VII. Cookies

Cookies are used in our website. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters by which Internet pages and server can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet page and server to distinguish the individual browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would otherwise not be possible without the cookie setting. By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the benefit of our user. As mentioned, cookies enable us ti recognise the user of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to navigate through our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his or her access data each time he or she visits the website, because this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie. The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of an appropriate setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

IX. Social Media

1. Facebook

Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are recognisable by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” on a blue tile, the terms “Like”, “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. The list and appearance of Facebook social plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When a user calls up a website of this offer that contains such a plugin, his browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs users according to its level of knowledge:

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the offer. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his or her Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the Like button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from their browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and store his or her IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymised IP address is stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the related rights and settings options for protecting the privacy of users, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

Wenn ein Nutzer Facebook-Mitglied ist und nicht möchte, dass Facebook über dieses Angebot Daten über ihn sammelt und mit seinen bei Facebook gespeicherten Mitgliedsdaten verknüpft, muss er sich vor dem Besuch des Internetauftritts bei Facebook ausloggen.

2. LinkedIn

We use components of the LinkedIn network on our website. LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. With each individual call-up of our website that is equipped with such a component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from LinkedIn.

This process informs LinkedIn which specific page of our website is currently being visited. If you click the LinkedIn “Recommend Button” while you are logged into your LinkedIn account, you can link the content of our pages to your LinkedIn profile. This enables LinkedIn to assign the visit to our pages to your LinkedIn user account.

We have no influence on the data that LinkedIn collects through this, nor on the scope of this data collected by LinkedIn. We also have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to LinkedIn. Details on data collection by LinkedIn as well as your rights and setting options can be found in LinkedIn’s data protection information. You can find this information at http://w.ww.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.

3. YouTube

This website contains at least one plugin from YouTube, which belongs to Google Inc. and is based in San Bruno/California, USA.

We use the YouTube function No-Cookies, i.e., we have activated Extended Data Protection, videos are not accessed via youtube.com, but via youtube-nocookie.com.

YouTube itself provides this and thus ensures that YouTube does not initially save any cookies on your device. However, when the relevant pages are called up, the IP address and the other data mentioned in section 4 are transmitted and thus, in particular, information is provided as to which of our Internet pages you have visited. This information cannot be assigned to you if you are permanently logged in to YouTube or another Google service when you access the page.

As soon as you start the playback of an embedded video by clicking on it, YouTube only saves cookies on your device through the extended data protection mode, which do not contain any personally identifiable data, unless you are currently logged in to a Google service. These cookies can be prevented by appropriate browser settings and extensions.

4. Instagram

We also use so-called social plugins (“plugins”) from Instagram (Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA; hereinafter “Instagram”) on our website. You can recognise the plugins by the Instagram logo, for example in the form of an “Instagram camera”. Your browser establishes a direct connection to the Instagram servers when you call up a page of our website with such a plugin. Instagram directly transmits the content of the plugin to your browser, where it is integrated into the page. In this way, Instagram is informed that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website. This also applies if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram.

Your browser sends this information together with your IP address directly to an Instagram server in the USA, where it is stored. If you log in to Instagram, your visit to our website can be directly assigned to your Instagram account by Instagram. If you work with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Instagram” button, Instagram also sends this information directly to a company-owned server where it is stored.

Furthermore, Instagram publishes this information on your Instagram account and shows it to your contacts there. You can prevent Instagram from directly assigning the data collected via our website to your Instagram account. To do this, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website.

You can find more information in Instagram’s privacy policy (https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388).

X. Data security

We use the widespread SSL procedure (Secure Socket Layer) in connection with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser when visiting our website. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is encrypted by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

We also use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

XI. Changes to this privacy policy

We reserve the right to change our privacy policy should this be necessary due to new technologies.

The data protection regulation has been updated October 2021.
