Here is a detailed list of the cookies used by our website. For your convenience, we also offer you the ability to accept or decline cookies via the cookie settings tab that is displayed when you land on our website.

Necessary cookies

Some cookies are required to provide core functionality. The website won’t function properly without these cookies and they are enabled by default and cannot be disabled.

Preference cookies

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies help us to improve our website by collecting and reporting information on its usage.

A) Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. (“Google”). Information of the third party provider: 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, overview of data protection: http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/learn/privacy.html as well as the privacy policy: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.

Google Analytics sets several cookies named in § 12 to identify your browser. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, we have activated the IP anonymization function on this website so that your IP address is truncated 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 transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has submitted 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 DS-GVO.

On our behalf, 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 also prevent the transmission of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

This website also uses the Google Tag Manager. The Google Tag Manager is a kind of user management for our IT department, with which, for example, a link with Google Analytics can be managed more easily.

B) Hotjar

We use Hotjar to better understand the needs of our users and optimize the experience on this website. Using Hotjar’s technology, we get a better understanding of our users’ experiences (e.g., how much time users spend on which pages, which links they click, what they like and don’t like, etc.) and this helps us tailor our offerings to our users’ feedback.
Hotjar works with cookies and other technologies to collect information about our users’ behavior and about their devices (in particular, device IP address (collected and stored only in anonymized form), screen size, device type (unique device identifiers), information about the browser used, location (country only), language preferred to view our website). Hotjar stores this information in a pseudonymized user profile. The information is neither used by Hotjar nor by us to identify individual users nor is it merged with other data about individual users. The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO. For more information, please see Hotjar’s privacy policy: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/policies/privacy You can object to the storage of a user profile and information about your visit to our website by Hotjar as well as the setting of Hotjar tracking cookies on other websites via this link: https://www.hotjar.com/legal/compliance/opt-out

Marketing cookies

Marketing cookies are used to track the browsing habits of visitors across websites to allow publishers to display relevant and engaging advertisements.

A) DoubleClick by Google

This website continues to use the online marketing tool “DoubleClick by Google”. DoubleClick uses cookies named in § 12 to serve ads that are relevant to users, to improve campaign performance reports or to prevent a user from seeing the same ads more than once. Google uses a cookie ID to record which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being displayed more than once. In addition, DoubleClick can use cookie IDs to record so-called conversions that are related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a DoubleClick ad and later calls up the advertiser’s website with the same browser and buys something there. According to Google, DoubleClick cookies do not contain any personal information.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with Google’s server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our knowledge:
Through the integration of DoubleClick, Google receives the information that you have called up the corresponding part of our website or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or have not logged in, there is the possibility that the provider learns your IP address and stores it. Google has submitted to the EU-US Privacy Shield and thus guarantees compliance with the EU data protection standard.
Further information on DoubleClick by Google can be found at
https://www.google.de/doubleclick, as well as on data protection at Google in general:
https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. You can prevent participation in this tracking procedure in various ways:
by adjusting your browser software accordingly; in particular, the suppression of third-party cookies will result in you not receiving ads from third-party providers;

by disabling conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com”, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, which setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies;

by disabling interest-based ads from the providers that are part of the “About Ads” self-regulatory campaign, through the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, with this setting being deleted when you delete your cookies;

by permanently deactivating them in your Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome browser at the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin.

We would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of the services on our website to their full extent.

B) Facebook Custom Audiences 

In order to make you interesting offers related to you, we transmit your data encrypted and anonymized to Facebook. In this way, our ads are displayed primarily to those for whom they are interesting. For this procedure, which is very common in marketing, we use “Facebook Custom Audiences”. In this process, we do not pass on your name, email or personal information to Facebook in plain text, but upload it in encrypted form. In this way, we ensure that no third parties gain access to your data and that you will not suffer any disadvantage as a result.

Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection with the Facebook server. We have no influence on the scope and further use of the data collected by Facebook through the use of this tool and therefore inform you according to our state of knowledge:
Through the integration of Facebook Custom Audiences, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding web page of our website, or clicked on an ad from us. If you are registered with a Facebook service, Facebook can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Facebook or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider will learn and store your IP address and other identifying features. Deactivation of the “Facebook Custom Audiences” function is possible for logged-in users at https://www.facebook.com/settings/?tab=ads. Further information on data processing by Facebook is available at https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy.

C) Facebook Pixel

We also use the so-called “Facebook Pixel” to create Facebook Custom Audiences. When you visit our website and also when you perform certain actions, the Facebook Pixel is triggered and the visit or action is reported to Facebook anonymously and registered by Facebook. Based on the collected data, Facebook can tell us how successful our website is. In a second step, it is also determined for which user groups which of our offers are interesting. These user groups can then be re-advertised by us as potentially interested parties, this is called “remarketing”.

By submitting the declaration of consent when creating your user account, you consent to data processing by us via “Facebook Custom Audiences”. You can revoke this consent with effect for the future at any time by informing us of your revocation, e.g. at the e-mail address given in the imprint.

Neither this website nor its legal representatives are responsible for the content or the veracity of the privacy policies of the third parties mentioned in this Cookie Policy.
