Unless otherwise stated below, the provision of your personal data is neither required by law or contract, nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the data. Failure to provide the data has no consequences. This applies only insofar as no other indication is given in the processing operations described below.
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person.

The data processing serves the purpose of analysing this website and its visitors as well as marketing and advertising purposes. To this end, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services associated with website use and internet use. In this context, the following information, among other things, may be collected: IP address, date and time of the page view, click path, information about the browser you use and the device you use, pages visited, referrer URL (website via which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activities. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.

Your data may be linked by Google with other data, such as your search history, your personal accounts, your usage data from other devices and any other data Google holds about you.
IP anonymisation is activated on this website. As a result, your IP address is first truncated by Google within 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 transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

Plug-ins and miscellaneous


Use of the Google Tag Manager
We use on our website the Google Tag Manager of Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland; "Google").
This application is used to manage JavaScript tags and HTML tags that are used to implement, in particular, tracking and analysis tools. The data processing serves the purpose of the needs-based design and optimisation of our website.
The Google Tag Manager itself neither stores cookies nor does it process personal data. However, it enables the triggering of further tags that may collect and process personal data.
Further information on the terms of use and data protection can be found here (https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/use-policy.html).
Use of social plug-ins
We use on our website plug-ins of social networks. The integration of social plug-ins and the data processing that takes place in this context serve the purpose of optimising the advertising of our products.
When social plug-ins are integrated, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the providers of the social network and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notification to your browser, provided that you have expressly consented to this. In this context, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in with the social network. Transmission also takes place for users who are not registered or not logged in. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected may also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
Cookies or comparable technologies are used with your consent on the basis of Section 25 (1) sentence 1 TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

Use of social plug-ins by means of "Shariff"
We use on our website plug-ins of social networks. So that you retain control over your data, we use the privacy-safe "Shariff" buttons.
Without your express consent, no connections to the servers of the social networks are established and consequently no data is transmitted.
"Shariff" is a development by the specialists of the computer magazine c't. It enables more privacy on the internet and replaces the usual "share" buttons of the social networks. More information on the Shariff project can be found here https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html (https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html).
When you click on the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider with your data. Only after this active login by you is a direct connection to the social networks established.
By logging in, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. In this context, among other things, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can prevent this assignment only by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks named below are integrated by means of the "Shariff" function.
Further information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as on your rights in this respect and on ways to protect your privacy can be found in the linked privacy notices of the providers.

Where applicable, your data is transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision of the EU Commission for the USA.

Use of social plug-ins by means of the "2-click solution"
We use on our website plug-ins of social networks by means of the "2-click solution". In this case, without your express consent, no connections to the servers of the social networks are established and consequently no data is transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you call up the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a connection is established between your computer and the servers of the providers of the social network and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notification to your browser. In this context, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in with the social network. Transmission also takes place for users who are not registered or not logged in. If you are additionally logged in to the social network Facebook, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can prevent only by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button initially. You can recognise this by the greyed-out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no connection to the server of the social network is established and consequently no data is transmitted.
Only when you activate the button does the button become active (highlighted in colour) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.
By activating it, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. In this context, among other things, both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted. If you are simultaneously connected to one or more of your social network accounts, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can prevent this assignment only by logging out of your user accounts with the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The social networks named below are integrated by means of the "2-click function".
