We use cookies, analysis tools, plugins, and other third-party elements on our website. Cookies are small files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.). Cookies do not harm your device, nor do they contain viruses, trojans, or other harmful software. Cookies store information related to the specific device used. However, this does not mean we can directly identify you. Analysis tools evaluate user behavior on the website and enable the operator to record and assess visits to their own website. Plugins and other third-party elements are used to integrate content or other services from such providers into a website.
Our use of required cookies and similar tools is aimed at providing website services and making our offering more convenient for you. We process your personal data collected by these cookies and tools based on our legitimate interest in presenting our organization and the services offered on the website you have accessed, as well as to enhance user-friendliness. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6(1) Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Most browsers automatically accept these cookies and similar tools. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies or similar tools are stored on your computer or a notification always appears before any such cookie or tool is placed. Completely disabling them may mean the website does not display correctly or that you cannot use all the functions of our website. You can find specific function descriptions, potential data recipients, information about any data transfer to a third country, and the storage periods in the following notes on each required cookie or similar tool and the associated processing operations.
We use cookies to obtain and manage website users’ consent for data processing. This processing is necessary for us to fulfill a legal obligation (Art. 6(1) Sentence 1 lit. c GDPR). Using cookies, the following data are processed:

We use the third-party cookies, analysis tools, plugins, and other third-party elements to ensure the design of our website meets users’ needs and to continuously optimize it. In addition, we use tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offering for you.

For the purpose of user-focused design and continuous optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter “Google”).
Google Analytics uses cookies to enable analysis of your use of our websites. The information generated by these cookies about your website usage is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
With Google Analytics 4, IP anonymization is activated by default. Because of IP anonymization, Google truncates your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to Google in the USA and truncated there. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data.
During your website visit, your user behavior is recorded as “events” (e.g., scrolls, page views, clicks, session start, page views).
The following data are collected:
The information is used to evaluate use of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to the use of the website and the internet for market research and user-focused website design.
If data are processed outside the EU/EEA and do not meet the European standard for data protection, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to ensure an adequate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is headquartered in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by U.S. authorities to data stored by Google cannot be excluded. From a data protection perspective, the USA is currently considered a third country. You do not have the same rights there as under EU/EEA law, and in some circumstances you may not have legal remedies against access by authorities. The transfer of your data to the USA takes place on the basis of Art. 49a GDPR.
The data we send that are linked to cookies are automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached are automatically deleted once a month.
For more information on the terms of use of Google Analytics and data privacy at Google, see https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/terms/de/ and https://policies.google.com/?hl=de.
We use Google Tag Manager (hereinafter “Tag Manager”) from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter “Google”). Tag Manager is a tool that helps globally organize website tags. Tags are small snippets of code generated by analytics tools (e.g., Google Analytics).
Tag Manager itself does not set cookies. It simply serves as a management tool for data generated by other services. For details on the data provided by these tools, please see the corresponding notes in this privacy notice.
A transfer of data to Google cannot be excluded. Nor can a transfer of data to companies based in the USA be excluded. Likewise, U.S. authorities may be able to access data stored by Google, even if they are on servers located in the EU.
If data are processed outside the EU/EEA and do not meet the European standard for data protection, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to ensure an adequate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is headquartered in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by U.S. authorities to data stored by Google cannot be excluded. The USA is currently regarded as a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as in the EU/EEA. You may not have any legal remedies against governmental access.
For the storage duration of data processed with Tag Manager, please refer to the notes on the respective analytics tools in this privacy notice.
For more information on data protection, please see Google’s privacy notices at https://safety.google/intl/de_de/security-privacy/.
We use social plugins from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; hereinafter “YouTube”) on our website to embed videos that supplement its content. YouTube cookies are only used with your explicit consent on the basis of Art. 6(1) Sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. You can withdraw your consent at any time with future effect. To do so, you can change your settings via the relevant button under each video. Failure to grant consent or withdrawing consent may mean you are unable to view the videos.
These plugins are embedded using what is known as the “two-click” method to best protect visitors to our website. This means that when you load the webpage, your personal data (in particular your IP address) is not automatically transferred to YouTube. Instead, you must first activate the embedded “buttons” and videos by clicking on them. By doing so, you consent to a connection being established to the YouTube servers, and data being transmitted.
We also use the extended data protection mode with “youtube-nocookie” to transmit as little data as possible. Google uses the collected data for its own purposes. If you are logged in to Google at the same time, this information is assigned to your YouTube member account. You can prevent this by logging out of your member account before visiting our website.
Information is also transferred to the parent company Google Inc. in the USA, as well as other Google entities and Google partners outside the EU. Google is certified under the Data Privacy Framework, meaning that there is an adequacy decision by the European Commission under Art. 45(1) GDPR for transfers to Google in the USA. You can find YouTube’s privacy policy and terms of use at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de
We use the Google Ads tool on our website, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, a subsidiary of Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google").
Google Ads allows us to display advertisements in the Google search engine or on third-party websites when users enter specific search terms on Google (keyword targeting). In addition, targeted advertising can be shown based on user data available to Google (e.g. location data and interests) (audience targeting). As the website operator, we can evaluate this data quantitatively, for example by analyzing which search terms triggered the display of our advertisements and how many resulted in clicks.
In the process, cookies may be set and your IP address may be processed. It is possible that the processed data will be transferred to the USA. We have no influence on the further processing and use of the data by Google and therefore cannot assume any responsibility for this. Google is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework, meaning that an adequacy decision by the EU exists for the transfer of personal data to Google in the USA.
