Service providers we are currently using

Google Analytics with Anonymization Function

We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereafter “Google”. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and thereby allow an analysis of the use of the website by you.

The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, location and frequency of your website visit, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the United States and stored there.

We use Google Analytics on our website with an IP anonymization feature. In this case, your IP address will already be shortened and thus anonymised by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our site, to compile reports on our website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or as far as third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

Google does not claim to link your IP address to any other data provided by Google. You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to fully use all functions of our website.

In addition, Google offers a deactivation option for the most popular browsers, giving you more control over what data Google collects and processes. If you enable this option, website visit information will not be sent to Google Analytics. Activation does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or any other web analytics services we may use. To learn more about the Google opt-out option and to enable this option, please visit this link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Use of Google Maps

We use the “Google Maps” component of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, “Google”, on our site.
Each time Google Maps is activated, Google sets a cookie to process user settings and data when viewing the page that integrates the Google Maps component. This cookie is usually not deleted by closing the browser but will expire after over time unless it is manually deleted by you.
If you disagree with the processing of your data, you may disable the “Google Maps” service and prevent the transmission of data to Google in this way. To do this, you must disable the Javascript feature in your browser. However, please note that in this case, you will not be able to use “Google Maps” or only to a limited extent.
Use of “Google Maps” and information obtained through “Google Maps” is subject to the Google Terms of Use: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html,  and the additional terms and conditions for “Google Maps”: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html.

Use of reCAPTCHA

To protect entry forms on our site, we use the service “reCAPTCHA” of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereafter “Google”. Through the use of this service, it can be distinguished whether the corresponding input is of human origin or abused by automated machine processing.

The following information is transferred to “Google”: the referrer URL, the IP address, the behaviour of the website visitors, information about the operating system, browser and duration, cookies, presentation instructions and scripts, the input behaviour of the user and mouse movements in the “reCAPTCHA” checkbox.

Among other things, Google uses this information to digitize books and other printed matter, as well as to optimize services such as Google Street View and Google Maps (eg house number and street name recognition).

The IP address submitted as part of “reCAPTCHA” will not be merged with any other data provided by Google unless you are logged in to your Google Account at the time you use the “reCAPTCHA” plug-in. If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behaviour on our website by “Google”, you must log out of “Google” before you visit our site or use the reCAPTCHA plug-in.

The use of the service “reCAPTCHA” obtained information is in accordance with the Google Terms of Use: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

This site uses so-called web fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform representation of fonts. When opening a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
