Cookies
Our website uses so-called “cookies” at several locations. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Furthermore, cookies enable our systems to recognize your browser and offer you services. Cookies do not contain personal data.
Use of Google Inc.'s Remarketing or "Similar Audiences" Function
The provider uses the Remarketing or “Similar Audiences” function of Google Inc. (“Google”) on the website. With this function, the provider can address visitors to the website with targeted advertising by displaying personalized, interest-based advertising messages to visitors of the provider’s website when they visit other websites in the Google Display Network. To carry out the analysis of website usage, which forms the basis for creating interest-based advertising, Google uses so-called “cookies.” Google stores a small file with a sequence of numbers in the browsers of the website visitors for this purpose. This number is used to record visits to the website and anonymized data on website usage. No personal data of website visitors is stored. If you subsequently visit another website in the Google Display Network, you may be shown advertisements that are likely to take into account previously accessed product and information areas.
You can permanently disable the use of cookies by Google by following this link and downloading and installing the plug-in provided there: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin?hl=en Alternatively, you can disable the use of third-party cookies by visiting the Network Advertising Initiative deactivation page at https://www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and implementing the opt-out information provided there. For more information on Google Remarketing and Google’s privacy policy, please visit: https://www.google.com/privacy/ads/
Use of Google AdWords Conversion Tracking
We use the online advertising program “Google AdWords” and, as part of Google AdWords, the conversion tracking. Google Conversion Tracking is an analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”).
When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain personal data, and therefore do not serve personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not expired, Google and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no way that cookies can be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers.
The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords 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 with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can object to this usage by preventing the installation of cookies through a corresponding setting of your browser software (deactivation option). You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; 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. You can also prevent the collection of 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: [https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en].
Use of Facebook Plugins
This website uses plugins from the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). When you visit web pages with such a plugin, a connection to Facebook’s servers is established, and the plugin is displayed on the web page by notifying your browser. This sends information to the Facebook server about which of our web pages you have visited. If you are logged into Facebook as a member, Facebook assigns this information to your personal Facebook user account. When using the plugin functions (e.g., clicking the “Like” button, submitting a comment), this information is also assigned to your Facebook account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plugin.
If you do not want Facebook to directly associate the information collected with your Facebook profile, you must either log out of Facebook before visiting our site or use the Facebook provided add-on for your browser at https://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/. This allows you to block the loading of Facebook plugins.
For more information on the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights in this regard, and ways to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy.
Use of the Google "+1" Button
This website uses the “+1” button from the Google Plus social network operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043 USA (“Google”). When you access a web page on our website that contains the “+1” button, a connection is established to Google’s servers in the USA, and the button is displayed on the web page by notifying your browser. Both your IP address and the information about which of our web pages you have visited are transmitted to the Google server. This happens regardless of whether you are registered or logged in with Google Plus. Even for users who are not registered or logged in, transmission occurs. The “+1” button is not used to record your visits to the Internet. Google does not permanently log your browsing history when displaying a “+1” button and does not otherwise analyze your visit to a page with a “+1” button. Google stores data about your visit for about two weeks for system maintenance and troubleshooting purposes. However, this data is not structured by individual profiles, usernames, or URLs and is not forwarded to us.
If you are also a member of Google Plus and logged in to Google Plus during the time you use the plugin, the information collected about your visit to our website will be linked to your Google Plus account and disclosed to other users. Even in the case of interactions possible with the various Google plugins, the corresponding information about you is collected, transmitted to Google, and stored. An overview of the various types of Google plugins can be found here: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins
If you have made your Google Plus profile publicly accessible in the settings of Google Plus, your “+1” may be displayed by Google as indications along with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or in other places on websites and advertisements on the Internet. If you do not want Google to directly associate the information collected with your Google Plus profile, you must log out of Google Plus before visiting our site.
For more information on the collection and use of data by Google, your rights in this regard, and ways to protect your privacy, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: www.google.com/intl/en/+/policy/+1button.html.
You also have the option to prevent the loading of Google plugins by installing corresponding add-ons in your browser.
