a) Settings options in our Privacy Center

In our Privacy Center, you can individually configure what categories of cookie you want to allow. We distinguish between cookies for analysis and marketing cookies. Cookies for analysis enable us to measure user behavior on the website in anonymized form so that we can improve the data quality for our statistics evaluation. Marketing cookies enable us to send you information and advertising content tailored to your interests or to the contents of our website that you have viewed in the past.

b) Configuration of your browser settings

Additionally, you can configure your browser settings to your wishes and e.g. reject the storage of third-party cookies or all cookies. However, please note that if you deactivate cookies you may not be able to use all the functions of this website.

(1) Apart from using our website merely to find information, you can also use various services. For this, you usually need to provide further personal data that we use to provide the service. The data processing principles stated above also apply here.

(2) In some cases, we use external service providers to process your data. We select these service providers carefully and commit them to observe our instructions. We regularly check their compliance.

(3) Furthermore, we can pass your personal data on to third parties if we offer participation in campaigns, prize draws, conclusions of contracts, or similar services together with these partners. You will receive further information about this when you enter your personal data or, if the offer is described in more detail in this data protection declaration, below.

(4) If our service provider or partner is based in a country outside the European Economic Area (EEA), we will inform you about the consequences of this when you enter your personal data or, if the offer is described in more detail in this data protection declaration, below.

(1) If you have issued your consent to the processing of your data, you can withdraw this consent at any time. Once you have issued this revocation, it affects the admissibility of the processing of your personal data by us.

(2) If we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests (Art. 6, Section 1, p. 1, lit. f GDPR), you can object to this processing. This is the case when processing the data is especially not necessary for fulfilling a contract with you. We describe this in the following description of functions. If you express such an objection, we request that you give us the reasons why you do not wish us to process your personal data as we normally do. After you have submitted your objection with reasons, we will examine the circumstances and will either cease or alter the data processing, or explain to you our compelling legitimate grounds for continuing to process the data.

1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called cookies – text files saved on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. Usually, the information on your use of this website generated by the cookie is saved to a Google server in the USA. However, if you enable IP anonymization on this website, Google will first truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other states which have signed the European Economic Area Agreement. Only in exceptional cases will Google transfer the full IP address to a Google server in the USA and truncate it there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to analyze your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities, and to provide the website operator with other services associated with use of the website and the internet.

2) The IP address transferred by your browser to Google Analytics is not associated with any other data held by Google.

3) You can choose settings in your browser software to prevent cookies being saved for Google Analytics; however we must point out that you may then not be able to fully use all the functions of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent the transfer to Google of the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under this link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

4) This website uses Google Analytics with the “_anonymizeIp()” function. This ensures IP addresses are truncated before they are processed, which rules out personal identification. Therefore, if the data collected about you enables personal identification, it is immediately excluded and the personal data erased.

5) We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website so we can regularly improve it. Applying the statistics gained in this way, we can improve our offer and make the website more interesting for you as a user. For the exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has committed to the EU-US Privacy Shield https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework. The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Art. 6, Para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

6) Information about the third party: Google Dublin, Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Fax: +353 (1) 436 1001.
User conditions: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html
Data protection overview: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html
Data protection declaration: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

7) You can change your settings relating to analysis cookies in our Privacy Center.

(1) We use the services offered by Google AdWords in order to draw attention to our attractive offers by means of advertising material (so-called Google AdWords) on external websites. In relation to the data of the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful our individual advertising measures are. We do this because our concern is to display advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more attractive to you and to be able to make a fair calculation of our advertising costs.

(2) This advertising material is supplied by Google via so-called “Ad Servers”. For this purpose, we use Ad Server Cookies, which provide certain parameters to enable measurement of success, such as the insertion of the advertisements or clicks by the user. If you have reached our website via a Google ad, Google AdWords will save a cookie on your PC. Generally, these cookies expire after 30 days and are not intended to identify you personally. As a rule, the following are saved to this cookie as analysis values: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) plus opt-out information (marking to show that the user does not want to be contacted again).

(3) These cookies enable Google to recognize your browser. If a user visits certain of an AdWords customer’s pages and the cookie stored on his or her computer has not yet expired, Google and the customer can see the user has clicked on the ad and been directed to this website. Each AdWords customer is allocated a different cookie. This means cookies cannot be traced via the websites of AdWords customers. We ourselves do not collect and process any personal data in the advertising measures mentioned above. Google merely makes statistical evaluations available to us. Using these evaluations, we are able to see which of the advertising measures are particularly effective. We do not receive any further data collected from the use of the advertising material; in particular, we are unable to identify the users from this information.

(4) Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically makes a direct connection with the Google server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of data collected by Google by means of this tool and therefore inform you according to the state of our knowledge: by integrating AdWords Conversion, Google receives the information that you have called up the relevant part of our internet site or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can allocate the visit to your account. Even if you have not registered with Google or are not logged in, there is a possibility that the advertising provider may find your internet protocol address and save it.

(5) There are various ways in which you can prevent being involved in this tracking procedure: a) by an appropriate setting of your browser software: the suppression of third party cookies in particular will mean that you will not receive any ads from third party advertisers; b) by deactivating the cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” , https://www.google.de/settings/ads, although this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; c) by deactivating the interest-related ads of the advertising providers that form part of the self-regulating “About Ads” campaign, via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, although this setting will be deleted if you delete your cookies; d) by permanent deactivation in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser via the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We must point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this offer to their full extent.

(6) The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6 Section 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR. You can find further information on data protection at Google here: http://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy and https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html.

Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield; https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

(7) You can change your settings relating to marketing cookies in our Privacy Center.

Along with AdWords Conversion, we also use the Google Remarketing application. This is a procedure we use if we wish to contact you again. After your visit to our website, this application can be used to insert our ads into your further internet use. This is done via the cookies saved in your browser, which are used by Google to record and evaluate your user behavior in visiting various websites. In this way, Google has been able to record your prior visit to our website. According to Google’s own statements, there is no merging of your personal data with data collected as part of the remarketing process which may have been saved by Google. In particular, according to Google, a pseudonymization procedure is used in remarketing.

You can change your settings relating to marketing cookies in our Privacy Center.

(1) We use the Facebook pixel on our website in order to display our Facebook ads to Facebook users who have visited our website or indicated their interest in certain products or topics. Furthermore, using the Facebook pixel we can statistically evaluate whether users were transferred to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (conversion).

(2) We use the Facebook pixel for marketing and optimization purposes. In particular, it enables us to create more relevant and interesting Facebook ads and to improve our offer. The data we collect about you is anonymous for us, so we cannot link it to your identity. The legal basis for processing your data is Art. 6, Section 1, p. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Vores webside gør brug af tjenesten “Friendly Captcha” (www.friendlycaptcha.com).
Denne tjeneste er et tilbud fra Friendly Captcha GmbH, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Tyskland.
Friendly Captcha er en ny, privatlivsvenlig beskyttelsesløsning, der har til formål at beskytte vores webside mod automatiserede programmer og scripts (såkaldte “bots”).
Til dette formål har vi integreret en programkode fra Friendly Captcha på vores webside (f.eks. til kontaktformularer), så den besøgendes enhed kan etablere forbindelse til Friendly Captcha-serverne og få en beregningsopgave fra Friendly Captcha. Den besøgendes slutenhed løser regneopgaven, som kræver visse systemressourcer, og sender herefter resultatet til vores webserver. Vores webserver kontakter Friendly Captcha-serveren via en grænseflade og modtager svar på, om gåden er blevet løst korrekt af slutenheden. Afhængigt af resultatet kan vi forsyne forespørgsler på vores webside med sikkerhedsregler og herved henholdsvis viderebehandle eller afvise forespørgslerne.
Dataene anvendes udelukkende til at beskytte mod spam og bots som beskrevet ovenfor.
Friendly Captcha sætter og læser ikke cookies på den besøgendes slutenhed.
IP-adresser gemmes kun i hashkrypteret (en-vejs krypteret) form og tillader hverken os eller Friendly Captcha at identificere enkeltpersoner.
Hvis der gemmes persondata, vil disse data blive slettet inden for 30 dage.
Det juridiske grundlag for behandlingen er vores legitime interesse i at beskytte vores webside mod misbrug i form af bots, dvs. spambeskyttelse og beskyttelse mod angreb (f.eks. masseforespørgsler), artikel 6, stk. 1, litra f) i den generelle forordning om databeskyttelse (GDPR).
Yderligere informationer om databeskyttelse ved brug af Friendly Captcha kan findes på https://friendlycaptcha.com/legal/privacy-end-users/
