2. Social-Media-Plug-ins

Social Networks
We use Plug-ins from various social networks. A social network is a platform or app that enables users to communicate with each other, exchange opinions or share content such as images with other users or on the social network itself. Users usually have the possibility to create private or business profiles, to network with each other or to provide private or company-related information. 

The respective plug-in provider saves the data collected about you as user profiles. The purpose of the processing is to display (demand-oriented) advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of the website and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. The evaluation also takes place if you are not logged on to the social network. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles. To exercise your right of objection, you must contact the respective plug-in provider. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 Para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest in the processing results from the processing purposes mentioned above.

Matomo (formerly Piwik)
This website uses Piwik. Piwik is an open source software for statistical analysis of user access to websites (piwik.org). Piwik uses "Cookies" to evaluate user access.  This information is only stored on our servers in Germany.

By deleting existing cookies and preventing the storage of cookies, you can prevent the evaluation of this data. It is possible to prevent cookies from being stored by setting your browser. If you prevent the use of cookies, there may be restrictions on the use of the website. We use Piwik with the extension “AnonymizeIP”. As a result, IP addresses are only processed further in abbreviated form. Direct personal contact is therefore excluded. The IP address transmitted by your browser using Piwik will not be merged with other data collected by us.

6. Data security

When you visit this website, the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure is used. This is usually a 256 bit encryption. If the browser used by the user does not support 256-bit encryption, 128-bit v3 technology is reverted to. The encrypted transmission of a page of this website can be recognised by the key or lock symbol in the status bar of the browser.

In addition to SSL encryption, technical and organisational security measures are used to protect the data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties. These security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
