Cookie Manager

The provider uses a cookie manager to obtain consent for the use of technically unnecessary cookies on the website.

When the website is accessed, a cookie with the settings information is stored on the user’s end device so that the request for consent does not have to be made on a subsequent visit.

The cookie is required to obtain the user’s legally compliant consent.

The user can prevent or terminate the installation of cookies by changing the settings in their browser.

Cookies

a) Session cookies/session cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your end device by the Internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information from you, such as your browser or location data or your IP address, to an individual extent.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as the processing of e.g. enables the reproduction of our website in different languages or the offer of a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b.) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are processed for contract initiation or contract processing.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or execute a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your Internet browser.

If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Internet browser or contact its manufacturer or support. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via the browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash player you are using. If you have any questions, please also use the help function or documentation of your Flash player or contact the manufacturer or user support.

However, if you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, this may mean that not all functions of our website can be used to their full extent.

Contact requests / contact option

If you register for our free newsletter, the data requested from you for this purpose, i.e. your e-mail address and – optionally – your name and address, will be transmitted to us. At the same time, we store the IP address of the Internet connection from which you access our website as well as the date and time of your registration. As part of the further registration process, we will obtain your consent to send you the newsletter, describe the content in detail and refer you to this privacy policy. We use the data collected exclusively for sending the newsletter – in particular, it is therefore not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR.

The access option lies exclusively with LinkedIn.

General linking to profiles with third-party providers

The provider uses a link on the website to the social networks listed below.

The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The provider has a legitimate interest in improving the quality of use of the website.

The plugins are integrated via a linked graphic. Only by clicking on the corresponding graphic is the user redirected to the service of the respective social network.

Once the customer has been forwarded, the respective network collects information about the user. This is initially data such as IP address, date, time and page visited. If the user is logged into their user account on the respective network during this time, the network operator may be able to assign the information collected about the user’s specific visit to the user’s personal account. If the user interacts via a “Share” button of the respective network, this information can be stored in the user’s personal user account and published if necessary. If the user wants to prevent the collected information from being directly assigned to their user account, the user must log out before clicking on the graphic. It is also possible to configure the respective user account accordingly.

The following social networks are linked by the provider:

“Shariff” social media buttons

We use the plug-ins of the following social networks on our website. We use the “Shariff” plug-in to integrate these plug-ins.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.

Shariff is an open source program developed by c’t and heise. By integrating this plug-in, linked graphics prevent the social network plug-ins named in more detail below from automatically establishing a connection to the respective server of the social network plug-in when you visit our website(s), on which the respective social network plug-in is integrated.

Only then will the respective social network collect information about the usage process. This information includes, for example Your IP address, the date and time as well as the page you visited on our website.

If you are logged in to one of the social network services while you visit one of our websites with the corresponding plug-in, the provider of the respective social network may be able to recognize the information collected about your specific visit and assign it to your personal user account or publish it. For example, if you use the so-called “Share” button of the respective social network, this information may be stored in your user account there and published via the platform of the respective social network provider. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of the respective social network before clicking on the graphic or make the appropriate settings in your social network user account.

Usage and user-related information, such as IP address, location, time or frequency of visits to our website are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The add-on informs the JavaScript (ga.js) of Google Analytics that information about visits to our website should not be transmitted to Google Analytics.

Our legitimate interest lies in improving the quality of our website.

Without this “extended data protection”, a connection to the YouTube server in the USA is established as soon as you access one of our Internet pages on which a YouTube video is embedded.

This connection is necessary in order to be able to display the respective video on our website via your Internet browser. In the course of this, YouTube will at least record and process your IP address, the date and time and the website you visited. In addition, a connection to the “DoubleClick” advertising network from Google is established.

If you are logged in to YouTube at the same time, YouTube will assign the connection information to your YouTube account. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of YouTube before visiting our website or make the appropriate settings in your YouTube user account.
