Google Analytics + Cookies

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", which are text files that are stored on your computer and enable analysis of your use of our website. The information generated by the cookie is usually sent to a Google server in the USA, where it is stored. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address is first abbreviated by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address sent 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 activities, and to provide the website operator with additional services connected with website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in connection with Google Analytics is not collated with other data by Google. You can prevent the cookies from being stored by setting your browser software accordingly. However, please note that you may not then be able to make full use of all the website's functions. Furthermore, you also have the option of preventing transmission of the data created by the cookie, relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google, and its processing by Google. To do this, you need to download and install the browser plug-in available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

Twitter

Twitter functions are incorporated in the website. These functions are provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. When you use Twitter and the "retweet" function, the web pages you visit are linked to your Twitter account and made known to other users. At the same time, data is sent to Twitter.

Facebook Social Plugins

Our website uses social plugins of the facebook.com social network ("Facebook"). Facebook is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Detailed information on the functions of the individual plugins and their appearance can be found at: developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/ When you access our web pages, they create a direct connection to the Facebook servers via your browser. This means that Facebook is notified that you have accessed the particular web page.

If, at this point, you are logged onto Facebook, your visit to our website and all your interactions in connection with the social plugins (e.g. clicking the "Like" button, creating a comment etc.) can be assigned to your Facebook profile and stored with Facebook. Even if you do not have a Facebook profile, it is still possible that Facebook will store your IP address.

For information about the purpose and extent of data collection, processing and use by Facebook, please refer to the Facebook data protection guidelines at: www.facebook.com/policy.php There you will also find an overview of the possible settings in your personal Facebook profile for protecting your private sphere, and your associated rights.

To prevent Facebook collecting the above-mentioned data from your visit to our website, you should log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
