The data is not used to personally identify the website user and is not merged with other data. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is not shared with third parties.

The following privacy guarantees are in place:

You can withdraw your consent to Matomo storing and analysing your data at any time by clicking on the link below. An opt-out cookie will then be placed on your device, which will remain valid for two years. As a result, Matomo will not collect any session data.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to display our content correctly and in a graphically appealing manner across browsers, we use “Google Web Fonts” from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”) on this website to display fonts.

Further information about Google Web Fonts is available at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s privacy statement at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Embedded YouTube Videos

We embed YouTube videos on our site. The operator of these plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (hereinafter “YouTube”). YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter “Google”). When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection is made to the YouTube servers. This tells YouTube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube may associate your browsing behaviour with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account first.

When a YouTube video is launched, the provider uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour.

Further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by YouTube can be found in the provider’s data protection declarations, where you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and on setting options to protect your privacy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

The provider does not currently offer an easy way to opt out or block data transmission. If you wish to prevent tracking of your activities on our website, please use the cookie consent tool to revoke your consent to the relevant cookie category or to all technically unnecessary cookies and data transfers.

Social Plugins

Type and purpose of processing:

We offer you the opportunity to use so-called “social media buttons” on our website. In order to protect your data, we use the “Shariff” solution. This means that these buttons are only integrated on the website as a graphic that contains a link to the corresponding website of the button provider. By clicking on the graphic, you will be redirected to the services of the respective provider. Only then will your data be sent to the respective suppliers. If you do not click on the graphic, there will be no exchange between you and the social media button providers. For information about the collection and use of your information on social networks, please refer to the social network’s terms of use. You can find out more about the Shariff solution here: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google Conversion Tracking. The company that operates the Google AdWords service is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you visit our website through an ad served by Google, Google AdWords will place a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad served by Google.

If the user visits certain pages on our site and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can tell that the user clicked on the ad and was directed to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across AdWords advertisers’ websites. The information collected by the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for advertisers who have opted into conversion tracking. Advertisers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they will not receive any personally identifiable information about those users.

For more information about Google’s data practices, please see the Google Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy. You can also change your privacy preferences in the Google Privacy Centre.

Withdrawal of your consent:

The provider does not currently offer an easy way to opt out or block data transmission. If you wish to prevent tracking of your activities on our website, please use the Cookie Consent tool to revoke your consent for the relevant cookie category or for all technically unnecessary cookies and data transfers. In this case, however, you may not be able to use our website at all or only to a limited extent.
