• transient cookies (see point b)
• persistent cookies (see point c).

b) Transient cookies are erased automatically when you close your browser. In particular they include session cookies.

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer to permit analysis of how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will normally be transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is enabled on this website, Google will truncate your IP address in a member state of the European Union or signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmitting it. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyze your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services connected with web use to the website operator.

(2) The IP address transmitted to Google Analytics by your browser will not be combined with any other data held by Google.

(3) You can configure your browser software to reject cookies, but you are advised that you may not be able to make full use of all of the functions of this website if you do so. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website (including you IP address) from being sent to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser add-on available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the “anonymizeIp()” feature. This truncates IP addresses before they are processed, meaning that they cannot be associated with a specific individual. If this data collected concerning you contains any identifying information, identification is immediately ruled out and the personal data is deleted without delay.

(5) We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve use of our website. We use the statistics obtained to improve our website and make it more relevant for you. The lawful basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

(6) Details of third-party provider: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.
Terms of Service: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html,
privacy overview: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245,
and privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy.

(7) This website also uses Google Analytics for the cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which it does using a user ID. You can disable cross-device analysis of your activity under “My data", “personal data” in your customer account.

(8) This website uses Google conversion tracking (Google AdWords), an analytics service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; “Google”). Google AdWords places a cookie (“conversion cookie”) on your computer if you come to our website from a Google ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If you visit certain of our pages when the cookie is still active, we and Google can see that someone has been redirected to our website by clicking the ad. Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Therefore, cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using conversion cookies is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted to use conversion tracking. AdWords customers are told the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and been redirected to a web page containing a conversion tracking tag. However, they receive no information which would enable users to be personally identified. If you do not wish to participate in tracking activities, you can refuse the relevant cookies, for instance by configuring your browser to reject the automatic placement of cookies in general. You can also disable conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to refuse cookies from the domain “googleadservices.com”.

(1) We currently use the following social media plugins: Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Xing, LinkedIn, YouTube. We use the “two-click solution” for these plugins This means that if you visit our website, no personal data will be passed on to the plugin provider in the first instance. You can view the plugin provider by selecting the box over the initial letter of its name or logo. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with the plugin provider via the button. Only if you enable the selected field by clicking it will the plugin provider be informed that you have accessed the relevant page on our website. The data specified in section 3 of this statement is also sent. In the case of Facebook and Xing, the providers have stated that in Germany the IP address is anonymized immediately. If you enable the plugin, personal data concerning you will be sent to the plugin provider and stored by it (in the USA in the case of US providers). As plugin providers primarily use cookies to collect data, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser’s security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.

(2) We have no influence over the data collected and the processing operations performed, nor do we have knowledge of the full scope of the data collection, the purposes of the processing, or storage periods. We also have no information regarding erasure of data collected by plugin providers.

(3) The plugin provider stores the information it collects about you as a user profile, which it uses for advertising and market research purposes and/or to tailor its website to the needs of users. In particular, this analysis is carried out (even for users who are not logged in) to serve relevant advertising and in order to inform other social network users of your activities on our website. You have the right to opt out of the creation of these user profiles, but to exercise this right you must refer to the plugin provider. We provide the plugins to enable you to interact with the social networks and other users so that we can improve our website and make it more interesting for you as a user. The lawful basis for the use of plugins is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

(4) The data will be passed on regardless of whether or not you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged into that account. If you are logged in to an account with the plugin provider, the data collected on our website will be directly linked with that account. If once the button is activated you click on it and e.g. link to the page, the plugin provider will also store this information in your user account and inform your contacts publicly. We recommend that you log out regularly after using social networks, especially before activating a button, as this will prevent your actions being linked to your profile with the plugin provider.
