We use cookies on our site. These are small files that are automatically created by your browser and stored on your terminal device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our site. Cookies do no harm to your end device, do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware.

In the cookie, information is stored that arises in each case in connection with the specific end device used. This does not mean, however, that we gain direct knowledge of your identity.

The use of cookies serves on the one hand to make the use of our services more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site.

In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your terminal device for a certain fixed period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already been to our site and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.

On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you (see section 5). These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already been to our site when you visit it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

5. Analytics tools

Analytical Tools we use are the following: 


A. Google Analytics 

For the purpose of demand-oriented design and ongoing optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies (see under section 4 of this privacy policy) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website such as

– Browser type/version,

– operating system used,

– Referrer URL (the previously visited page),

– host name of the accessing computer (IP address),

– time of the server request,

are transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and internet use for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these web pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however, please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

As an alternative to the browser add-on, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent the collection by Google Analytics by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again.

Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found, for example, in the Google Analytics help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en).


B. Google Tag Manager 

To optimize our analytics we make use of the Google Tag Manager system (https://support.google.com/tagmanager/answer/6102821?hl=en), provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). A tag management system (TMS) is software that can be used to manage tracking tags used in digital marketing. A tag is a short snippet of code that is added to a URL to collect data for analytics and digital marketing tools. A tag management system makes it possible for marketers and analysts to deploy and manage the tags on their site without relying wholly on IT.

Tags are the special headers on websites, tracking pixels used in advertisements and content that enables web analytics.

TMSs are used by marketers to manage digital marketing tags from various advertising services. TMSs serve to make changes to existing advertising services and between services easier and more agile. The systems manage tags for webpages, videos and apps. Real-time advertising is aided by TMS.

TMSs enable faster page loading performance and less complicated changes with less possible site outages. They allow changes to be made to tags such as trying a new service by simply adding the code snippet to the manager, setting rules and going live with the changes in as little as ten minutes without IT involvement.

Normally, changing from one ad tracking system to another or removing one of a number of used systems takes coordinated teams and the server updates can take weeks to complete. A tag management system replaces the tags used on a page with a container. Along with the tags themselves, the container code is used by tag managers to check rules in the software’s back-end for changes.

Further information on data protection in connection with the Google Tag Manager can be found, for example, in the Google Tag Managers Terms of Service (https://marketingplatform.google.com/about/analytics/tag-manager/use-policy/#:~:text=We%20may%20collect%20information%20such,Google%20product%20without%20Your%20consent.) and the Google Privacy Policy where the Terms of Service point (https://policies.google.com/privacy).


C. SharpSpring 


To facilitate a high standard of quality of our services and effectively manage our customer relationships we also make use of the CRM platform SharpSpring (https://sharpspring.com/contact-us/)( SharpSpring, Inc., located at 5001 Celebration Pointe Avenue, Suite 410,Gainesville, FL, USA). Like other CRM systems SharpSpring allows us to keep our customer data (contacts, communication history and buying history) in one place so that everybody in our organization can have access to such information whenever they need to do so.

Further information on data protection in connection with SharpSpring you can find, for example, on their privacy policy (https://sharpspring.com/legal/privacy/).

6. Social Media Plug-ins

We use social plug-ins of the social networks Facebook, and Instagram on our website on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in order to expand the outreach of our company. The underlying promotional purpose is to be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. The responsibility for data protection-compliant operation is to be ensured by their respective providers. The integration of these plug-ins by us takes place by way of the so-called two-click method in order to protect visitors to our website as best as possible.

a) Facebook

Social media plug-ins from Facebook are used on our website. For this purpose, we use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button. This is an offer from Facebook.

When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser, which then integrates it into the website.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly assign your visit to our website to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.

Facebook may use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and demand-oriented design of the Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook.

If you do not want Facebook to assign the data collected via our website to your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

b) Instagram

So-called social plugins (“plugins”) from Instagram are also used on our website, which are operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”).

The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example in the form of an “Instagram camera”.

When you call up a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Instagram. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Instagram directly to your browser and integrated into the page. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser has called up the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged into Instagram.

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to an Instagram server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly assign your visit to our website to your Instagram account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Instagram” button, this information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and stored there.

The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed there to your contacts.

If you do not want Instagram to directly assign the data collected via our website to your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website.

For more information, please see the privacy policy (https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388) of Instagram.
