Cookie Policy
What is a cookie?
Cookies are small text files created by the visited website that contain data. They are stored on the visitor’s computer to provide the user with access to various functions. A session cookie is temporarily stored on the computer while the visitor navigates through the website. This cookie is deleted when the user closes their internet browser or after a certain amount of time has elapsed (i.e. when the session expires). A persistent cookie remains on the visitor’s computer until it is deleted.
How can I reject and delete cookies?
As a general principle, we do not use cookies to collect personal information about visitors. If you wish, you can reject or block cookies by changing your browser settings – you can find out more about this in the „Help“ function of your browser. Please note that most browsers automatically accept cookies. Therefore, if you wish to suppress the use of cookies, you may need to actively delete or block cookies. For more information about the use of cookies in mobile phone browsers and how to reject or delete such cookies, please refer to your mobile phone manual. Please note, however, that if you refuse the use of cookies, you may continue to visit our websites but some features may be impaired in their operation.
For more information about cookies, including how to set cookies or organise, block or delete them, visit www.allaboutcookies.org. The website www.allaboutcookies.org provides detailed instructions on how to set and delete cookies, depending on the browser type.
Web analysis
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. („Google“). Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“, which are text files saved on your computer and which allow an analysis of the use of the web site by you. The information on your use of this web site (including your ip address) generated by these cookies will be transmitted to a server owned by Google in the USA and will be stored there. Google uses this information in order to analyse your use of the web site, to compile reports on the web site activities for the website owners and to perform further services related to the use of the web site and the internet. Google will also, if necessary, transmit this information to third parties, where this is required by law or where third parties process such data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will Google associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. Although you can adjust your browser software settings to prevent the installation of cookies, we wish to point out that if you do so, you might not be able to make full use of all the functions of this website. By using this website, you consent to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes set out above.
This website also uses the anonymizeIP() function, whereby the IP addresses are processed in a shortened form and thus no inference to the visitors is made possible. You can find more information about Google Analytics on the Internet at http://www.google.com/analytics/. If you do not agree to the use of Google Analytics, you can prevent the collection of data by using a Google browser plug-in (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout).
Google Services
We have concluded a contract with Google Ireland Limited („Google“), a company incorporated and operated under the laws of Ireland (registration number: 368047) with its registered business seat at Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Nevertheless, it is possible that data may be transferred from Europe to the USA, although we as a company have no influence over this.
For the USA, there is currently no adequacy decision by the EU Commission within the meaning of Article 45 (1), (3) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means that the EU Commission has not yet positively determined that the country-specific data protection level of this country corresponds to that of the European Union on the basis of the GDPR with regard to § 4 (appropriate safeguards).
The GDPR requires so-called appropriate safeguards for a data transfer to a third country or to an international organization in accordance with Article 46 (2), (3) of the GDPR. Such safeguards do not exist for the above-mentioned country of destination.
Possible risks that cannot currently be ruled out for you as a data subject in connection with the aforementioned information are in particular:
Your personal data could potentially be disclosed by Google USA to other third parties (e.g.: US authorities) by Google USA beyond the actual purpose of fulfilling the order.
You may not be able to sustainably assert or enforce your access rights against Google USA.
There may be a higher probability of incorrect data processing, as the technical organisational measures for the protection of personal data do not fully meet the requirements of the GDPR in terms of quantity and quality. By consenting to the processing of (advertising and marketing) cookies, you explicitly agree to the transfer of data to the USA. You can revoke this consent informally by e-mail at any time. The data processing that took place before you revoked your consent is not affected by the revocation and is therefore legally compliant.
Legal basis for the use of all Google services: Article 6 (1) point (a) of the GDPR
Google Analytics
This website uses the Google Analytics function as well as „activation of IP anonymisation“ (i.e. Google Analytics has been extended by the code „gat._anonymizeIp();“ to ensure anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). In this case, your IP-address will be shortened first by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other States party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP-address be transmitted to a server provided by Google in the USA and shortened there.
According to Google, Google will use the information obtained to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services related to website and internet usage. The ip address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics will not be amalgamated with other data collected by Google. Google may, however, transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. In addition, you can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the websites (incl. your anonymised IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
Use of Google Analytics Conversion Tracking (Google Ads) This website also uses Google Conversion Tracking. Google Ads sets a cookie on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google advertisement. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Ads client’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the client can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Ads client receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked across Ads clients‘ websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads clients who have opted in to conversion tracking. Ads clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking procedure, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this – for example, by means of a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser in such a way that cookies from the domain „www.googleadservices.com“ are blocked. Google’s privacy policy can be found here.
When you use SSL search, Google’s encrypted search feature, the search terms are usually not sent as part of the URL in the referring URL. However, there are some exceptions to this, for example if you are using certain less common browsers. For more information on SSL search, click here. Search queries or information in the referral URL could also be viewed through Google Analytics or an application programming interface (API). In addition, advertisers may receive information about the exact search terms that triggered a click on an ad. https://policies.google.com/faq?hl=de
Use of Google Maps
On this website we use the offer of Google Maps. This enables us to show you interactive maps directly on the website and allows you to use the map function conveniently. By visiting the website, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding sub-page of our website. In addition, the data already mentioned under the point „Informational use of the website“ will be transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account via which you are logged in or whether no user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not wish your data to be associated with your Google profile, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an analysis and evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, and you must contact Google to exercise this right in this regard.
For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the provider’s privacy policy. There you will also find further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
Google Remarketing
We make use of the Google Remarketing service on our website. With Google Remarketing, ads can be displayed for users who have already visited our website in the past.

Use of Google reCaptcha
We use the Google service reCaptcha to determine whether a human or a computer makes a certain entry in our contact or newsletter form. Google uses the following data to check whether you are a human or a computer: IP address of the terminal device used, the website that you visit with us and on which the captcha is embedded, the date and duration of the visit, the recognition data of the browser and operating system type used, Google account if you are logged in to Google, mouse movements on the reCaptcha areas and tasks that require you to identify images. The legal basis for the data processing described is Article 6 (1) (f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. There is a legitimate interest on our part in this data processing to ensure the security of our website and to protect us from automated entries (attacks).
Hotjar
We use Hotjar, an analytics software provided by Hotjar Ltd, Level 2, St Julians Business Centre, 3, Elia Zammit Street, St Julians STJ 3155, Malta, Europe. („Hotjar“) (http://www.hotjar.com)to better understand the needs of our users and to optimise the experience on this website .

The legal basis applicable in this regard is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR.
Our website uses social plugins („Plugins“) from Facebook (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland). The plugins are recognisable by one of the Facebook logos (dark grey or black „f“ on a light grey circle or or white „f“ on a blue tile, or the terms „Like“, „Like“ or a „thumbs up“ sign) or are marked with the addition „Facebook Social Plugin“. The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/t.
We have concluded a contract with Facebook Ireland, but it may nevertheless happen that Facebook Ireland transfers personal data to Facebook USA. For the USA, there is currently no adequacy decision by the EU Commission within the meaning of Article 45 (1), (3) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). This means that the EU Commission has not yet positively determined that the country-specific data protection level of this country corresponds to that of the European Union on the basis of the GDPR with regard to section 4 (appropriate safeguards).
The GDPR requires so-called appropriate safeguards for a data transfer to a third country or to an international organization in accordance with Article 46 (2), (3) of the GDPR. Such safeguards do not exist for the above-mentioned country of destination.
Possible risks that cannot currently be ruled out for you as a data subject in connection with the aforementioned information are in particular:
- Your personal data could potentially be shared with other third parties (e.g.: US authorities) by Facebook USA beyond the actual purpose of fulfilling the order.
- You may not be able to sustainably assert or enforce your access rights towards Facebook USA.
- There may be a higher probability that incorrect data processing may occur because the technical organizational measures for the protection of personal data do not fully meet the requirements of the GDPR in terms of quantity and quality.
By giving your consent to the processing of (advertising and marketing) cookies, you explicitly agree to the transfer of data to the USA. You can revoke this consent informally by e-mail at any time. The data processing that took place before you revoked your consent is not affected by the revocation and is therefore legally compliant.
When a user accesses a website of this offer that contains such a plugin, his/her browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the scope of the data collected by Facebook with the help of this plugin and therefore inform users according to its level of knowledge:
The data collected in this way is anonymous for us, which means that we do not see the personal data of individual users. However, this data is stored and processed by Facebook, of which we inform you according to our state of knowledge. Facebook may link this data to your Facebook account and also use it for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook’s Data Use Policy https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/. You may allow Facebook and its partners to serve and display ads on and off Facebook. Furthermore, a cookie may also be stored on your computer for these purposes.
This consent may only be declared by users who are older than 14 years of age. If you are younger, please ask your parent or guardian for advice. Please click here, if you wish to revoke your consent: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.
The legal basis applicable in this regard is Article 6 (1) point (a) of the GDPR.

By calling up pages that use such functions, data (IP address, browser data, date, time, cookies) are transmitted to Instagram, stored and evaluated. If you are logged into your Instagram account while surfing on our website, this data will be assigned to your personal account.
