We do not know whether, how and by whom this data is processed and are not responsible for it. Only by clicking on the button you will land on the page of the corresponding provider.

Use of Google Charts

We use the Google Charts module on our website to display maps. By using the Google Charts module on our website, information about the use of our website, including your IP address, is transferred to a Google server when you visit the page with the integrated Google Charts module and stored there. With this transmission of data to the USA, data protection risks cannot be excluded. The transmission of data is subject to the data protection regulations and terms of use of Google, which you can find under the following links: policies.google.com/privacy/update

If you do not agree with the transmission of your data to Google Charts and the data transfer, there is the possibility to deactivate the map service by switching off the application JavaScript in your browser. The service and the map display cannot be used in this case.

Use of Matomo (formerly Piwik)

On this website, data is collected and stored using the web analysis service software Matomo (www.matomo.org), a service of the provider InnoCraft Ltd, 150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, ("Matomo") on the basis of our legitimate interest in the statistical analysis of user behaviour for optimisation and marketing purposes in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 letter f DSGVO. Pseudonymised user profiles can be created and evaluated from this data for the same purpose. Cookies may be used for this purpose. The data collected with Matomo technology (including your pseudonymised IP address) is processed on our servers. The information generated by the cookie in the pseudonymous user profile is not used to personally identify the visitor of this website and is not combined with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym.

If you do not agree with the storage and evaluation of this data from your visit, you can object to the storage and use of this data at any time by clicking on the mouse. In this case a so-called opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, which means that Matomo does not collect any session data. Please note that the complete deletion of cookies means that the opt-out cookie is also deleted and you may have to reactivate it again.

Please note that the technology "JavaScript" is used on our pages.

Use of Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies", which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

We have activated an IP anonymisation "gat._anonymizeIp();" on this website so that your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics is not combined with other Google data.

Using Google Tag Manager

This website uses the Google Tag Manager. This service allows website tags to be managed through an interface. The Google Tool Manager only implements tags. This means: no cookies are used and no personal data is collected. The Google Tool Manager triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. However, Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags to the extent that they are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Embedded You Tube Videos

On some of our websites we embed Youtube videos. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection is established to Youtube servers. This tells Youtube which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your Youtube account, Youtube can personally track your surfing behavior. You can prevent this by logging out of your Youtube account first.

If a Youtube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behaviour. If you've disabled cookies for the Google Ad program, you won't have to worry about these cookies even when watching Youtube videos. However, Youtube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you have to block the storage of cookies in your browser.

Further information on data protection at "Youtube" can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Technical standards

Our software is continuously adapted to the state of the art in case of changes. Nevertheless, we would like to point out that data protection for the transmission of data within the Internet cannot be comprehensively guaranteed according to the current state of technology. Other users of the Internet may be technically capable of interfering with network security without authorisation and of controlling the communication traffic. Our online offer contains links to other websites. We have no influence on whether their operators comply with the data protection regulations. We also have no influence on the legality of the contents of these websites. We therefore reject any responsibility for the contents of other websites.
