This website uses transient and persient cookies. Transient cookies are automatically deleted when closing the browser. These include in particular the session cookies. These store a so-called Session-ID, with which different requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a preset period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser at your next visit. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.

You can configure your browser settings according to your preferences and, for example, refuse to accept third-party cookies or all cookies. We point out that you may not be able to use all functions of this website.

§ 4 Use of Google Analytics

(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. („Google“). Google Analytics uses so called „Cookies“, text files which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, in the case that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.

(3) You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do so you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being passed on to Google and the processing of these data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension „anonymizeIp()“.As a result, IP addresses are processed in a shortened form, so that a personal reference can be excluded. If there is a personal reference to the data collected about you, this is immediately excluded and the personal data are therefore deleted immediately.

(5) We use Google Analytics to analyse and regularly improve the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases in which personal data are transferred to the USA, Google has subjected itself to the EU-US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

§ 5 Use of Google Web Fonts
(1) This website uses so-called web fonts, which are provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. When calling up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. To do this, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. Google thus obtains knowledge that our website was accessed via your IP address. 

(2) The storage of conversion cookies serves to analyse user behaviour in order to optimise both our website and our advertising. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGV, because we have a legitimate interest in a uniform and attractive presentation of our online offers. 

(3) If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font is used by your computer. More information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in the privacy policy of Google: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
