Information sheet for customers

Improvement of our online presence

We collect, process and use the following data to improve the design and content of our websites, the functions of our online presence and the user-friendliness of our websites:

  • Date and time of the website visit
  • the website from which you accessed our website
  • the operating system you are using
  • the browser you are using
  • the IP address with which you visit our website
  • the language settings used on your device
  • the pages of our website you have accessed or the files you have downloaded from our website
  • the amount of data transferred during your visit to our website
  • a message as to whether the visit to our website was successful

We collect, process and use this data exclusively for the aforementioned statistical and non-commercial purposes in anonymized or pseudonymized form, so that any inference to your person is prevented as far as possible.

Cookies

We use "cookies" on our websites. Cookies are text files that are placed on the memory of the device from which you have accessed our websites.

We use both permanent cookies and temporary cookies (so-called session cookies). Persistent cookies can be stored on your device for a few seconds to several years. Temporary cookies are automatically deleted as soon as you close your browser or end the session.

Cookies help us

  • in identifying the frequency of visits to the website areas
  • to recognize the preferences of our website visitors and to be able to optimally design the websites accordingly
  • to facilitate navigation on our websites and thus increase the user-friendliness of our websites
  • to retain information for a certain period of time and to identify the website visitor's computer as soon as they return to our website. This makes it possible, for example, to use the settings you have previously selected so that you do not have to make the settings again (e.g. language settings, log-in information).

If you do not want cookies to be stored on your device, you can set your browser so that it notifies you when cookies are placed or does not accept them. You can also decide whether you want to accept or block only a few or all categories of cookies. You can find further information on handling cookies in the online help of the browser you are using.

If you block the cookies we use, we would like to inform you that you may not be able to use individual functions of our website or only to a limited extent.

Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web tracking tool from Google Inc., to create pseudonymized user profiles in order to design our websites in line with requirements. Google Analytics uses cookies, which are stored on your device and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookies is usually transferred to a Google Inc. server in the USA and stored there. However, since we have activated the IP anonymization function on our websites, the IP address used by you or your device will be shortened and thus anonymized by Google before being stored in the USA within member states of the EU 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 only shortened there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for us and providing us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

You can object to the creation of user profiles about your surfing behavior at any time by clicking:

  1. Set an "opt-out cookie" (instructions at:https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/?hl=de#disable), which tells Google not to store or use your data for web analysis purposes. This alternative to prevent web analysis is only possible as long as the "opt-out cookie" is stored on your device. As soon as you remove all or this cookie from your computer, you must set the "opt-out cookie" again if you still do not agree to the creation of a usage profile.
  2. Make the appropriate settings in the browser you are using.
  3. install a browser plug-in (= add-on) that prevents tracking. You can find this at:https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de(if this is supported by the browser you are using).

Google Maps

Our websites use "Google Maps" to display interactive maps on our websites. Google Maps is a service of Google Inc. By using the interactive map embedded on our websites, you agree that Google (or one of its representatives or third-party providers) may process and use your automatically collected location data, user identification data and usage data as well as the location data voluntarily entered by you.

If you do not want Google to collect, process or use data about your visit to our website, you must disable the use of so-called "Java scripts" in your browser or block the execution of scripts for the domain"www.google.de/maps".

Google reCAPTCHA

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter referred to as "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google").

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
