It is not necessary to provide personal data in order to visit our website. Where there is an option to provide such data (e.g. on a contact form), this is on a purely voluntary basis. No personal data collected on this website will be shared with third parties, thereby preventing the transmission or processing of personal data to or in countries outside of the European Union.

Collection of Personal Data at this Website

The technology that allows internet pages to be displayed in your browser requires that the IP address of the device you are using be processed, along with additional information about your browser and your browsing history.

  • Operating system
  • Browser type, browser version, and browser language
  • Page viewed
  • Amount of data transmitted
  • URL from which the page was accessed
  • Connection status

The IP address will be deleted from all systems used in connection with the operation of this website after no more than seven days (in compliance with applicable law). The other data that is logged cannot be used to identify an individual.

Cookies

To enhance your experience on our website, we use so-called ‘session cookies’. Session cookies are small units of information that are stored by websites in the browser memory of the visitor’s computer or mobile device. With a session cookie, a randomly generated unique identification number, or ‘session ID’, is stored. In addition, these cookies contain information about their origin and their expiration date. Session cookies are not able to store any other data. In contrast to permanent cookies, which can recognise visitors even after long periods of time, the session cookies that we use are deleted when you leave our website. We also use cookies for web analysis, and these expire after 3 hours (see below). You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by changing your browser settings. However, we would like to point out that if you do so, you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website. Cookies cannot install or open any programs or other applications on your computer. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) of the EU-GDPR in connection with §15 of the German Telemedia Act (TMG). Our ‘interest’ within the context of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) is the operation of this website.
