You can visit our websites without providing any personal information.
Every time you access our website, usage data is transmitted to us or our web host/IT service provider through your Internet browser and stored in protocol data (so-called server log files).

The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the trouble-free operation of our website and to improve our offering.

Use of social plug-ins using the “2-click solution”

We use social network plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution". No connections are established to the social network servers without your express consent and consequently no data is transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you access the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the provider of the social network, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by a message to your browser. Both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for unregistered or unlogged users. If you are also logged in to the Facebook social network, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button initially. You can recognize this by the grayed-out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link will be established to the social network server and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button, the button becomes active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.
By activating, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. This will include, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts on the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The social networks named below are integrated using the "2-click function". Further information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of data as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy can be found in the linked data protection notices of the providers.
