Cookies
In order to design our Internet presence such that it is user-friendly and optimally customised to your requirements, we use cookies in some sections. We thereby rely on our legitimate interest of operating an attractive website for you. "Cookies" are small files that we transfer to your computer’s hard disk with the help of your internet browser or other programmes. They are saved locally on your computer’s hard disk and kept available for subsequent access. You allow our system to identify your browser and provide specific services to you.
A few of the cookies we use are deleted again at the end of the browser session, i.e. after closing your browsers (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and allow us or our partner companies to recognise your browser during the next visit (persistent cookies).
You can set your browser such that you will be informed about the setting of cookies and decide individually on their acceptance or the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or general exclusion (refer to acceptance or refusal of cookies).

Google Analytics / Web analysis
We use Google Analytics to analyze website usage. The resulting data is used to optimize our website and advertising.
Google Analytics is a web analytics service operated and provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States). Google processes the website usage data on our behalf and is contractually committed to taking steps to ensure the confidentiality of the processed data.

- Your approximate location (country and city)
- Your IP address (in abbreviated form, so that no unique assignment is possible)
- Technical information such as browser, Internet provider, terminal and screen resolution
- Source of origin of your visit (via which website or via which advertising material you came to us)This data is transmitted to a Google server in the USA. Google complies with the data protection provisions of the EU-US Privacy Shield Agreement.
Google Analytics stores cookies in your web browser for a period of two years since your last visit. These cookies contain a randomly generated user ID that will allow you to be recognized during future website visits.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising programme of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google").
Within the framework of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify the user. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we will be able to recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. The cookies cannot be tracked across AdWords customers' websites. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. The customers 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, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of "conversion cookies" is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.
More information on Google AdWords and Google conversion tracking can be found in Google's privacy policy: www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Google Maps
This site uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.
Google Maps is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and to make it easy to find the places we indicate on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Safety measures
We use technical and organisational security measures to protect personal data, in particular against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorised persons. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. For the rest, only employees who have been obliged to maintain data secrecy shall collect and process personal data. We will not pass on any personal data without your express consent, unless we are legally obliged to do so. However, we would like to point out that, despite all security measures, data transmitted via the Internet may be accessed or falsified by third parties.
