Cookies

Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behavior) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

• Browser type and browser version

These data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which allows the processing of data to fulfill a contract or for measures preliminary to a contract.

Contact form

Should you send us questions via the contact form, we will collect the data entered on the form, including the contact details you provide, to answer your question and any follow-up questions. We do not share this information without your permission.
We will, therefore, process any data you enter onto the contact form only with your consent per Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Any mandatory statutory provisions, especially those regarding mandatory data retention periods, remain unaffected by this provision.

The input data will only be used for the purpose of using the respective site or service for which you have registered.

Social plugins from Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram 

On our website, we use so-called social plugins (“plugins”) provided by the social networks Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and the microblogging service Twitter. The companies Facebook Inc., Google Inc., Pinterest Inc., Instagram Inc. and Twitter Inc. (“providers”) offer these services.

To safeguard your data privacy, plugins are using the Shariff “one-click for-more-data protection solution” software developed by c’t and Heise Online. (Source and further information: https://www.heise.de/hintergrund/Ein-Shariff-fuer-mehr-Datenschutz-2467514.html)

The Shariff integration allows you to share your favourite web content without compromising your privacy by ensuring that no connection to the Facebook, Google, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram servers is produced when visiting a website page containing such plugins.

Your browser will only make a direct connection to the servers of Facebook, Google, Twitter, Pinterest and Instagram if you actively click on a Share button, thereby giving your deliberate consent to the transmission of personal data. The contents of the respective plugin are then transmitted directly to your browser and linked to the page by the appropriate provider. By linking the plugin, the providers obtain the information that your browser has called up the appropriate page of our website.

If you are logged into one of the social networks, the providers are immediately able to correlate the visit to our website with your profile on the social network. If you interact with the plugins, e.g. by clicking the button, the relevant information is also immediately transmitted directly to one of the providers’ servers and stored there.

The information is also published in the social network or your Twitter account and shown to your contacts there. To learn more about the purpose and extent of data collection by the providers as well as your relevant rights and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to the providers’ data protection information.
