Cookies & data protection

We take the issue of the protection of your personal data very seriously, treating any personal data confidentially and according to legal guidelines on data protection as well as this data production document.

Use of this website can be predominantly made without having to input any personal data. In cases where personal information is collected on our pages (e.g. name, address, e-mail address), this is done on a voluntary basis. Data will not be passed on to any third party without your express permission.

This website automatically collects and stores information in server log files which your browser automatically sends to us. These are:

• Browser type / browser version
• Operating system in use
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the connecting computer
• Time of the server enquiry
• This information cannot be tracked back to a specific person. Combining this data with other data sources is not undertaken. We reserve the right to check this data in hindsight, should concrete evidence for illegal use arise.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). For this service we have taken out a data-processing contract with Google.

By using our website, software establishes a connection to the Google servers and data is transmitted to the Google servers in the USA. Google Analytics also implements cookies for storing information about the website user and for analysis of the use of the website by the website user.

This website uses the function “activation of IP anonymisation”. This means Google shortens your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states in the agreement within the European economic area. Only in exceptional cases are full IP addresses transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

According to information released by Google, Google uses the collected data to assess the use of the website in order to create reports about website activity and to offer other services associated with use of the website and Internet use.

Google may occasionally pass this information on to third parties in as much as this is legally prescribed or third parties process this information under contract with Google.
