Our website uses cookies in several places. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. They help make our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Furthermore, cookies allow our systems to recognize your browser and offer you services. Cookies do not contain any personal data.

Use of Google Analytics:
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website will generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity, and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting and processing data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: [ http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de ].

Use of Facebook plugins
These websites use plugins from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”).
Connecting directly to Facebook: When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, a connection is established to Facebook's servers, and the plugin is displayed on the page by sending a message to your browser. This transmits information to Facebook's servers about which of our web pages you have visited. If you are logged into Facebook as a member, Facebook associates this information with your personal Facebook user account. If you use the plugin functions (e.g., clicking the "Like" button, leaving a comment), this information is also associated with your Facebook account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plugin. If you do not want information to be linked to your Facebook profile, you must either log out of Facebook before visiting our website or use the browser add-on provided by Facebook. This allows you to block the loading of Facebook plugins. Further information on the collection and use of data by Facebook, your related rights, and options for protecting your privacy can be found in Facebook's privacy policy.

Using the Google "+1" button:
These websites use the "+1" button of the Google Plus social network, operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, California, 94043 USA (hereinafter "Google"). When you visit a page on our website that contains the "+1" button, a connection is established to Google's servers in the USA, and the button is displayed on the page by sending a message to your browser. In doing so, both your IP address and information about which of our web pages you have visited are transmitted to the Google server. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to Google+. Data transmission also occurs for unregistered or logged-out users. The "+1" button is not used to track your browsing behavior. Google does not permanently log your browsing history when a "+1" button is displayed, nor does Google analyze your visit to a page with a "+1" button in any other way. Google stores data about your visit for approximately two weeks for system maintenance and troubleshooting purposes. However, this data is not structured according to individual profiles, usernames or URLs and is not passed on to us.
If you are a Google+ member and logged into Google+ while using the plugin, the information collected about your website visit will be linked to your Google+ account and shared with other users. Information about your interactions with the various Google plugins will also be collected, transmitted to Google, and stored. An overview of the different types of Google plugins can be found here: https://developers.google.com/+/plugins.

If you have made your Google+ profile public in your settings, your "+1"s may be displayed by Google as recommendations, along with your profile name and photo, in Google services such as search results or your Google profile, or in other places on websites and in ads across the internet. If you do not want Google to directly link the collected information to your Google+ profile, you must log out of Google+ before visiting our website.
For more information about how Google collects and uses data, your related rights, and options for protecting your privacy , please see Google's Privacy Policy: www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html
