Information on cookies
We make use of cookies on our website. They are small files that your browser automatically creates and are stored on your device when you visit our website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain any viruses, trojan horses or other malware.
The cookie stores information which is created in conjunction with the device that is specifically used in each case. However, this does not mean that we obtain any direct information about your identity through this.
We also make use of temporary cookies to optimise the user-friendliness of our site; they are stored on your device for a fixed period of time. If you visit our site once again in order to make use of our services, the cookie automatically recognises that you have already been to our site and recalls the information and settings that you entered so that you do not have to input this information once again.
We also use cookies in order to log the usage of our website in statistical terms and analyse this for the purpose of optimising our services for you. These cookies enable us to automatically recognise that you have already visited our site if you choose to do so again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time in each case.
The data processed by cookies is necessary for the purposes already mentioned to safeguard our legitimate interests and those of third parties according to Article 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 f) of the GDPR.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser in such a way that no cookies are stored on your computer or a notice always appears before a new cookie is created. However, the complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot make use of all the functions on our website.
Analysis tools
Matomo
We use processes to statistically measure our website’s coverage. This includes information such as the length of time users stay on the site, the device used, operating system, language settings, origin, region, location and user actions. We collect the above-mentioned information through a cookie that you set. Your IP address will be anonymized before being saved. We operate both the website and Matomo on our own systems, so there is no transfer to third parties. The cookie you set has a storage period of 7 days. The statistical evaluations of anonymous users’ data are deleted after 6 months. We assert the provisions of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR as the legal basis for the processing. This means we claim a legitimate interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website and mitigate any encroachment on your personal rights through the default setting. In addition, you have the right to object to future processing at any time. The objection will result in a cookie that is automatically stored on your computer to prevent analysis. That means if you delete all cookies at a later time, tracking will automatically start again on a new visit because the opt-out cookie has been deleted.
Use of reCAPTCHA
To protect entry forms on our site, we use the service “reCAPTCHA” provided by Google Ireland Limited. Using this service, it is possible to determine whether an entry is made by a human or is the result of misuse by automated machine processing. To our knowledge, the referrer URL, the IP address, the behavior of website visitors, information about the operating system, browser and dwell time, cookies, display instructions and scripts, the user's input behavior, as well as mouse movements in the area of the “reCAPTCHA” checkbox are transmitted to Google. The IP address transmitted as part of “reCAPTCHA” is not combined with other data from Google, unless you are logged in to your Google account at the time of using the “reCAPTCHA” plug-in. If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behavior on our website by Google, you must log out of Google before you visit our site or use the reCAPTCHA plug-in. The “reCAPTCHA” service is used in accordance with the Google privacy policy. As the site operator, we have a legitimate interest in determining whether the entry is made by a human. Purpose of the data processing: To determine that an entry is not made by a machine. Legal basis: Article 6, Paragraph 1f GDPR.
