Cookies are small text files that are stored on your hard disk assigned to the browser you are using and through which certain information flows to the body that sets the cookie (in this case us). Cookies cannot run programs or transfer viruses to your computer. They serve to make the website more user-friendly and effective overall (legal basis is also Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR).

  • Transient cookies (see b)
  • Persistent cookies (see c).
  1. b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include session cookies in particular. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the shared session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
  2. c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.
  3. d) Cookies that are not absolutely technically necessary for the operation of our website (such as those in connection with external media or statistics) are only used when using the website with your consent (which can be revoked at any time). The legal basis in this respect is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. We obtain your consent by using a so-called Consent Manager. This is a tool through which you can give your consent to the use of certain cookies and manage and revoke them there. The consent you have given is stored there so that you do not have to give it again when you visit our website at a later date. In addition, we can prove that you have given your consent by storing it. We use the Consent Manager “Borlabs Cookie”. The storage takes place via an opt-in cookie in order to be able to assign the consent to a user or their device. The following information is stored in the cookie: runtime, cookie version, domain and path of the WordPress website, consent and a randomly generated user ID (this does not contain any personal information). The Consent Manager is hosted locally on our server; no data is passed on to the provider of Borlabs Cookie.

In addition, you can also revoke your consent by making the appropriate browser settings, e.g. by refusing to accept third-party cookies or all cookies.

  1. Integration of Google Analytics

(1) On this website, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of the third-party provider Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), to analyze and regularly improve the use of our website. By using Google Analytics, we receive various usage data, such as information on page views, length of visit and the origin of the user. We can use the statistics obtained to improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user.

(2) As part of the use of Google Analytics, your IP address is initially collected and stored. However, we have activated IP anonymization for storage and further processing. As a result, a so-called IP masking procedure is used by Google, i.e. your IP address is pseudonymized by shortening it before it is transmitted to a Google server in the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the

full IP address to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. As a matter of principle, therefore, no clear data about you is stored as part of the web analysis, but pseudonyms. Accordingly, only pseudonymous user profiles are created. The transmitted IP address will not be merged with other Google data. The data transmitted to Google accordingly is processed by Google in order to provide us with the commissioned web analysis services.

(3) When using Google Analytics, we have also activated the “Google signals” function. According to Google’s definition, Google signals are session data from websites and apps that Google links to users who are logged into their Google account and have activated personalized advertising. This means that the usage data collected through the use of Google Analytics (see paragraph 1 above) is linked to Google information from accounts of registered users of the Google account and used for personalized advertising, provided that the respective owner of the Google account has consented to this linking for the purpose of ad personalization.

(4) You have the option of preventing the collection and processing of your data by Google by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:

Insofar as personal data is transferred to a Google server in the USA, this is done on the basis of the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Google is certified in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). This is an agreement on data exchange between the European Union and the United States, which is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Through certification, Google has undertaken to comply with these data protection standards.

This is a tag management system (TMS) that simplifies the implementation of tools such as Google Analytics for us. The Google Tag Manager is only used by us for the corresponding implementation. The Google Tag Manager itself does not carry out any independent analyses and does not create any user profiles. Nevertheless, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transmitted to a Google server in the USA.

(2) We use Google Tag Manager to implement tools more quickly and easily on our website, which also constitutes our legitimate interest. The legal basis for the use of Google Tag Manager is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR.
