6. Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. “(“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website to analyze how users use the site. The information generated by cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet use.

We use Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This shortens the processing of IP addresses. A personalization can thus be ruled out. As far as there is a personal reference to the data collected about you, this will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link.

7. Use of Social-Media-Plug-ins

We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter. You can recognize the provider of the plug-in by the marking on the box above its initial letter or the logo. By clicking on the logo-button you will be redirected to our webpage at the respective network.

The connection to the respective network is implemented by the so-called 2-Click-Social-Media-Buttons. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. However, you can use the corresponding button with the respective logo to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it, the plug-in provider receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer.

Additionally, the log-files mentioned under point 2 of this privacy policy will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection, according to the respective provider in Germany. By activating the plug-in, personal data is transferred from you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (for US providers in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects data mainly via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies before clicking on the grayed-out box using your browser’s security settings.

The data collected about you will be stored by the plug-in provider as user profiles and used for advertising and market research purposes. The data is transferred regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there.

You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Through the plug-ins we offer you the possibility to get to know our offer and the corresponding content in the respective social networks, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.
