  1. The use of social media plugins

We use so-called social plugins (hereinafter referred to as buttons) which link to social networks such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube, etc. When you visit our website, these buttons are disabled by default, which means they do not send any information to the social networks in question without action on your part. Before you can use these buttons, you have to click to enable them. The buttons remain enabled until you disable them again or you delete your cookies. Once they have been enabled, the system connects directly to the server of the social network selected. The content of the button is then transferred directly from the social networks to your web browser, which incorporates them into the website you are visiting. As soon as you have enabled a button, the social network in question can collect data, irrespective of whether or not you use the button.

Please note that we have no influence over the scope of data collected by the social networks through social network buttons. Please refer to the data protection statement published by the social networks in question for more information about the scope and purpose of the data collection and how they process and use such data, as well as the rights and setting options to protect your privacy.

 

  1. Cookies by Google

Google Analytics

The website uses Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Given the discussions about the use of analytic tools collecting full IP addresses, we would like to point out that on this website only truncated IP addresses will be processed to exclude any direct link to a particular individual, as we use Google Analytics in the enhanced mode.

Due to the activation of the IP anonymization, Google will truncate/anonymize the last octet of the IP address for Member States of the European Union as well as for other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases, the full IP address is sent to and shortened by Google servers in the USA. On behalf of the website provider Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services to the website operator relating to the use of the website and internet. Google will not combine your IP address transferred by your browser in the context of Google Analytics with any other data held by Google.

You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser; however, please note that if you do this, you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website.
