The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration.

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged violation.

Use of cookies
Description and scope of data processing
This website uses Google Tag Manager & Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. („Google“). Google Analytics uses so-called „cookies“.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the page previously visited), host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of server request, is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. We have also added the code „anonymizeIP“ to Google Analytics on this website. This guarantees the masking of your IP address so that all data is collected anonymously. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
Google will use this information on our behalf for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to us.

Duration of storage, possibility of objection and elimination
Cookies are stored on your computer and transmitted from it to our website. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the storage of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time.

This will install an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent the collection of data by Google Analytics for this website and for this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.
