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information in order to analyse your usage of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide further services to the website provider relating to the usage of the website and the internet.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be combined with other Google data.
(3) You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to inform you that, in this case, you may possibly not be able to fully use all features on this website. Furthermore, you can prevent collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in provided under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp()". As a result, IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form, so that identification of a specific individual can be ruled out. As far as the data collected about you are personally identifiable, this will therefore be excluded immediately, and the personal data will thus be deleted without delay.

(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Twitter. We use the so-called “two- click solution”. This means that no personal data are initially passed on to the plug-in providers when you visit our website. You can identify the plug-in provider by the marking on the box above its initial letter or the logo. We offer you the possibility to communicate directly with the plug-in provider via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it will the plug-in provider receive the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In addition, the data specified in clause 4 of this Policy will be transmitted. By activating the plug-in, personal data are transferred from you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (for US providers, in the USA). As the plug-in provider collects data via cookies in particular, we recommend that you delete all cookies before using the plug-in, using your browser's security settings.
(2) We have no influence on the data collected and data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of data collection, the purposes of processing, or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the data collected by the plug-in provider.
(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses these for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an analysis takes place in particular (also for users not logged in) for the presentation of demand- oriented advertising and in order to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you will have to contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Through the plug-ins, we offer you the possibility of interacting with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of plug-ins is Article 6(1)(1f) GDPR.
(4) The data are transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, your data collected by us will be directly attributed to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider will also store this information in your user account and will publicly communicate it to your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before using the plug-in, as this will allow you to avoid attribution to your profile with the plug-in provider.
(5) For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the privacy policies of these providers as notified below. They will also provide you with further information about your rights in this regard and about setting options to protect your privacy.
