h) Cookies, website analysis and marketing
To enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies. These are short data packets that are stored on your end device and exchanged with other providers. Some of the cookies we use are deleted immediately after closing your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your terminal and make it possible to recognize your browser on your next visit (persistent cookies).

Our cookie banner allows you to actively agree to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, you can delete all cookies stored on your device and set the common browsers to prevent cookies from being stored.
In this case, you may have to make some settings again each time you visit this website and accept the impairment of some functions.
In principle, the following applies: The legal basis for data processing by means of a cookie is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 a) DSGVO or our predominant legitimate interests in optimising and producing the functionality of our web offer in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 f) DSGVO

To design and optimise our website in line with requirements we use the analysis service econda Analytics, econda GmbH, Zimmerstr. 6, 76137 Karlsruhe ("Econda").

We use "Camber Web Fonts" provided by Monotype Imaging Inc. for the uniform representation of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to display text and fonts correctly.
For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to the servers of Monotype Imaging Inc. This allows Monotype Imaging Inc. to know that your IP address has been used to access our Web site. The use of "Camber Web Fonts" is in the interest of the technical structure of the website and a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offers. The legal basis for the processing constitutes a legitimate interest in this respect in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
In the event that your browser does not support web fonts, your computer will use a standard font. Further information on "Camber Web Fronts" can be found at https://www.monotype.com/legal/privacy-policy .

Google Analytics
We use the Google Analytics tracking tool from Google on our website. We use Google Analytics to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the activities within this website and to provide further services associated with the use of the website and thus improve user-friendliness.
When using Google Analytics, interactions of website visitors are primarily recorded and systematically evaluated with the aid of cookies.
Details of the cookies used can be found in our cookie information.
We use Google Analytics with the extension "anonymizeIp()". This shortens IP addresses within the member states of the EU or EEA. If a transmission to the Google servers in the USA takes place, the full IP address is only transmitted in exceptional cases and shortened there. A direct personal reference is thus generally excluded. In particular, it is no longer possible to assign the IP address to the computer or terminal device of the website visitor. By using Google Analytics the following data is processed:

  • 3 bytes of the IP address of the called system of the website visitor (anonymised IP address),
  • the accessed website,
  • the website from which the user has reached the page called up on our website (referrer),
  • the sub-pages accessed from the website,
  • the time spent on the website,
  • the frequency of access to the website.
According to its own information, Google will not associate your IP address with any other data held by Google.
The legal basis for data processing is your prior consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a) DSGVO. Revocation of your consent
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by adjusting the setting options at http://www.google.de/ads/preferences or here on our website:
Cookie settings
In addition, please read the information about Google's use of data in the Google Partner Network at: http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners/

j) Integration of external content
We use external dynamic content to optimise the presentation and the offer of our website. When visiting the website, a request is automatically made to the server of the respective content provider via API, in which certain log data (e.g. the IP address of the user) is transmitted. The dynamic content is then transmitted to our website and displayed there.
We use external content in connection with the following functionalities:

i) Social media presence
We maintain fan pages within various social networks and platforms with the aim of communicating with the customers, interested parties and users active there and informing them about our services.

We would like to point out that your personal data may be processed outside the European Union, so that risks may arise for you (e.g. in the enforcement of your rights under European / German law).
User data is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from the user behaviour and the resulting interests of the users. These user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably correspond to the interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the users' devices, in which the usage behaviour and interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, data may also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them).

The processing of the users' personal data is based on our legitimate interests in effective information of the users and communication with the users in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. If users are asked by the respective providers to give their consent to data processing (i.e. to give their consent, e.g. by ticking a check box or confirming a button), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter a., Art. 7 DSGVO.

For further information on the processing of your personal data and your right to object, please refer to the links of the respective provider listed below. The assertion of information and other rights of the persons concerned can also be made against the providers, as only those who have direct access to the users' data and have access to the relevant information can do so. Of course, we are available to answer questions and support you if you need help. provider:

e) Right of revocation in the case of consents with effect for the future
You can revoke any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future. Your revocation does not affect the lawfulness of processing up to the time of revocation.
