In addition, we process personal data by using certain third-party services such as social plugins. In these cases, we have taken all data protection measures required by law to ensure lawful data processing by these third-party providers.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that are stored on your data carrier and that store certain settings and data for exchange with our system via your browser. Cookies cannot run programs or transmit viruses to your computer. They serve to make the internet offer overall more user-friendly and effective. We use session cookies, which are only stored for the duration of the current visit to our website (e.g., to enable the storage of your login status during the session or the shopping cart function). A session cookie stores a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.

Server Log Files

The provider automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us when visiting the website. These are:

These data cannot be assigned to specific individuals. We do not combine this data with other data sources. However, we reserve the right to retrospectively check this data if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
