General information on cookies
We use cookies to make our website as user-friendly and as functional as possible for you. Some of these cookies are stored on the device you use to access the site.
Cookies are small packages of data that are exchanged between your browser and our web server whenever you visit our website. They do not cause any damage and are used solely to recognize website visitors. The next time you access our website using the same device, the information stored in the cookies can then either be sent back to us (“first-party cookie”) or to a web application of a third party to whom the cookie belongs (“third-party cookie”). The information that is stored and sent back allows each web application to recognize that you have already accessed and visited the website using the browser on your device.
Cookies contain the following information:
- Cookie name
- Name of the server from which the cookie originates
- Cookie ID number
- An expiry date, after which the cookie will be automatically deleted
We classify cookies in the following categories depending on their purpose and function:
- Technically necessary cookies which are required for ensuring technical operations and the basic functionality of our website (e.g. to be able to access secured areas of the website). These are so-called session or connection cookies.
- Statistics cookies, which collect anonymous data that we analyze to gain an understanding of how visitors interact with our website. These are also used for measuring the reach and access of our website, and to analyze how often specific pages are accessed.
- Marketing cookies, for analyzing user behavior, which is used as a basis for providing personalized, targeted advertising based on your interests.
- Unclassified cookies are cookies that we are trying to classify together with individual cookie providers.
Depending on the storage period, we also divide cookies into session and persistent cookies. Session cookies store information that is used during your current browser session. These cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. No information remains on your 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 react accordingly. The lifespan of a persistent cookie is determined by the provider of the cookie.
The legal basis for using technically necessary cookies is our legitimate interest in the technically fault-free operation and smooth functionality of our website as described in Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. f of the GDPR. The use of statistics and marketing cookies is subject to your consent, in accordance with Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. a of the GDPR. For more information about the cookies we actually use (specifically, their purpose and lifespan), refer to this privacy policy and to the information about the cookies we use. You can withdraw your consent for the future use of cookies at any time, in accordance with Art. 7 paragraph 3 of the GDPR. Your consent is voluntary. If consent is not given, no disadvantages arise.
You can also set your web browser so that it does not store any cookies in general on your device or so that you will be asked each time you visit the site whether you accept the use of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. Refer to the Help section of your browser to learn how to do this.

Facebook-Pixel
We use the Facebook-Pixel provided by the social network Facebook on our website for purposes of analysis and optimisation and for the commercial operation of our website. This tool is operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (‘Facebook’).
ATTENTION: Within the scope of this service, data is transferred to the US or such a transfer cannot be excluded.
Facebook-Pixel makes it possible for Facebook to identify visitors of our website as target groups for displaying ads (‘Facebook ads’). Therefore, we use Facebook-Pixel to display our Facebook ads only to Facebook users who have shown interest in our online product offering, or who show certain characteristics (e.g. interests in specific topics or products that are determined based on the websites they have visited), which we share with Facebook (i.e. ‘custom audiences’). By using Facebook-Pixel, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads match the potential interests of users and do not cause any inconvenience. Furthermore, by using Facebook-Pixel, we can evaluate the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether the user was redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (i.e. ‘conversion’).
Your actions are stored in one or more cookies. These cookies enable Facebook to match your user data (such as IP address, user ID) with the data of your Facebook account. The collected data is anonymous and not visible to us and can only be used in the context of advertisements. You can prevent the linking 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 paragraph 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
Further information on how Facebook processes personal data, including the legal basis on which Facebook relies and the possibilities for exercising the rights of data subjects vis-à-vis Facebook, can be found in the Facebook Data Policy at https://www.facebook.com/policy.php
If you want to control what kind of adverts are displayed to you on Facebook, you can go to the page Facebook has set up for this purpose and follow the instructions on configuring user-targeted adverts: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads
The settings chosen will be applied across all platforms, meaning that they will apply to all devices from your desktop to mobile.
Facebook processes data in accordance with its privacy policy. For general information about the presentation of Facebook ads, refer to: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php

Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of the use of our website.
In general, information about your use of the website is transferred to a Google server and stored there, such as the type and version of browser you used, the operating system you used, the site you visited prior to accessing our site, the host name of the computer (IP address) you used to access the site, and the time of your server request. For this purpose, we have entered into a contract with Google for contractual processing of your data in accordance with Art. 28 of the GDPR.
At our request, Google will use this information to analyse the use of our website, to create reports on the activities within our website and to render additional services related to the use of our website and of the internet. According to Google, the IP address submitted by your browser will not be added to other data held by Google.
We use Google Analytics only with IP anonymisation activated, which means we have expanded this website to include the code ‘anonymizeIP’. This ensures that your IP address is masked, so that all data is collected anonymously. Only under exceptional circumstances will a full IP address be transmitted to a Google server and truncated there.
During the website visit, the following data is collected:
- the pages you call up, your "click path"
- Achievement of "website goals" (conversions, e.g. newsletter registrations, downloads, purchases)
- Your user behavior (for example clicks, duration of stay, 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 settings, 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 is immediately deleted after expiration of the storage limits that we have set. Google Analytics gives us the following options for the storage limits: 14 months, 26 months, 38 months, 50 months or no automatic deletion. You can ask us any time for the current storage limit that we have set.
The processing of your data using Google Analytics is subject to your explicit consent in the sense of Art 6 paragraph 1 lit. a of the GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
You can also block the collection of data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available through the link below: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

Google Marketing Platform / Google Ad Manager (former Doubleclick)

ATTENTION: Within the scope of this service, data is transferred to the US or such a transfer cannot be excluded.
This service works by means of a pseudonymous identification number (pID), which is received by and assigned to your browser. This pID enables the service to detect which ads have already been displayed to you and which have been accessed.
This data is used to display ads throughout a website be enabling Google to identify which pages you have visited. The information collected is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there for analysis. Google is only allowed to transfer data to third parties in accordance with legal regulations or in the context of contractual data processing.

Google Tag Manager
We use the service Google Tag Manager on our website. This service is provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 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.
When the Tag Manager is started, your browser establishes a connection to Google's servers. This informs Google that our website has been accessed via your IP address.
Google Tag Manager is used to manage website tags via an interface. This enables us to embed code snippets such as tracking codes or conversion pixels into our website without interfering with the source code. In this process, Tag Manager data is only transferred; it is not collected or stored. The Tag Manager itself is a cookie-less domain and does not process any personal data, because it is used solely to manage other services used on our website. The Tag Manager triggers other tags which in turn collect data under specific circumstances. However, the Tag Manager has no access to this data. If you have chosen to deactivate cookies on our site in general or to deactivate specific cookies, this will remain in effect for all tracking tags that are implemented using the Tag Manager.
