5. Online presence and website optimization

5.1. Automated processing of data

When using the areas of our website that are publicly accessible without prior registration and authentication (“logging in”), each access and each retrieval of a file deposited on the website is logged by the server on which our website is located. The storage serves internal system-related and statistical purposes, e.g. to better tailor the website to customer needs. The following are logged: Name of the retrieved file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, web browser, operating system and requesting domain. In addition, the IP addresses of the requesting computers and the Internet pages from which you visit us are logged. We are not able to assign this data to specific persons. This data is not merged with other data sources. The data is deleted after its statistical evaluation and is not passed on to third parties.

The legal basis for the processing of IP addresses is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest follows from the purposes of data collection listed above

5.2. Cookies

We collect and store data on our website in anonymized form for the purpose of making our website as user-friendly and attractive as possible for you. For this purpose, we use so-called cookies pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our interest in optimizing our website is to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned regulation. Cookies are small text files that are sent to your browser and stored on your hard drive to enable recognition of your visit, among other things. The cookie stores information that arises in connection with the specific device used in each case. However, this does not mean that we thereby obtain direct knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies serves to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. We use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our website. In addition, we also use temporary cookies for the purpose of user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a certain specified period of time. If you visit our site again to make use of our services, it will automatically be recognized that you have already visited us and what inputs and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again. We also use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you and to display information specially tailored to you. These cookies allow us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our site when you access it again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a pre-defined period of time.

Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or that a notice always appears before a cookie is created. However, the complete deactivation of cookies may mean that you cannot use all the functions of our website. The storage period for cookies depends on your intended use and is not the same for all.

5.3. Google Analytics & Google Fonts

For the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”), on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In this context, pseudonymized usage profiles are created and cookies are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as the

• browser type/version,
• operating system used,
• referrer URL (the previously visited page),
• host name of the accessing computer (IP address),
• time of the server inquiry,

are transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website and Internet use for the purposes of market research and demand-oriented design of these Internet pages. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on our behalf. Under no circumstances will your IP address be merged with other Google data. The IP addresses are anonymized so that an assignment is not possible (so-called IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of cookies through a corresponding setting in your browser software. We point out, however, that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of the website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of this data by Google, by downloading and installing this browser add-on An opt-out cookie is set that prevents future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again. Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found on the Google Analytics website.

Google Fonts

Fonts (“Google Fonts”) of the provider Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, are integrated on our website. This is done on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, whereby our legitimate interest lies in the optimization and economic operation of our website. To enable the display of certain fonts, a connection to a Google server in the USA is established when our website is called up. This allows Google to determine from which website your request has been sent and to which IP the display of the font is transmitted.

When using the plugin, such as clicking the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to your user account. You can prevent this assignment by logging out of your YouTube user account and other user accounts of the companies YouTube LLC and Google Inc. before using our website and deleting the corresponding cookies of the companies.
