3. Data Collection on Our Website

Cookies

Internet websites sometimes use cookies. Cookies do not damage your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help us to make our website more user-friendly, more effective, and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are what are called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser at your next visit.

You can set up your browser to tell you when a cookie is set and to only allow cookies in individual cases, to allow cookies in certain cases, or to generally exclude them, and can also activate a setting to automatically delete cookies when the browser is closed. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of the website may be limited.

Cookies that are necessary to perform the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you request are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technologically correct and optimized provision of their services. Inasmuch as other cookies are stored (e.g. cookies to analyze your surfing behavior), these will be discussed separately in this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of this website collects and automatically stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically sends to us. These include:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system that is used
• Referrer URL
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server inquiry
• IP address
• Data quantity

This data will not be combined with other data sources.
The access logs of the web server record what server inquires have taken place at what times. They contain the following data:
IP, directory protection user, date, time, pages visited, records, status code, data quantity, referrer, user agent, host name visited.
The IP addresses will be saved in an anonymized form. The last three numbers will be removed for this purpose, e.g. 127.0.0.1 becomes 127.0.0.*. IPv6 addresses will also be anonymized. Information about directory protection users will be anonymized after one day.
Error logs that record defective site visits will be deleted after seven days.
Visits over an FTP will be recorded anonymously and stored for 60 days.
The mail logs for sending emails from the web environment will be anonymized after one day and then retained for 60 days. In anonymization, all data about the sender/recipient, etc. will be removed. Only the time the email was sent and how the email was processed are retained (source ID or not sent).
Mail logs for things sent via our mail server are deleted after four weeks. The long retention period is necessary to guarantee the functionality of the mail services and in defense against spam. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which allows data to be processed to fulfill a contract or for pre-contractual measures, and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, as the website operator has a legitimate interest in storing log files for technologically correct and optimized provision of their services.

Google AdWords und Google Conversion-Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords. AdWords is an online advertising program from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

As part of Google AdWords, we use so-called conversion tracking. When you click on an ad served by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser stores on your computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification of the user. Should the user visit certain pages of the website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the website can tell that the user clicked on the ad and proceeded to that page.

Each Google AdWords advertiser has a different cookie. Thus, cookies cannot be tracked using the website of an AdWords advertiser. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for the AdWords advertisers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. However, advertisers do not obtain any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this by easily disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie by changing your browser settings. In doing so, you will not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Conversion cookies are stored based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.

For more information about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, see the Google Privacy Policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
