Technically required data
If you access this website without logging in or registering, the operator and the hosting provider will automatically collect information of a general nature. Such information is collected based on our legitimate interest within the realms of Art. 6 S. 1 lit. f. DSGVO. The information collected (the so-called server log files) include the type of your web browser, the operating system you use, the domain name of your internet service provider, the IP address, the time and duration of access, the requested pages, the amount of data transferred and the referrer’s URL. This information cannot be used to draw conclusions about you personally. Collecting such information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the contents of this website and is considered mandatory when using the internet.
Anonymised information of this kind is statistically evaluated by us to optimize this internet presence and the underlying technology. Such information is also used to operate our website including its functions and content, to perform range measurements, to answer inquiries and to communicate with our users.
Cookies
Like many other websites, this website uses so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a web server to your computer. By doing that, the operator automatically receives certain data such as your IP address, browser, your computer’s operating system and your connection to the Internet. Temporary cookies or so-called „session cookies“ contain information that relates to your current visit to our website. Temporary cookies are deleted after you have finished your visit to this website or when you close your browser. Persistent cookies usually contain information about your login status, custom settings or your interests on this website, which are used for range measuring or other marketing purposes. Persistent cookies remain on your computer even after you close your browser. Please note that third party services or tools that are used on this website (e.g. Google Analytics) may also store cookies on your computer.
Cookies can not be used to launch programs or to transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, the operator can facilitate easy navigation and make sure that this website is displayed correctly. In no case will the operator transfer personal data collected by the operator to third parties or link it with other personal data without your consent.
Of course you can also view this website without using cookies. Internet browsers are usually set to accept cookies. You can deactivate the acceptance of cookies by your browser in your browser settings. You can also delete previously saved cookies from your computer. Please use the help function of your internet browser to find out how to change your cookie settings or how to delete cookies from your computer. You may also generally object to the use of cookies for marketing purposes.

Analysis and marketing services
By using the following analysis and marketing services the operator of this website would like to understand your reading behaviour on this website in order to improve its content. You can object to the data collection and processing for this purpose as described in the following sections.
Google Analytics
This website facilitates Google Analytics (Google Inc.) or performance analysis. Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“, text files that are stored on your computer and that allow us to analyse how you use our website. The information that is collected by the cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. This website, however, has activated anonymized IP addresses. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within the European Union before transmitting it to a Google server in the USA. Only in a few exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there.
On the operator’s behalf, Google will use the collected information to analyse how you use this website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website performance. The IP address provided by Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies on your computer in your browser settings. However, in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full. Also, you may prevent data collection by Google through cookies and the analysis of your using our website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the following browser add-on: Browser Add On to disable Google Analytics
In addition or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on this website by clicking on „Disable Google Analytics“. In this case, an opt-out cookie will be installed on your computer. This will prevent data collection by Google Analytics for this website and for this browser for as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.
Google provides further information on data collection and processing, and presents options to change your settings or object to data collection on the following websites. Please refer to https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/partners for information on how Google uses data on partner web sites and apps.

Integration of third-party services and content
On this website, third-party services may be used in order to display videos, maps and other content.

The operator make every effort to include as little external content as possible on this website and only to include content whose providers use your IP address solely to provide the requested content. However, third parties may also use so-called „pixel tags“ or „web beacons“ to statistically analyze information such as the amount of traffic on visited websites. Such information may be stored in a non-pseudonymous form in cookies on your computer. This includes information about your browser or the operating system of your computer, information about referring websites, visiting hours and duration, and the pages visited on this website. This data can be linked to information from other sources.
