Cookies offered by providers other than the responsible party who operates the online offer are referred to as “third-party cookies” (otherwise, if they are only their cookies, they are referred to as “first-party cookies”).
We can use temporary and permanent cookies and explain this in our privacy policy.
If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional limitations of this online offer.

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC (“Google”), on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. our interest in analyzing, optimizing, and operating our website in a commercially reasonable manner, pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR). Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of our website by users is generally transmitted to and stored on a server in the United States operated by Google.
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus provides a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our website by users, to compile reports on the activities within our website, and to provide us with other services related to the use of our website and internet usage. Pseudonymous user profiles may be created from the processed data.
We only use Google Analytics with IP anonymization enabled. This means that the IP address of users within the Member States of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area will be truncated by Google. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there.
The IP address transmitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other data from Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting their browser software settings accordingly; users can also prevent Google from collecting data generated by the cookie and related to their use of our website by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
