Section 7 Web Analytics
Use of Google Analytics:
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “Cookies”, text files which are stored on your computer and which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie concerning your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, in the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other States which are party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to render further services vis-a-vis the website operator in connection with the use of the website and the internet.
(2) The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.
(3) You may reject the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) for Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
As an alternative to the browser add-on – and especially for browsers found on mobile devices – you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie is set to prevent future collection of your information when you visit this site. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website; it is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will have to set the opt-out cookie again. For instructions on how to include the opt-out cookie, please go to: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/?hl=de#disable].
(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in shortened form, meaning that any personal reference can be excluded. If the data collected about you contains a personal reference, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is, therefore, deleted without delay.
(5) We use Google Analytics to analyse (and regularly improve) the use of our website. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. In exceptional cases where personal data is transferred to the USA, Google has subjected itself 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 (1) Sentence 1 Letter f GDPR.

Section 8 Use of social media plug-ins (Facebook, Instagram)
(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Instagram.
We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. You can recognise the provider of the plug-in by the identifying mark on the box and its initial letter or logo. We offer you the option to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the highlighted field (thereby activating it) will the plug-in provider receive the notification that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In addition, the data mentioned under Section 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook and Instagram, and according to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymised immediately after it is collected. By activating the plug-in, your personal data is transferred to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (for US providers in the USA). Due to the fact the plug-in provider collects data, in particular, via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser’s security settings before clicking on the greyed-out box.
(2) We have no influence over the data that is collected or the data processing procedures, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or its retention periods. We also have no information about the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider.
(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses this for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the demand-oriented design of its website. In particular, such an evaluation is carried out – including for users who are not logged in – for the purpose of presenting need-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Via these plug-ins, we offer you the possibility of interacting with social networks and other users, in order that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of plug-ins is Art. 6 (1) Sentence 1 Letter f GDPR.
(4) The data is passed on irrespective of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plug-in provider, the data we collect from you will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and, for example, link the page, the plug-in provider will also store this information in your user account and publicly share it with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as you can then avoid being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.
(5) Further information pertaining to the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider can be found in the following data protection declarations of these providers. There, you will also find further information on your rights and settings to protect your privacy.
