Technologies on our website

Cloudflare

On our website, the service Cloudflare is used as a so-called content delivery network (CDN) as well as a security service. The provider is Cloudflare Inc, 101 Townsend Street, San Francisco, California 94107, USA, („Cloudflare“).

ATTENTION! Within the scope of this service, data transfer to the USA takes place or cannot be ruled out.

A CDN is a service that helps deliver content from our website, especially large media files such as images, faster with the help of regional servers connected over the Internet. Delivering content through servers near you reduces average website load times.

Cloudflare prepares both web optimizations and security services. Cloudflare blocks threats and limits misuse of server resources and bandwidth. Our website will be much more powerful and less vulnerable to spam or other attacks thanks to Cloudflare.

Cloudflare uses cookies and processes data of the users of our website.

If you visit our website, your requests will be routed through the server of Cloudflare. Statistical access data about visits to our website are collected.

Access data includes:

– Your IP address,
– the website(s) of our Internet presence that you have accessed,
– Type and version of the Internet browser you use,
– the operating system you are using,
– the Internet page from which you have accessed our website (referrer URL),
– Your length of stay on our website and
– the frequency with which our Internet pages are called up.

This data helps Cloudflare in particular to detect new threats and to ensure a high security standard for the operation of our website.

Your data is processed to maintain the security and functionality of the CDN and to optimize our loading times. The use of cookies by Cloudflare is done for security reasons to ensure the trustworthiness of an end device and is absolutely necessary for the security function. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Cloudflare keeps data logs only as long as necessary and this data is deleted within 24 hours in most cases. However, there is information that Cloudflare stores indefinitely as part of its permanent logs in order to improve Cloudflare’s overall performance. However, this data is not personal and is anonymized by Cloudflare. The data in question can be found at https://www.cloudflare.com/application/privacypolicy/.

For more information on the handling of data transferred to Cloudflare, please see Cloudflare’s privacy policy: https://www.cloudflare.com/security-policy (in English).

Cookies and Local Storage

We use cookies on our website to make our internet presence more user-friendly and functional. Some cookies remain stored on your terminal device.

Cookies are small data packets that are exchanged between your browser and the/our web server when you visit our website. These do not cause any harm and only serve to recognize the website visitor. Cookies can only store information supplied by your browser, i.e. information that you yourself have entered into the browser or that is present on the website. Cookies cannot execute code and cannot be used to access your terminal device.

The next time you visit our website with the same terminal device, the information stored in cookies may subsequently be sent back either to us („first-party cookie“) or to a third-party web application to which the cookie belongs („third-party cookie“). Through the stored and returned information, the respective web application recognizes that you have already called up and visited the website with the browser of your end device.

Cookies contain the following information:

  • Cookie name
  • Name of the server from which the cookie originally originated
  • Cookie-ID-number
  • A date when the cookie is automatically deleted

Depending on their purpose and function, we divide cookies into the following categories:

  • Technically necessary cookies to ensure the technical operation and basic functions of our website. This type of cookie is used, for example, to maintain your settings while you navigate the website; or they can ensure that important information is retained throughout the session (e.g. login, shopping cart).
  • Statistics cookies to understand how visitors interact with our website by collecting and analyzing information anonymously only. In this way, we gain valuable insights to optimize both the website and our products and services.
  • Marketing cookies to set targeted advertising activities for users on our website.
  • Unclassified cookies are cookies that we are currently working with individual cookie providers to classify.

 

Depending on the storage period, we also divide cookies into session and permanent cookies. Session cookies store information used during your current browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. No information remains on your end device. Persistent cookies store information between two visits to the website. Based on this information, you will be recognized as a returning visitor on your next visit and the website will respond accordingly. The lifetime of a persistent cookie is determined by the cookie provider.

The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest in the technically flawless operation and smooth functionality of our website pursuant to Art 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our website cannot function properly without these cookies. The use of statistics and marketing cookies requires your consent pursuant to Art 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can withdraw your consent to the use of cookies in accordance with Art 7 para. 3 DSGVO at any time for the future. The consent is voluntary. If it is not granted, no disadvantages will arise. For more information about the cookies we actually use (in particular, their purpose and storage duration), please refer to this Privacy Policy and to the information about the cookies we use in our Cookie Banner.

You can also set your Internet browser to generally prevent cookies from being saved on your end device or to ask you each time whether you agree to cookies being set. Once cookies have been set, you can delete them at any time. You can find out how all this works in detail in the help function of your browser.

Please note that a general deactivation of cookies may lead to functional restrictions on our website.

On our website, we also use so-called local storage functions (also called „local storage“). In the process, data is stored locally in the cache of your browser, which continues to exist and can be read even after you close the browser – as long as you do not delete the cache or it is the session storage.

Third parties cannot access the data stored in the local storage. As far as special plugins or tools use the local storage functions, this is described with the respective plugin or tool.

If you do not want plugins or tools to use local storage features, then you can control this in the settings of your respective browser. We would like to point out that this may result in functional restrictions.

Facebook-Pixel

Purpose: Marketing
Recipient country: USA

On our website, the Facebook Pixel service of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland („Facebook“), is used for the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer.

ATTENTION! Within the scope of this service, data transfer to the USA takes place or cannot be ruled out.

With the help of Facebook Pixel, it is possible for Facebook, on the one hand, to determine the visitors to our website as a target group for the display of ads (so-called „Facebook Ads“). Accordingly, we use Facebook pixels to display Facebook ads placed by us only to Facebook users who have also shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g. interests in certain topics or products determined on the basis of the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called „Custom Audiences“). With the help of Facebook Pixel, we also want to make sure that our Facebook Ads match the potential interest of the users and are not harassing. With the help of Facebook Pixel, we can also track the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called „conversion“).

Your actions are thereby stored in one or more cookies. These cookies allow Facebook to match your user data (such as IP address, user ID) with your Facebook account data. The collected data is anonymous and not visible to us and is only used in the context of advertisements. You can prevent the link with your Facebook account by logging out before you take any action.

The processing of your data is based on your consent within the meaning of Art 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.

For more information about how Facebook processes personal data, including the legal bases on which Facebook relies and how data subjects can exercise their rights against Facebook, please see Facebook’s Data Policy at https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

To set which types of advertisements are displayed to you within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions there regarding the settings for usage-based advertising: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads

The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are applied to all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

General instructions on the display of Facebook ads can be found at:https://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php

Specific information and details about Facebook Pixel and how it works can be found in Facebook’s help section: https://de-de.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616

On our website, we use the functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics to analyze user behavior and to optimize our website. The provider of this service is Google Ireland Limited, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland („Google“).

ATTENTION! Within the scope of this service, data transfer to the USA takes place or cannot be ruled out. We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of data protection in the case of data transfer to the USA and that there are therefore various risks (such as possible access by US intelligence services, among others).

Google Analytics uses cookies, which allows an analysis of the use of our website.

Information about the use of the website such as browser type/version, operating system used, the previously visited page, host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of server request are usually transmitted to a Google server and stored there. We have concluded a contract with Google for this purpose.

On our behalf, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. According to Google, the IP address transmitted by your browser is not merged with other data from Google.

We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymization enabled by adding the code „anonymizeIP“ to this website. This guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server and shortened there.

During the website visit, the following data is collected, among others:

  • the pages you have called up, your „click path
  • Achievement of „website goals“ (conversions, e.g. newsletter sign-ups, downloads, purchases)
  • Your user behavior (for example, clicks, dwell time, bounce rates)
  • Your approximate location (region)
  • Your IP address (in shortened form)
  • technical information about your browser and the end devices you use (e.g. language setting, screen resolution)
  • Your Internet provider
  • the referrer URL (via which website / via which advertising medium you came to our website)

 

The data about the use of our website will be deleted immediately after the end of the retention period set by us in each case. Google Analytics gives us the following options for the retention period: 14 months, 26 months, 38 months, 50 months, do not delete automatically. You can ask us at any time for the current retention period set by us.

The processing of your data with the help of Google Analytics is based on your express consent within the meaning of Art 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

ATTENTION! Within the scope of this service, data transfer to the USA takes place or cannot be ruled out.

To display web fonts from Google, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. This gives Google knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. Also, the IP address of the browser of the end device of the visitor to our website is stored by Google. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font is used by your terminal.

Through each Google Font request, information such as language settings, screen resolution, version, and browser name are automatically transmitted to Google servers in addition to the IP address. In any case, the usage data collected allows Google to determine the popularity of fonts. Google publishes the results on internal analysis pages (e.g. Google Analytics).

With Google Fonts, we can use fonts on our own website and do not have to upload them to our server. Google Fonts is an important component in keeping the quality of our website high. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web, this saves data volume and is a great advantage especially when using mobile devices. When you visit us, the low file size ensures fast loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts and support all major browsers.

Google stores requests for CSS assets on its servers for one day. This allows us to use fonts with the help of a Google stylesheet. The font files are stored by Google for one year. To delete data ahead of time, you need to contact Google support ( https://support.google.com ).

Your data will only be processed with your express consent in accordance with Art 6 para. 1 lit a DSGVO.

This data processing occurs solely through your voluntary use of Google Maps and is not within our control.

We would like to point out that when this service is executed, Google (currently) sets a setting cookie called „NID“. Google Maps does not currently offer us the option to run this service in a mode without this cookie. The NID cookie contains information about your user behavior, which Google uses to optimize its own services and to provide individual, personalized advertising for you.

Google anonymizes data in server logs by deleting a portion of the IP address and cookie information after 9 and 18 months, respectively.

Location and activity data are stored – depending on your decision – either 3 or 18 months and then deleted. You can also manually clear the history at any time via your Google account.

This allows us to include code snippets such as tracking codes or conversion pixels on websites without interfering with the source code. In this case, the data is only forwarded by the tag manager, but not collected or stored. The Tag Manager itself is a cookie-less domain and does not process any personal data, as it serves purely to manage other services in our online offering. The Tag Manager takes care of resolving other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, the Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain for all tracking tags implemented with Tag Manager.
