Cookies

I use cookies on my website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit my website. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device and do not contain any viruses, Trojans or other malware.

​

Information is stored in the cookie that results in each case in connection with the specific end device used. However, this does not mean that I gain direct knowledge of your identity. On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of my website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave the site.

​

In addition, I also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specified period of time. If you visit my site again to use my services, it will automatically recognize that you have already visited my site and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

​

On the other hand, cookies are used to statistically record the use of the website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing my offer for you. These cookies make it possible to automatically recognize that you have already visited my website when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

Tracking tools

​

The tracking measures listed below and used by me are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.

​

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.

​

Google Analytics

​

I use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter referred to as “Google”) for the purpose of designing and continuously optimizing our pages to meet your needs. In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as

​

browser type/version,

operating system used,

referrer URL (the previously visited page),

host name of the accessing computer (IP address),

time of the server request,

​

is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage for the purposes of market research and the needs-based design of this website. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that they cannot be assigned (IP masking).

​

You may refuse 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 use the full functionality of this website.

​

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for my website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

​

We also use Google Conversion Tracking to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you. Google Adwords places a cookie on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Adwords customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Adwords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.

​

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of a cookie required for this - for example, by using a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. Google's privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).
