[6.] Cookies
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are sent when you visit a website and are temporarily stored on the hard drive of the website user and/or customer. If the relevant server of our website is accessed again by the website user and/or customer, the website user’s and/or customer’s browser sends the previously received cookie back to the server. The server can then analyse the information obtained through this process in various ways. Cookies can, for example, be used to control the display of advertisements or to make navigating a website easier. If the website user and/or customer wishes to prevent the use of cookies, they may do so by locally adjusting their settings in the web browser used on their computer – that is, the programme used to open and view web pages (e.g. Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Opera or Safari).
The legal basis for the use of cookies is the Trade Regulation Act 1994 (GewO 1994), the Telecommunications Act 2003 (TKG 2003) and the Data Protection Act 2000 (DSG 2000).

[7.] Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (‘Google’), on the legal basis of an overriding legitimate interest (analysis of website usage). We have entered into a data processing agreement with Google for this purpose.
When you visit our website, software establishes a connection to Google’s servers and data is transmitted to Google’s servers, some of which are located in the USA. Google Analytics also uses cookies to store information about the website user and to analyse how website users use the website.
This website uses the “IP anonymisation” feature. This means that your IP address is truncated by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, thereby rendering it anonymous. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
According to Google, Google will use the data collected to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website and internet usage.
Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.
Detailed information on how user data is handled by Google Analytics can be found in Google’s privacy policy.

[8.] Contact form
Once you have submitted the contact form, the personal data you have entered will be processed by the data controller for the purpose of dealing with your enquiry, based on the consent you have given by submitting the form.
There is no legal or contractual obligation to provide personal data. Failure to provide such data simply means that you will not be able to submit your enquiry and we will not be able to process it.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time by written notice, without this affecting the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the point of withdrawal.
The data will be further processed in a manner compatible with the original purpose of processing, on the same legal basis, for the purposes of direct marketing in forms not requiring consent – such as the sending of addressed postal advertising – unless you object. In this case, the data will be passed on to the postal service provider.
You have the right to object at any time, by written notice, to the use of your personal data for the purposes of direct marketing. In the event of an objection, your personal data will no longer be processed for the purposes of direct marketing.
[9.] Facebook
This website uses various plugins from Facebook (Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA). These plugins are either labelled with the word ‘Facebook’ or appear as a blue ‘F’, the typical Facebook icon. When you visit this website, the Facebook plugins establish a connection to Facebook’s servers. Data is transmitted in the process. To prevent your personal data from being transmitted to Facebook, you should log out of Facebook before visiting this website. If you remain logged in to Facebook, information about your visit to this website may be directly linked to your Facebook account. When you interact with the plugin’s functions – for example, by clicking the ‘Like’ button – this information is sent directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. Facebook is responsible for the further processing of this information. Please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy for the relevant terms and settings.
