Cookies
Our full cookie policy can be found further down on the website.
Our website uses cookies – small text files stored by your browser on your device. Cookies help us make our services more user-friendly, effective, and secure.
Some cookies are “session cookies” and are deleted automatically after your browser session ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them manually. These cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website.
Modern web browsers allow you to monitor, restrict, or block cookies. Many browsers can be configured to delete cookies automatically when closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Google Analytics
Our website uses the Google Analytics web analytics service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

The setting of Google Analytics cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We, as the website operator, have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize our web offering and advertising.

Demographic Features in Google Analytics
Our website uses the “demographic features” function in Google Analytics, which allows reports containing information about age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from interest-based advertising from Google and third-party visitor data. It is not possible to assign this data to a specific person. You can disable this feature at any time via your Google account ad settings or by prohibiting Google Analytics from collecting your data, as explained in “Opt-out of Data Collection.”

Google AdWords and Conversion Tracking
Our website uses Google AdWords, provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
As part of the online advertising program, we use conversion tracking. After clicking on a Google ad, a conversion-tracking cookie is placed on your device. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. They allow Google and us to see that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to our site.
Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie, which cannot be tracked across AdWords customers’ websites. Conversion statistics tell us how many users clicked our ad and reached a page with a conversion-tracking tag. We do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
If you do not want to participate in tracking, you can opt out by disabling the conversion cookie in your browser settings.
The storage of conversion cookies is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to improve our web offering and advertising.
For details about Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking, please see Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict, or prevent cookies from being set. Disabling cookies may result in limited functionality on our website.
