USE OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter: Google). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. 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 the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
The purpose of data processing is to evaluate website usage and compile reports on website activity. Based on website and internet usage, additional related services are then provided. This processing is based on the legitimate interest of the website operator.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: Browser Add-On for deactivating Google Analytics.
In addition to, or as an alternative to, the browser add-on, you can prevent Google Analytics from tracking our websites by clicking this link. This will install an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from tracking data for this website and this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.
USE OF ADOBE ANALYTICS (OMNITURE)
This website uses Adobe Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Limited ("Adobe"). Adobe Analytics uses cookies, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. If a tracking dataset is sent from a website visitor's browser to the Adobe data center, our server settings ensure that the IP address is anonymized before geolocation, i.e. the last octet of the IP address is replaced by zeros. Before the tracking packet is saved, the IP address is replaced by individual generic IP addresses.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Adobe will use this information to evaluate user use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide the website operator with other services related to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Adobe Analytics will not be merged with other Adobe data.
You can prevent cookies from being saved by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. However, users should note that if you do this, you may not be able to use all of the features of this website to their full extent.

ANALYSIS BY WIREDMINDS
Our website uses the pixel tracking technology of WiredMinds AG (www.wiredminds.de) to analyse visitor behaviour
Data is collected, processed, and stored to create user profiles under a pseudonym. Where possible and appropriate, these user profiles are completely anonymized. Cookies may be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the visitor's internet browser and are used to recognize the internet browser. The collected data, which may also contain personal data, is transmitted to WiredMinds or collected directly by WiredMinds. WiredMinds may use information left behind by visits to the websites to create anonymized user profiles. The data obtained in this way will not be used to personally identify the visitor to this website without the express consent of the data subject, and they will not be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym. If IP addresses are recorded, they are immediately anonymized by deleting the last block of numbers.
You can object to the collection, processing and storage of data at any time with future effect using the following link: Exclude from website tracking
USE OF THE SCALABLE CENTRAL MEASUREMENT METHOD
Our website uses the measurement method ("SZMnG") provided by INFOnline GmbH (https://www.INFOnline.de) to determine statistical metrics regarding the use of our services. The goal of usage measurement is to statistically determine the number of visits to our website, the number of website visitors, and their browsing behavior – based on a uniform standard procedure – and thus obtain market-wide comparable values.
For all digital offerings that are members of the Information Association for the Determination of the Distribution of Advertising Media (IVW – http://www.ivw.eu) or that participate in the studies of the Association for Online Research (AGOF – http://www.agof.de), usage statistics are regularly processed by AGOF and the Association for Media Analysis (agma – http://www.agma-mmc.de) to determine reach and published with the performance metric "Unique User," and by IVW with the performance metrics "Page Impression" and "Visits." These reach and statistics can be viewed on the respective websites.
Legal basis for processing
The measurement using the SZMnG measurement method by INFOnline GmbH is carried out with legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
The purpose of processing personal data is to compile statistics and establish user categories. These statistics serve to track and document the use of our services. User categories form the basis for targeting advertising materials and measures to suit individual interests. To market this website, usage measurement, which ensures comparability with other market participants, is essential. Our legitimate interest arises from the commercial usability of the insights gained from the statistics and user categories, as well as the market value of our website—also in direct comparison with third-party websites—which can be determined based on the statistics.
Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline, AGOF, and IVW for market research (AGOF, agma) and statistical purposes (INFOnline, IVW). Furthermore, we have a legitimate interest in making the pseudonymized data available to INFOnline for the further development and provision of interest-based advertising materials.
Type of data
INFOnline GmbH collects the following data, which is personal data according to the EU GDPR:
IP address: Every device on the Internet requires a unique address, the so-called IP address, to transmit data. The at least temporary storage of the IP address is technically necessary due to the way the Internet works. IP addresses are shortened by one byte before any processing and are only anonymized. The unabridged IP addresses are not stored or further processed.
A randomly generated client identifier: To recognize computer systems, the reach processing uses either a cookie with the identifier "ioam.de," a "local storage object," or a signature created from various automatically transmitted information from your browser. This identifier is unique to a browser as long as the cookie or local storage object is not deleted. Therefore, data can be measured and subsequently assigned to the respective client identifier even if you visit other websites that also use the measurement method ("SZMnG") of INFOnline GmbH. The cookie is valid for a maximum of one year.
Use of data
The measurement method used by INFOnline GmbH on this website collects usage data. This is done to collect performance data such as page impressions, visits, and clients, and to generate additional metrics (e.g., qualified clients). Furthermore, the measured data is used as follows:
So-called geolocation, i.e., the assignment of a website visit to the location of the visit, is carried out exclusively on the basis of the anonymized IP address and only up to the geographical level of the federal states/regions. Under no circumstances can any conclusions be drawn about a user's specific location from the geographical information obtained in this way.
The usage data of a technical client (e.g., a browser on a device) is compiled across all websites and stored in a database. This information is used for the technical estimation of socio-information such as age and gender and is passed on to AGOF service providers for further reach processing. As part of the AGOF study, socio-characteristics are technically estimated based on a random sample. These can be assigned to the following categories: age, gender, nationality, professional activity, marital status, general household information, household income, place of residence, internet usage, online interests, location of usage, and user type.
Data storage period
INFOnline GmbH does not store the full IP address. The abbreviated IP address is stored for a maximum of 60 days. Usage data in conjunction with the unique identifier is stored for a maximum of six months.
Transfer of data
The IP address, as well as the shortened IP address, will not be shared. For the creation of the AGOF study, data with client identifiers will be shared with the following AGOF service providers:
Kantar Deutschland GmbH (https://www.tns-infratest.com/)
Ankordata GmbH & Co. KG (http://www.ankordata.de/homepage/)
Interrogare GmbH (https://www.interrogare.de/)

Right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR)
For inquiries of this kind, please use the contact details at the end of this privacy policy. Please note that for such inquiries, we must ensure that the person concerned is actually the person concerned.
Right of objection
If you do not wish to participate in the measurement, you can object using the following link: https://optout.ioam.de
To guarantee exclusion from measurement, it is technically necessary to set a cookie. If you delete cookies in your browser, you will need to repeat the opt-out process using the link above.
The data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection authority.
Further information on data protection in the measurement procedure can be found on the website of INFOnline GmbH (https://www.infonline.de), which operates the measurement procedure, the data protection website of AGOF (http://www.agof.de/datenschutz) and the data protection website of IVW (http://www.ivw.eu).

USE OF SCRIPT LIBRARIES (GOOGLE WEBFONTS)
To ensure our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing across all browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries on this website, such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to prevent multiple loading. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font.
Accessing script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible – although currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes – that operators of such libraries collect data.
The privacy policy of the library operator Google can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/
USING ADOBE TYPEKIT
We use Adobe Typekit for the visual design of our website. Typekit is a service provided by Adobe Systems Software Ireland Ltd. that grants us access to a font library. To integrate the fonts we use, your browser must establish a connection to an Adobe server in the USA and download the font required for our website. This informs Adobe that our website was accessed from your IP address. For more information about Adobe Typekit, please see Adobe's privacy policy, which you can access here: www.adobe.com/privacy/typekit.html
USE OF GOOGLE MAPS
This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographic information. When you use Google Maps, Google also collects, processes, and uses data about visitors' use of the map features. Further information about data processing by Google can be found in the Google Privacy Policy. You can also change your personal data protection settings in the Privacy Center.
Detailed instructions on how to manage your data in connection with Google products can be found here.
Embedded YouTube videos
We embed YouTube videos on some of our websites. The operator of the corresponding plug-ins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plug-in, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This informs YouTube which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your browsing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
When a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.
Anyone who has deactivated cookies for the Google Ads program will not encounter such cookies when watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block cookies in your browser.
Further information on data protection at “YouTube” can be found in the provider’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/
SOCIAL PLUGINS
Our websites use social plugins from the providers listed below. You can recognize the plugins by the corresponding logo.
These plugins may send information, which may include personal data, to the service provider and may be used by them. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transmission of data to the service provider through a two-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking the corresponding button. Only by activating the plugin is the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider triggered. We do not collect any personal data ourselves through the social plugins or through their use.
We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how this data is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services is established, and that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers attempt to store cookies on the computer used. For information about the specific data collected and how it is used, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective service provider. Note: If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a specific page.
We have integrated the social media buttons of the following companies on our website:
USE OF GOOGLE REMARKETING
This website uses the remarketing feature of Google Inc. This feature is designed to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the website visitor's browser, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these pages, visitors may be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously accessed on websites that use the Google remarketing feature.
According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. If you do not wish to use Google's remarketing feature, you can generally deactivate it by configuring the appropriate settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Advertising Network Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.asp.
CHANGES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY
We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy to ensure it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, for example, when introducing new services. The new privacy policy will then apply to your next visit.
