Cookies

When you visit our website, small text files (cookies) are stored on your computer. Some cookies are deleted at the end of your visit (session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device until they are deleted by you. This makes it possible to recognize the user in order to personalize the Internet offer. With the help of your web browser, you can adjust the use of cookies to your liking. Under certain circumstances, this can lead to limited use of our website. 

The use of cookies is based on a weighing of interests. As the operator of the application, we have a legitimate interest in the use of cookies to ensure a user-friendly visit.

Google Analytics (Consent)

We use the tracking tool Google Analytics on our website. In Google Analytics, interactions of the user of our website are generally recorded and systematically evaluated with the help of cookies. When individual pages of our website are called up, the following data is stored:

  • Time spent on the website
  • Frequency of the website visit
  • Three bytes of the IP address of the user's calling system (anonymized IP address)
  • The website from which the user has reached the page called up on our website (referrer)
  • The subpages that are called from the called page

Google Analytics is configured to mask the last octet of the IP address. This means that the IP address is not saved completely. As a result, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the calling computer or terminal device of the user.

The processing of the user's personal data by means of Google Analytics enables us to analyze the surfing behavior of our users in order to improve our website and its usability. By evaluating the data obtained, we can compile information on the use of the individual contents of our website. 

The data stored by tracking is deleted after fourteen months. 

You have the possibility to revoke your consent to the presented data processing by using Google Analytics at any time. To do so, click on the button "Change cookie settings" at the bottom of the page. In our Cookie Consent Manager, you can then change your current settings by unchecking the "Marketing" box.

The consent is given via the so-called cookie banner by placing a checkmark in the Marketing field after calling up the cookie details.
