Use of cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or by the internet browser on the user’s computer system. Cookies do not contain any programs and cannot place any malicious code on your computer. When a user accesses a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s 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. Our cookies do not contain any personal data, so your privacy is protected. Depending on the respective type of cookie and the possibility of assigning a cookie to an IP address, it is possible to establish a personal reference to the user. We do not make such an assignment or IP addresses are anonymised immediately in order to exclude such an assignment. If cookies are used that allow personal reference, we obtain your consent to such use within the framework of a cookie banner (see objection and removal option).

Analysis cookies

  • Use of website functions such as forms
  • Visiting time
  • Entered search terms
  • Number of sessions
  • Origin of the visitors
  • Bounce rate
  • Pages per session
  • Browser and operating system

The data about users collected in this way is anonymised by technical precautions. It is then no longer possible to allocate the data to the calling user.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using analysis cookies is, insofar as the possibility of establishing a personal reference to the user exists, in the case of consent of the user, Art. 6. (1) GDPR. If analysis cookies are used to create pseudonymous evaluations, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (protection of legitimate interests) or § (15) 3 Digital Services Act (DDG).

 

Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies are cookies that are not provided by our web servers but by third-party providers. This includes, for example, the integration of the “Like” button. When this is clicked, Facebook places its “own” cookie in the user’s browser. Third-party cookies can never be searched and/or evaluated by us.

The third-party providers are solely responsible for the use of such cookies; there is no possibility for us to influence their use and processing.

 

Data deletion and storage period

Cookies are stored on the respective end device of the user (smart device/PC) and transmitted from there to our websites. A distinction is made between so-called permanent cookies and session cookies. Session cookies are stored for the duration of a browser session and deleted when the browser is closed. Permanent cookies are not deleted when the respective browser session is closed, but are stored on the user’s end device for a longer period of time.

 

Possibility of objection and removal

When calling up our website, users are informed by an information banner about the use of cookies and referred to this data protection declaration (hereinafter also referred to as “cookie banner”). The cookie banner is also used to obtain the user’s consent to the processing of personal data used in this context.

You can delete cookies that have already been saved at any time. This can also be done automatically.

Web analysis

In order to optimise our websites and adapt them to the changing habits and technical requirements of our users, we use tools for so-called web analysis.

For this purpose, the collected data is aggregated, i.e. combined into larger units.

We can adapt the design of pages or optimise content if, for example, we find that a relevant proportion of visitors are using new technologies or cannot find an existing piece of information or find it difficult to find.

We carry out the following analyses or use the following web analysis tools on our web and online offers:

Log data analysis

Log data is used for analysis purposes exclusively on an anonymous basis; in particular, it is not linked to personal data of the user and/or to an IP address or a cookie. Such an analysis of log data is thus not subject to the data protection provisions of the GDPR.
