SSL encryption
This site uses SSL encryption for security reasons, and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests you send to us as a site operator.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Use of Google Analytics
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so called „cookies", which are textiles saved on the computer of the user in order to analyse the usage of the website. The information created by the Cookie concerning your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, in the case of activation of IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be previously abbreviated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States of the Treaty on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will only be transferred to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to produce reports concerning the website activities for the website operator and to produce additional services associated with the use of the Internet and website.
(2) The IP address sent by your browser within the context of Google Analytics will not be combined with other data of Google.
(3) You can prevent the cookies from being stored by means of an appropriate setting in your browser software; however we must point out that in this case not all functions of the website will be available to you in their full capacity.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in the abbreviated form, so that a personal correlation can be ruled out. As far as the data collected about you is personal, it will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

Analysis by wiredminds
Our website uses a counting pixel technology provided by wiredminds GmbH
(www.wiredminds.de) to analyze visitor behavior. If necessary, data is collected, processed
and stored, from which user profiles are created under a pseudonym. Wherever possible and
reasonable, these usage profiles are completely anonymized. Cookies can be used for this
purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the visitor's Internet browser and
serve to recognize the Internet browser. The collected data, which may also contain personal
data, will be transmitted to wiredminds or collected directly by wiredminds. wiredminds may
use information that is left by visiting the websites to create anonymized usage profiles. The
data obtained without explicit consent of the affected person will not be used to personally
identify the visitor of this website and will not be merged with personal data of the bearer of
the pseudonym. Whenever IP addresses are recorded, their immediate anonymization takes
place by deleting the last number block.

If you are logged in to Google, your information will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or the demand-oriented design of its website.

You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.
