Cookies
We use cookies and similar technologies (“cookies”) on our website. Cookies are small data records that are stored by your browser when you visit a website. This identifies the browser used and can be recognized by web servers. You have full control over the use of cookies through your browser. You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser. You can object to the use of cookies through your browser settings in principle or for certain cases.
The use of cookies is in part technically necessary for the operation of our website and is therefore permitted without the user's consent. In addition, we may use cookies to offer special functions and content as well as for analysis and marketing purposes. These may also include cookies from third-party providers (so-called third-party cookies). We only use such technically unnecessary cookies with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR or Art. 13 para. 1 FADP. Information on the purposes, providers, technologies used, stored data and the storage duration of individual cookies can be found in the cookie settings of our Consent Management Tool.
Consent management tool
This website uses a consent management banner to control cookies. The consent banner enables users of our website to give their consent to certain data processing procedures or to revoke their consent. By confirming the “I accept” button or by saving individual cookie settings, you consent to the use of the associated cookies. The legal basis under data protection law is your consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR or Art. 13 para. 1 FADP.
In addition, the banner helps us to provide evidence of the declaration of consent. For this purpose, we process information on the declaration of consent and further log data on this declaration. Cookies are also used to collect this data. The processing of this data is necessary in order to be able to prove that consent has been given. The legal basis arises from our legal obligation to document your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 letter c in conjunction with Art. 7 para. 1 GDPR).
You can withdraw your consent for cookies here:
Analysis of our website and tracking
Matomo
Software for measuring reach. Access to our website is recorded and analyzed anonymously without the use of tracking cookies. The IP address is anonymized immediately after it is collected and before it is stored. No further processing of personal data therefore takes place when Matomo is used.
This data processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interests in measuring reach and statistically analyzing the use of our website. The processing is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR or Art. 13 para. 1 FADP and is necessary for our legitimate interest in optimizing our offer and, if possible, avoiding the processing of personal data.
You can object to this data processing altogether. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie will be stored in your browser. As a result, no session data will be collected via Matomo. If you delete your cookies in your Internet browser, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted. If you visit our website again, you will then have to make your objection again.
New Relic
Our website uses New Relic, an analytics service provided by New Relic Inc (New Relic/USA). New Relic is a web analysis tool that collects the user data of a website in order to analyze and monitor the performance of the website, for example to improve the loading times of individual parts of the website. Some of this data is information that is stored on the device you are using. In addition, other information is also stored on your device via the cookies used. Such storage of information by New Relic or access to information that is already stored on your device only takes place with your consent.
The setting of cookies and the further processing of personal data described here takes place with your consent. The legal basis for data processing in connection with the New Relic service is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR and Art. 13 para. 1 FADP.
Further information on these processing activities, the technologies used, stored data and the storage period can be found in the settings of our Consent Management Tool.
When using New Relic, the transfer of data to New Relic Inc. in the USA cannot be ruled out. Please refer to the information in the section “Data transfer to third countries”. Further information on data protection and the cookies used can be found on the Internet at http://newrelic.com/privacy.
