Collection of general information If you use our website for information purposes only, meaning if you do not create an account or provide us with any other information, we collect only the personal information that your browser transmits to our server. This includes the following: Content of the request (specific page), date and time of the request, quantity of data, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your Internet provider, the referrer URL (the page from which you access our site), access status and the IP address.
Without this data, it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the contents of this website. In this respect, the collection of data is absolutely necessary. In addition, we use anonymous information for statistical purposes. This helps us to optimize our website and technology. Furthermore, we reserve the right to subsequently inspect log files if we suspect illegal use of our website. |

Cookies Our website uses cookies in order to recognize repeated use of our website by the same user/internet connection subscriber. Cookies are small text files that are placed and stored on your computer by your web browser. They make the website more user-friendly and effective overall. These cookies are mostly transient cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close the browser. Transient cookies include session cookies. These cookies save a session ID that is used for assigning various requests from your browser during a single session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser. However, these cookies also pass along information used to automatically recognize you. This recognition is based on the IP address stored in the cookies. The information obtained by cookies serves to identify you for subsequent visits and make it easier for you to access to our site.
You can configure your browser settings according to your wishes. For example, you can refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. If you do so, please be aware that you may not be able to use all features of this site. |

Use of web analytics systems Our website uses the privacy-compliant web analytics service Matomo for statistical analysis of website visits. Matomo uses cookies to analyze the usage patterns of website visitors. The usage information generated by the cookie (including your anonymized IP address) is transmitted to our server and stored for the purpose of subsequent evaluation and optimization of our website content. Even before your IP address is transmitted to our server, your IP address is anonymized so that you as a user remain anonymous to us. Information on how our website visitors use our website will not be passed on to third parties unless we are legally required to do so.
If you do not consent to the storage and analysis of this data from your visit, you can prevent the use of cookies by making a corresponding setting in your browser software. However, in this case you may not be able to use all the features of our website because your browser will block all cookies, not just the cookie that is stored on your computer for analysis purposes. Alternatively, you can object to the storage and use of this data at any time by clicking here. In this case, an opt-out cookie is stored in your browser and Matomo will not collect any session data. If you delete the cookies on your computer (for example if you use the private or incognito mode of your browser), the opt-out cookie will also be deleted and may need to reactivated by you so that no analysis cookie is stored on your computer. |

Use of social media plug-ins We currently use the following social media plug-ins: YouTube, Facebook, Xing, LinkedIn, RSS feed. We use the two-click method for these plug-ins. In other words, when you visit our site, initially no personal information is passed on to the provider of the plug-ins. The provider of the plug-in can be identified by its initial letter or logo on the icon. We allow you to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. The plug-in provider is notified that you have opened the corresponding website of our online presence unless you activate the selected field by clicking it. The personal information that your browser sends to our server is also passed on. In the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, according to the German companies of these providers. This means that when you activate the plug-in, your personal information is sent by you to the plug-in provider and stored there (in the USA in the case of US providers). Since the plug-in provider users cookies to collect data, we recommend that you delete all cookies in the security settings of your browser before clicking on the grayed-out icon.
We have no influence on the data collected and data processing operations, nor do we know the full extent of data collection, the purposes of processing or retention periods. Deletion of collected information also depends on the policies of plug-in providers. The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses it for purposes of advertising, market research and/or tailored website design. This analysis, which also applies to anonymous users, is primarily used for placing custom ads and informing other users of the social network about your activities on our website. Data is passed on regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in to the provider's site. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, but you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. The plug-ins allow you to interact with social networks and other users so that we can improve our site and make it more interesting for you as a user.
For more information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and the processing of data by the plug-in provider, please refer to the privacy policies of these providers on their websites. These privacy policies also provide further information about your rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy.
