We also use temporary cookies to enhance usability. These are stored on your device for a pre-defined period of time. If you revisit our website, it will automatically recognize that you have been here before and recall your previous inputs and settings, so you do not have to re-enter them.

5. Analytics Tools
a) Google Analytics
For the purpose of needs-based design and continuous 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, pseudonymised usage profiles are created, and cookies (see Section 4) are used.

• Referrer URL (previously visited page),
• Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address),
• Time of server request,
is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. This information is used to evaluate the use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage for purposes of market research and website customization. This information may also be transferred to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the information on Google’s behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data.
IP addresses are anonymised so that identification is not possible (IP masking).
You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, please note that in this case, not all functions of the website may be available.
Additionally, you can prevent the data generated by the cookie and related to your website use (including your IP address) from being collected and processed by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).
Alternatively, particularly for mobile browsers, you can prevent collection by Google Analytics by clicking on https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.
An opt-out cookie will be set to prevent future data collection.
This cookie applies only to this browser and website and will be stored on your device.
If you delete 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 in the Google Analytics Help Center:

b) Google Web Fonts (Offline Version)
This website uses web fonts provided by Google for consistent display of fonts.
When a page is accessed, your browser loads the required fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly.
We use the offline version, in which the Google Fonts are stored locally on our web server. The fonts are then managed using CSS like any other font family.
No IP address or other data is transferred to Google.
The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a consistent and appealing presentation of our online services, with efficiency and cost-saving considerations in mind.
If your browser does not support Web Fonts, a default font from your computer will be used.
The legal basis for use is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 (a) GDPR. This consent can be revoked at any time.
Further information about Google Web Fonts is available at: developers.google.com/fonts/faq
and in Google’s privacy policy: www.google.com/policies/privacy/

This website uses the Google Maps product by Google Inc.
By using this website, you consent to the collection, processing, and use of automatically collected data by Google Inc., its agents, and third parties.

We use the widely accepted SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption protocol during your website visit in conjunction with the highest level of encryption your browser supports.
This typically involves 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we fall back on 128-bit v3 technology.
You can identify whether a page of our website is encrypted by checking for the closed key or lock icon in your browser’s address or status bar.
We also implement appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorised access by third parties.
Our security measures are continually improved in line with technological advancements.
