4. Use of cookies

We use so-called 'cookies' on our website. These are small text files that are sent to your computer by our web server to identify it for the duration of the visit. We do not collect any personal data via these cookies.
The presentation of our website is also possible without the storage of cookies. You can disable the storage of cookies in the settings of your browser or set it so that it informs you about the intended storage by an Internet site. In this case, you decide whether or not to accept the cookie. For the full functionality of our website, however, it is necessary to allow all temporary cookies for technical reasons.

5. Google Analytics use

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ('Google'). It collects and stores data from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. These usage profiles are used to analyse visitor behaviour and are evaluated to improve and tailor our offer in line with requirements. 
Google Analytics uses 'cookies', which are text files stored on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website (including parts of your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. Under no circumstances will Google associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. We will also not merge the pseudonymised usage profiles with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without your express consent, which must be given separately. Data collection for usage statistics and transmission to Google takes place with the extended code 'gat._anonymizeIp();'. The collection of IP addresses is therefore anonymised (so-called IP masking).
You can object to the collection, use and storage of data for the purpose of web analysis at any time with effect for the future by preventing the installation of cookies through a corresponding setting in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. 
In addition, you can prevent the collection and processing of data about the use of this website (including parts of your IP address) by Google by downloading and installing the available browser plugin under the following link: www.tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout

6. Security 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. We would like to point out that, despite all security measures, the transmission of data via the Internet may result in third parties taking note of or falsifying this data.

7. Contact

If you have any questions or suggestions regarding this privacy policy, please contact us at the address given in the legal notice.

8. Updating our privacy policy

The ongoing technical development in the area of IT technology and the Internet also requires an adjustment of the existing privacy policy. We therefore reserve the right to make additions or changes to this privacy policy.
