Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files stored on your computer that enable your usage of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie on your usage of this website is normally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, should the IP anonymisation on this website be activated, your IP address will be previously shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the agreement on the European economic area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. For the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your usage of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide other services connected with the use of the website and the Internet for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google. You can prevent the saving of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly. We would nevertheless point out that, in such cases, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to the full. Over and above this, you can prevent capture of the data (incl. your IP address) generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website and also the processing of such data by Google if you download and install the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout
The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user-identifiers (e.g. User-IDs) or advertising-identifiers are automatically deleted after 26 months.

You can prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is then placed, which prevents the future capture of your data when you visit this website: deactivate Google Analytics. More detailed information on the conditions of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/. We wish to point out that, on this website, Google Analytics has been extended by the code "anonymizeIp", to guarantee anonymised collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking).

YouTube

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the sites is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. If you visit one of our sites equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers will be made. The YouTube server is then informed which of our sites you have visited.

If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to assign your surf behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Further information on handling user data can be found in YouTube's data protection declaration at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

DSGVO), in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content"). This website uses so-called two-click solutions for integrating the following social plugins. In this case, the content from third-party providers such as Vimeo and YouTube is only loaded within articles once you have also confirmed this.

For reasons of security and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as the inquiries you sent to us as the site operator, this site uses an SSL code. You can recognise a coded connection by the fact that the address line of the browser switches from "http://" to "https://", and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If the SSL code is activated, the data you sent to us cannot be read by third parties.

Security

We make use of technical and organisational security measures according to the current state of the art in order to protect the data you sent to us from accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are constantly being improved in line with technological developments.
