Our website uses cookies in several places, some of which are necessary for the functioning of this website while some serve to make our offer more user-friendly and effective. Cookies are small text files that are stored by the browser on your device. The next time you visit our website with the same device, the information stored in cookies is sent back either to our website ("first party cookie") or to another website to which the cookie belongs ("third party cookie"). In this process, your data is collected and stored exclusively in anonymous or pseudonymous form.

All cookies that are not absolutely necessary for the operation of this website are set only after your explicit consent. In some cases, these cookies for which your consent is required are operated by companies that process data in the USA, such as Google.
 
By agreeing to the use of these cookies, you also explicitly consent to the transfer of your data to the USA (Art 49 para 1 lit a DSGVO).
 
For the USA there is no adequacy decision of the EU Commission and despite extensive measures we cannot guarantee the high EU data protection level in the USA. Your transferred data may not be deleted or further processed for any purpose. US authorities may gain disproportionate access to your data and you may not be able to effectively enforce your rights in the US. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.

1. technically necessary cookies
Cookies that are required for the basic functions of the website and that cannot be disabled. These cookies are used exclusively by us ("first party cookies").

Without your consent to the functional cookies, this content cannot be displayed. In doing so, Google stores, among other things, a unique user ID as well as information about your Google account and details about the use of Google services in cookies. If we process personal data in the process, we may do so on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and only as long as you have not deactivated the respective functional cookie. This is possible at any time with effect for the future.

In case of your consent to this cookie category, our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc ("Google"). The information generated by Google Analytics cookies about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, your IP address will be shortened and anonymized beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to 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.
 
On behalf of the operator of this website, 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. However, the IP address transmitted by the browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
 
If we process personal data in the process, we are allowed to do so because of your consent (Art 6 para 1 lit a DSGVO) and only as long as you have not deactivated the respective statistics cookie. This is possible at any time with effect for the future.
