4. What does this mean in detail in relation to the provision of this website with the services available therein?

4.1 Provision of the website and creation of log files

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. The following data is collected:

(1) Information about the browser type and version used

(2) the user's operating system

(3) the user's Internet service provider

(4) the IP address of the user

(5) Date and time of access

(6) Websites from which the user's system reaches our website

(7) Websites accessed from the user's system via our website

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data under log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes represent our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

4.2 Use of cookies

As part of the use of technically necessary cookies, we process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Without the use of these technically absolutely necessary cookies, the operation of the website is not possible, so there is no possibility of objection for you.

The use of technically necessary cookies is for the purpose of making the use of our website easier for you. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For this purpose, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change. We need your cookies for the following applications: (e.g.)

The contact is usually made in the same way that you have chosen for your message to us. If no contractual relationship develops from the contact, we will delete your contact data no later than two years after completion of the correspondence with you. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data will be used exclusively for the processing of the conversation.The legal basis for the temporary storage is your implied behavior in which you have provided us with your contact data to answer, as well as our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. If your request is aimed at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Cookies and trackers

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics including the Google Analytics advertising functions, provided that you have given us your consent to do so. This is a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site.

Google Analytics is only used with activated IP anonymization (so-called IP masking). This means that the IP address of users is shortened 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, e.g. if there are technical failures in Europe, the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. With the IP anonymization method used by Google, the full IP address is never written to a hard disk, because all anonymization takes place almost immediately after receiving the request in memory.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage, in particular functions for display advertising and Google Analytics reports on performance according to demographic characteristics and interests to the website operator. The data is stored unencrypted on servers in the USA and both Google and government authorities have access to this data. Data may also be linked to other data of the user - such as search history, personal accounts, user data of other devices and all other devices that Google has about this user. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. The Google Analytics reports on performance by demographic characteristics and interests use data obtained from Google through interest-based advertising and visitor data from third parties (such as age groups or interest groups).

The legal basis for the transfer of your personal data is your express and informed consent in accordance with Art. 49 GDPR.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link:
