Privacy policy
Data protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection provisions and this privacy policy.
It is generally possible to use our website without providing personal data. Where personal data, such as your name, address or email address, is collected on our pages, this is always done on a voluntary basis wherever possible. This data will not be passed to third parties without your express consent.
Please note that data transmission over the internet, for example when communicating by email, may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection against access by third parties is not possible.
Cookies
Some pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They help make our services more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files stored on your computer by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are session cookies, which are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to reject cookies in certain cases or generally, and to delete cookies automatically when you close the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

The website provider automatically collects and stores information in server log files that your browser automatically sends to us. This includes:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
This data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. It is not combined with other data sources. We reserve the right to review this data subsequently if we become aware of concrete indications of unlawful use.

Google Analytics
This website uses features of the Google Analytics web analysis service, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses cookies: text files stored on your computer that allow your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Further information about how Google Analytics handles user data is available in Google's privacy information: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by changing your browser settings. However, please note that you may then be unable to use all the features of this website fully. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie relating to your use of the website, including your IP address, and from processing that data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Objecting to data collection
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data by clicking the following link. An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent your data from being collected on future visits to this website: Disable Google Analytics.
IP anonymisation
We use the IP anonymisation feature on this website. Google therefore truncates your IP address within member states of the European Union or other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the website operator, Google uses this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide other services relating to website and internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.
Demographic features in Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics demographic features. These enable reports containing information about visitors' ages, genders and interests. This data comes from Google's interest-based advertising and visitor data provided by third parties. It cannot be attributed to a specific individual. You can disable this feature at any time in your Google account's advertising settings, or prevent Google Analytics from collecting your data altogether as described under "Objecting to data collection".

When you visit our pages, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and Facebook's server.

YouTube
Our website uses plugins from YouTube, operated by Google. The operator is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page containing a YouTube plugin, a connection is established to YouTube's servers. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited.
If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Further information about how user data is handled is available in YouTube's privacy information: https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/.
SSL encryption
This website uses SSL encryption for security and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the browser's address changes from "http://" to "https://" and a padlock symbol appears in the address bar.
When SSL encryption is enabled, third parties cannot read the data you send to us.
