2. Data collection when visiting our website
During the mere informational use of our website, i.e. if you do not register or otherwise
transmit information to us, we only collect data that your browser transmits to our server
(so-called "server log files"). When you call up our website, we collect the following data,
which is technically necessary for us to display the website to you:
Our visited website

other use of the data does not take place. However, we reserve the right to check the server log
files retrospectively if there are concrete indications of illegal use.
3. Cookies
In order to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain
functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored
on your terminal device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser
session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on
your end device and enable us or our partner companies (third-party cookies) to recognize your
browser on your next visit (persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process
certain user information such as browser and location data and IP address values to an
individual extent. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of
time, which may vary depending on the cookie.
If personal data is also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is
carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO either for the execution of the contract
or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO to protect our legitimate interests in the best
possible functionality of the website as well as a customer-friendly and effective design of the

We may work with advertising partners who help us to make our website more interesting for you.
For this purpose, cookies from partner companies are also stored on your hard drive when you
visit our website (third-party cookies). If we cooperate with aforementioned advertising
partners, you will be informed individually and separately about the use of such cookies and the
scope of the information collected in each case within the following paragraphs.
Please note that you can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies
and can decide individually about their acceptance or exclude the acceptance of cookies for
certain cases or in general. Each browser differs in the way it manages cookie settings. This is
described in the help menu of each browser, which explains how you can change your cookie

circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided
that there are no statutory retention obligations to the contrary.
5. Web analytics services
5.1
Google Analytics 4 -
This website uses Google Analytics 4, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon
House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"), which can be used to analyze the use
of websites. When using Google Analytics 4, so-called "cookies" are used as standard. Cookies
are text files that are stored on your terminal device and enable an analysis of your use of a
website. The information collected by cookies about your use of the website (including the IP
address transmitted by your terminal device, shortened by the last digits, see below) is usually
transmitted to a Google server and stored and processed there. This may also result in the
transmission of information to the servers of Google LLC, which is based in the USA, and further
processing of the information there.
When using Google Analytics 4, the IP address transmitted by your terminal device when you use
the website is always collected and processed by default and automatically only in an anonymized
manner, so that a direct personal reference of the collected information is excluded. This
automatic anonymization is carried out by shortening the IP address transmitted by your terminal
device by Google within member states of the European Union (EU) or other contracting states of
the Agreement on the European Economic Area (EEA) by the last digits.
On our behalf, Google uses this and other information to evaluate your use of the website, to
compile reports about your website activities or your usage behavior and to provide us with
other services related to your website and internet usage. In this context, the IP address
transmitted and shortened by your terminal device within the scope of Google Analytics 4 will
not be merged with other data from Google. The data collected in the context of the use of
Google Analytics 4 will be retained for 2 months and then deleted.
Google Analytics 4 also enables the creation of statistics with statements about the age, gender
and interests of website users on the basis of an evaluation of interest-based advertising and
with the involvement of third-party information via a special function known as "demographic
characteristics". This makes it possible to determine and distinguish user groups of the website
for the purpose of targeting marketing measures. However, data collected via the "demographic
characteristics" cannot be assigned to a specific person and thus not to you personally. This
data collected via the "demographic characteristics" function is retained for two months and
then deleted.
All processing described above, in particular the setting of Google Analytics cookies for the
storage and reading of information on the terminal device used by you for the use of the
website, will only take place if you have given us your express consent for this in accordance
with Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. Without your consent, Google Analytics 4 will not be used during
your use of the website. You can revoke your consent once given at any time with effect for the
future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service via the "Cookie Consent
Tool" provided on the website.
As an extension of Google Analytics 4, the Google Signals service can also be used on this
website. With Google Signals, we can have Google create cross-device reports (so-called
"cross-device tracking"). If you have activated "personalized ads" in your Google account
settings and linked your Internet-enabled end devices to your Google account, Google can analyze
usage behavior across devices and create database models based on this if you have given your
consent to the use of Google Analytics 4 in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO. The logins and
device types of all website users who were logged into a Google account and executed a
conversion are taken into account. The data shows, among other things, on which device you
clicked on an ad for the first time and on which device the relevant conversion took place. We
do not receive any personal data from Google in the case of the use of Google Signals, but only
statistics compiled on the basis of Google Signals. You have the option of deactivating the
"personalized ads" function in the settings of your Google account and thus turning off the
cross-device analysis in connection with Google Signals. To do this, follow the instructions on
this page. You can find more information about Google Signals under the
following link.
As an extension of Google Analytics, the "UserIDs" function can also be used on this website. By
assigning individual UserIDs, we can have Google create cross-device reports (so-called
"cross-device tracking"). This means that your usage behavior can also be analyzed across
devices if you have given your corresponding consent to the use of Google Analytics 4 in
accordance with Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO, if you have set up a personal account by registering on
this website and are logged into your personal account on different end devices with your
relevant login data. The data collected in this way shows, among other things, on which end
device you clicked on an ad for the first time and on which end device the relevant conversion
took place.
We have concluded a so called order processing agreement with Google for our use of Google
Analytics 4, which obliges Google to protect the data of our website users and not to pass it on
to third parties. To ensure compliance with the European level of data protection, even in the
event of any transfer of data from the EU or EEA to the USA and possible further processing
there, Google refers to the so-called standard contractual clauses of the European Commission,
which we have contractually agreed with Google. Further legal information on Google Analytics 4,
including a copy of the aforementioned standard contractual clauses, can be found here and on the
following page.
5.2
This website uses the "Google Tag Manager", a service of Google Ireland Limited,
Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: "Google"). The Google Tag Manager
provides a technical basis for bundling various web applications, including tracking and
analysis services, and for calibrating, controlling and attaching conditions to them via a
uniform user interface.
Google Tag Manager itself does not store any information on user devices or read them. The
service also does not perform any independent data analyses. However, the Google Tag Manager
transmits your IP address to Google when you visit a page and may store it there. Also a
transmission to servers of Google LLC. In the USA is possible.
This processing is only carried out if you have given us your express consent to do so in
accordance with Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO. Without this consent, Google Tag Manager will not be used
during your visit to the site. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the
future. To exercise your revocation, please deactivate this service in the "Cookie Consent Tool"
provided on the website. We have concluded an order processing agreement with Google, which
obliges Google to protect the data of our site visitors and not to pass it on to third parties.
For the transfer of data from the EU to the USA, Google invokes so-called standard data
protection clauses of the European Commission, which are intended to ensure compliance with the
European level of data protection in the USA.
You can find further data protection information on Google Tag Manager here.
For privacy-related
services and applications that have been merged in the Google Tag Manager, you will find
separate information in the corresponding sections of this privacy policy.
6. Tools and other
Cookie-Consent-Tool
This website uses a cookie consent tool to obtain effective user consent for cookies and
cookie-based applications that require consent. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users
in the form of an interactive user interface when they access the page, on which consent for
certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking the appropriate box. By
using the tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user
grants the corresponding consent by setting a check mark. This ensures that such cookies are
only set on the respective user's end device if consent has been granted. The tool sets
technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is not
processed in this process.
If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of
storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) f
DSGVO on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific and
user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our
website.
Further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. As the responsible party,
we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies
dependent on the respective user consent. We have concluded an order processing agreement with
the provider, which ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits
unauthorized disclosure to third parties. Further information on the operator and the setting
options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on
our website.

8. Duration of the storage of personal data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined on the basis of the respective legal

you exercise your right to object pursuant to Art. 21(1) DSGVO, unless we can demonstrate
compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and
freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f
DSGVO, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object according to Art. 21 (2)
DSGVO.
Unless otherwise stated in the other information in this statement about specific processing
situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for
the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
