Data protection

The protection of your privacy is very important to us. In the following we inform you about how we have implemented the protection of your data on our website:

General

The use of the website is basically possible for you, without registering as a user. No software or hardware techniques are used to collect personally identifiable information about the user’s e-mail address or other data. Personal data are only collected if they are given to us expressly. Your data will always be kept confidential and will only be used for the purpose for which you have given us. You have the right, upon request, to obtain information about the personal data stored about you free of charge. In addition, you have a right to correct, block and delete these data in accordance with us. This website contains links to other websites or social media sites. If you click on a link that leads to other websites of third parties, please note that these websites have their own privacy policy. Please check their privacy policy when using these websites.

Use of cookies

The website, email traffic, online services, advertising and interactive applications may use “cookies” to optimize our services.

What is a “cookie”?
A “cookie” is a sequence of text characters which we transmit to the computer’s hard drive via our web server to the cookie file of the browser. This will allow our site to recognize you when a connection is made between our web server and your browser. The main purpose of a cookie is to recognize visitors to the site, so that our web server can present you with a more personalized content, more tailored to your needs.

Two types of cookies are used on this website:
Session cookies: These are temporary cookies that remain in your browser’s cookie file until you leave our website. These cookies are necessary for certain applications or functions of the website to work properly.
Persistent cookies: We may use persistent cookies for a better user experience (e.g. to provide optimal navigation). These are cookies that remain in your browser’s cookie file for a longer period of time. This period depends on the settings of your Internet browser. Persistent cookies allow information to be transmitted to a web server each time you visit the website. Persistent cookies are also known as tracking cookies. If you would like to learn more about cookies, there are many publications available on this topic. See for example: http://www.allaboutcookies.org

Matomo

We use Matomo on our website. This is an open source software with which we can analyze the use of our website. It processes your IP address, the website(s) of our website that you visit, the website from which you switched to our website (referrer URL), the time you spend on our website and the frequency with which you visit one of our websites.To collect this data, Matomo stores a cookie on your end device via your Internet browser. This cookie is valid for one week.

The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimization of our website.

However, we use Matomo with the anonymization function “Automatically Anonymize Visitor IPs”. This anonymization function shortens your IP address by two bytes, making it impossible to assign it to you or to the Internet connection you are using.

If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the storage of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. You can find more information on this above under “Cookies”.
