Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They may be stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow certain services from third-party companies to be integrated within websites (e.g., cookies for payment service providers).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart or video display functions). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies necessary for electronic communication, for the provision of certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart), or for optimizing the website (e.g., audience measurement cookies), are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

  • Your consent(s) or revocation of consent(s)

  • Information about your browser
  • Information about your terminal device

The use of Usercentrics is based on our legal obligation to obtain the necessary consents for the use of certain technologies (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Meta Pixel (formerly Facebook Pixel)

This website uses the visitor action pixel from Meta for conversion measurement. The provider of this service is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland. According to Meta, however, the collected data is also transmitted to the USA and other third countries.

This tool allows the behavior of site visitors to be tracked after they have been redirected to the provider's website by clicking on a Meta ad. This makes it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of Meta advertisements for statistical and market research purposes and to optimize future advertising strategies.

The data collected is anonymous to us as operators of this website; we cannot draw any conclusions about the identity of users. However, the data is stored and processed by Meta, so a connection to the respective user profile is possible, and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Meta’s data usage policy:
https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/

This may enable Meta to place ads on Meta platforms (such as Facebook and Instagram) as well as outside of them. We as website operators have no influence on this use of data.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Where personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Meta, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). Joint responsibility is limited solely to the collection of data and its transmission to Meta. The subsequent processing by Meta is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations jointly incumbent upon us have been set out in an agreement on joint processing. The wording of the agreement can be found here:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum

According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing the privacy information when using the Meta tool and for the secure implementation of the tool on our website in accordance with data protection law. Meta is responsible for the data security of the Meta products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g., access requests) directly with Meta. If you assert data subject rights with us, we are obliged to forward them to Meta.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here:
https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum
https://www.facebook.com/help/566994660333381

To do so, you must be logged in to Facebook.

If you do not have a Facebook or Instagram account, you can deactivate usage-based advertising from Meta on the website of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance:

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of your data, email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time—for example, via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe or the purpose ceases to apply. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data in the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and not combined with other data. This serves your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest as defined in Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
