3. Data collection on our website

Cookies

Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies serve to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called „session cookies“. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the use of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain purposes or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies, which are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you require (e.g. shopping basket function), are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimal provision of their services. As far as other cookies (e.g. cookies for the analysis of your surfing behaviour) are stored, these will be treated separately in this data protection declaration.

Server-Log-Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Host name of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to check the data subsequently if we become aware of any evidence of illegal use.

4. Plugins and Tools

Google Web Fonts

This site uses so-called web fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform representation of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

To do this, the browser you use must connect to Google’s servers. As a result, Google learns that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a consistent and attractive presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font will be used by your computer.

More information about Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google’s Privacy Policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.

Social media sharing features

Scope of the processing of personal data

This website offers its visitors the possibility of sharing individual posts on different social networks (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter).

Technically, these are not so-called social plugins, under the use of which data of the user are already transmitted when the page is called, but to mere text links. Data transfer to third-party servers (Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter) only takes place when the user clicks on the share buttons and shares the relevant article.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The sharing functionality does not process any data on our own website. By using (clicking) the respective buttons, the user opens a new browser window with the sharing interface of the respective network.

Purpose of data processing

Our goal is to provide our users with a convenient way to share content. Data processing by the website operator does not take place.

Duration of storage

This website does not store any personal social media usage or sharing data, but only collects anonymous statistics (total number of shares).

Opposition and removal possibility

Not applicable as no data is stored.

Web tracking and web analysis by Google Analytics

Handling of processing

This website uses Google Analytics, the web analysis service of Google Inc. (hereafter “Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“. These are text files that are stored on your computer and 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.

More information on how Google Analytics handles user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en-gb.

However, in the event of activation of IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand 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 will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US 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 other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR.

Purpose of data processing

The processing of your personal data enables us to analyse your surfing behaviour. By analysing the obtained data, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. For these purposes, our legitimate interest in the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR. By anonymizing your IP address, your interest in the protection of personal data will be adequately taken into account.

Duration of storage

Your personal data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our aforementioned purposes.

Opposition and removal possibility

Users of this website who do not want their data collected by Google Analytics can install the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. This add-on instructs the Google Analytics JavaScript running on websites (ga.js, analytics.js, and dc.js) not to allow the sending of information to Google Analytics.

If you want to disable Google Analytics, go to this page and install the Google Analytics opt-out add-on for your browser. Detailed information on installing and uninstalling the add-on can be found in the relevant help resources for your browser.

Browser and operating system updates may cause the deactivation add-on to stop working as intended. Learn more about managing add-ons for Chrome here. If you are not using Chrome, check with the manufacturer of your browser to see if add-ons are working properly in the browser version you are using.

The latest versions of Internet Explorer occasionally load the Google Analytics opt-out add-on after data has been sent to Google Analytics. Therefore, if you use Internet Explorer, the add-on will install cookies on your computer. These cookies ensure that any captured data is deleted immediately by the server that collected the data. Make sure that third-party cookies are not disabled for Internet Explorer. If you delete your cookies, these cookies will be reset by the add-on within a short period of time to ensure that your Google Analytics browser add-on continues to operate without restriction.

The Google Analytics opt-out browser add-on does not prevent data from being sent to the website or other web analytics services.
