Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google will use this information on our behalf to analyse the use of the website, compile reports on website activities and to render additional services associated with website use and internet use to the website operator.

You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the corresponding settings in your browser software. You should be aware, however, that by doing so you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website.

We would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics with the «anonymizeIp()» function, which abbreviates IP addresses and prevents them from being traced to a specific user.

We also use Google Analytics reports to log demographic characteristics and interests.

The data sent by us and associated with cookies, user IDs or advertising IDs will be automatically deleted after 14 months. Data, for which the retention period has been fulfilled, will be automatically deleted once a month.

We use the AWStats program in order to be able to statistically evaluate our websites. The program is a free web analysis software. It is used to evaluate log files created by the web server on the basis of visitor enquiries. The program does not use cookie files for the evaluation. The anonymised statistical analysis is carried out via the log files, which also contain IP addresses. These files are not generally attributable to specific persons. These data are not associated with other data sources, and the data are deleted after the statistical evaluation.

Unlike other statistics programs, AWStats does not transfer data to external servers. The program is installed on our own hosting package. This also prevents any transfer of data abroad, since our server is located in Germany.

Functions of the YouTube service are embedded in our websites in order to display and replay videos. These functions are provided by YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave. San Bruno, CA 94066 USA. You can find further information in the YouTube privacy policy.

This uses the extended data protection mode, which according to the provider only initiates the storage of user information when the video is played.

If the replay of embedded YouTube videos is started, YouTube uses cookies in order to collect information about user behaviour. According to YouTube, these are used to collect video statistics in order to improve the user experience and to prevent misuse. Regardless of whether the embedded video is replayed, a connection with the “DoubleClick” Google network will be established every time our website is accessed, which may give rise to further data processing without any influence on our part.

You can find further information on the use of cookies by YouTube in the YouTube privacy policy at: http://www.youtube.com/t/privacy_at_youtube

We reserve the right to modify this privacy policy at any time to ensure it always meets current legal requirements or in order to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy. This may, for example, relate to the introduction of a new service. The new privacy policy shall then apply on your next visit.
