You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

  • Browser type/version

  • Operating system used

  • Referrer URL

  • Hostname of the accessing computer

This data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. A combination of this data with other data sources is not carried out. We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Google Analytics

This website uses functions of the web analytics services Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will, however, be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Facebook Plugins (Like Button)

Our pages integrate plugins of the social network Facebook, provider Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “Like Button” (“Gefällt mir”) on our site. An overview of the Facebook plugins can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When you visit our pages, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook thereby receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “Like Button” while logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate the visit to our pages with your user account. We point out that we, as the provider of these pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. For more information, see Facebook’s privacy policy at http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you do not want Facebook to associate the visit to our pages with your Facebook user account, please log out of your Facebook account.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Twitter

Functions of the Twitter service are integrated into our pages. These functions are offered by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. By using Twitter and the “Re-Tweet” function, the websites you visit are linked to your Twitter account and made known to other users. Data is also transmitted to Twitter. We point out that we, as the provider of the pages, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Twitter. For more information, see Twitter’s privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy.

You can change your privacy settings on Twitter in the account settings at http://twitter.com/account/settings.

Privacy Policy for the Use of YouTube

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the site is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.
