Data collection and analysis
The website provider automatically stores information in so-called server log files which your browser automatically sends us. These are:
• accessed page or name of the retrieved file
• quantity of data transferred and notification whether access was successful
• browser type and version
• operating system used
• referrer URL (the website from which you visit us)
• anonymised IP address
• date and time of server request
This data cannot be attributed to specific persons and is not merged with other data sources. The data is not used for commercial purposes.
It merely serves to
• ensure a smooth connection to the website
• allow the website to be easily operated
• support system security and stability.
For the statistical evaluation of our website, we use the free web analysis software AWStats. The programme does not employ cookie files for the evaluation but merely evaluates the server log files. All data is stored on servers subject to German data protection law. The data is used exclusively by us. No data is transferred to third parties.
The data processing described above is based on Article 6 (1), 1f of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our legitimate interest arises from the above purposes for data collection.
Personal data
As a rule, the use of our website is possible without providing personal data (e.g. name, address or email address). Where such data is collected, this is done pursuant to Article 6 (1), 1a GDPR exclusively on a voluntary basis and with your consent. Without your express permission, this data will not be transferred to third parties and is only used for the purposes of which you have notified us. Data is only transferred to authorised state institutions and authorities where there is a statutory duty to disclose or if we are obliged to disclose such information by a judicial decision.
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of processing the data and where there is no legal requirement to store it.
Cookies
Some Internet websites use so-called cookies. These are small text files downloaded onto your computer and stored by your browser. They cause no damage to your computer and contain no viruses. They are designed to make our services more user-friendly, efficient and secure.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies” deleted automatically once you leave our website. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. They enable us to recognise your browser on your next visit.
We use cookies for the following purposes:
• Session cookies contain the user status to make this session information available across all pages of the website.
• A “fly-in” dialogue box cookie is used for information inserted via popup windows.
• The “resolution” cookie saves the screen resolution.
In the privacy and security options in the menus of standard browsers, you can delete cookies or configure your browser to delete cookies and site data when the browser is closed. In addition, you can find information on the cookie settings in the manual of the browser you use.
Social plugins
On our webpages, we use the social plugins of the Facebook, Twitter and Instagram social networks. Under certain circumstances, information – which may include personal data – is sent to the service providers and may be used by them. We use a “2-click solution” to prevent the unconscious and unintentional collection and transfer of data to the service providers. To activate a desired plugin, you must click on the corresponding button. Only with the activation of the button is the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider triggered.
We do not collect any personal data ourselves through social plugins or their use and have no influence over the data collected by an activated plugin and how a provider uses such data. It must presently be assumed that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. Similarly, there is a possibility that service providers may attempt to store cookies on the computers used.
Facebook's share function builds a direct connection to the services of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. Through this process, Facebook is informed precisely which page of our website is being visited. If you are logged on to Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as the visitor of a particular page. For information on which data is collected and how it is used, refer to Facebook’s privacy policy. Facebook additionally provides information on ways to protect your private sphere.
Twitter's social plugin builds a direct connection to the services of Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. Through this process, Twitter is informed precisely which page of our website is being visited. For information on which data is collected and how it is used, refer to Twitter’s privacy policy. Twitter additionally provides information on ways to protect your private sphere.
Instagram's social plugin creates a link with the services of Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. Through this process, Instagram is informed precisely which page of our website is being visited. For information on which data is collected and how it is used, refer to Instagram’s privacy policy.
If you are logged onto your Facebook, Twitter or Instagram account, you enable the service providers to use their respective social plugins to connect your surfing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your account.
Mobile devices offer the additional option of sharing website contents via the WhatsApp messenger service. This simply generates an HTML link so that no user data is transferred to third parties.

Data security
For visits to our website, we employ the widely used Secure Socket Layer (SSL) procedure in conjunction with the highest level of encryption which your browser supports. This is usually a 256 Bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256 Bit encryption, we revert instead to 128 Bit v3 technology. From the closed symbol in the lower status bar of your browser, you can see whether an individual page of our website is being downloaded in encrypted form.
We use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or deliberate manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
