Use of cookies

Cookies are used on this website. Cookies are data which are created by your browser when you visit a website and are stored locally on your terminal device. Information is stored in a cookie which is dependent on the terminal device you use. This does not mean that this facilitates direct knowledge of your identity.

Cookies do not in principle cause any damage. They do not transfer viruses and do not read out any fixed disk content or email addresses. Cookies are used to optimise the user experience and therefore to make the visit to this website more pleasant. Two types of cookies are used for the original operation of the website: session cookies and temporary cookies. Session cookies are used to recognise which pages of this website you have already visited. They are automatically deleted when you leave the site. Temporary cookies are stored on your terminal device for a certain fixed period. If you visit this website at a later date, your browser (if you also used it before) sends the information stored in the cookie back to this website. This enables individual information which has been adjusted to your needs, in particular which entries and settings have been made, to be displayed so as to avoid having to enter it again. Further cookies may be set by third providers. In this respect we refer to the separate description further down on the programs and plug-ins used.

Google Maps

We use Google Maps (Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to be able to offer you interactive maps with the stated site directly on the website in a convenient and visually appealing manner.

On selecting our website Google receives the information that you have selected the corresponding URL of our website with the map function. In addition, the data listed in section 1) of this data protection policy are transferred. The data are transferred in any case irrespective of whether you have a Google user account or are logged in via this account. If you have logged in with a Google user account, Google can make an assignment to it. Google processes your data and creates profiles to improve maps and also in particular to offer advertising and conduct market research. You have a right to object to this type of use of your data, whereby you must get in touch with Google directly in this respect.

The legal foundation for data processing is Art. 6 (1) S. 1 Letter. f GDPR. The legitimate interest is derived from the listed purposes of data collection.

For more detailed information on data processing by Google and possible settings, please refer to Google’s data protection policies at http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Google LLC is certified for the US-European data protection treaty “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with the level of data protection in the EU. For more detailed information, please refer to https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Google web fonts

We use the web fonts service on this website which is provided by Google (Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) in order to design the font in a uniform and visually appealing manner.

The selected font is loaded and incorporated externally by Google servers. Through the connection between your internet browser and servers of Google LLC. data of your site visit are automatically collected and passed on to Google LLC.

For more detailed information on data processing by Google and possible settings, please refer to Google’s data protection policies at http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

YouTube videos

YouTube videos are integrated into our website and can be played directly from our pages. These videos are integrated in "extended data protection mode", which means that no data about you as a user is transmitted to YouTube unless you start the videos. Data is only transmitted, as described below, when you play the videos. We have no influence on this transmission. The legal basis for displaying these videos is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR, which means that videos are only integrated with your consent.

When you visit our website, YouTube is informed that you have visited the relevant subpage of our website. In addition, the aforementioned basic data such as your IP address and the time of your visit will be transmitted, regardless of whether you have a YouTube account and are logged in or not. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be assigned directly to your account. To avoid a link to your YouTube profile, you must log out before activating the button. YouTube uses your data to create user profiles that are used for advertising purposes, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. This analysis takes place even if you are not logged in, in order to deliver targeted advertising and to inform other users of the network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact YouTube to exercise this right.

The information collected is stored on Google servers, also in the USA. The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (successor to the "Privacy Shield"). The adequacy decision can now serve as the basis for data transfers to certified organizations in the USA. Google is certified accordingly. We have also concluded so-called standard contractual clauses with Google to ensure an adequate level of data protection in third countries.

Further details about the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube can be found in their privacy policy. There you will also find additional information about your rights and options to protect your privacy at:
