Dealing with comments and posts
If you leave a post or comment on this website, your IP address will be saved. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1(f) of the GDPR and serves the security of us as a website operator. If your comment violates applicable law, we can be prosecuted, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the author of the comment or post.
Visitor Analytics
Visitor Analytics ist ein einfacher Website Analysedienst, der den Verkehr und das Verhalten des Besuchers auf der Website des Kunden misst. Das Ganze dient vor allem der Verbesserung der Usability der Website für den Kunden (z.B. welche Seiten werden besucht? wo sind diese in der Struktur der Website verortet?, wo kommt der Besucher an und welche Verweise nutzt der Besucher?)
Visitor Analytics is a simple website analytics service which measures the traffic and visitor behaviour on the customer’s website. The whole thing mainly serves to improve the usability of the website for customers (e.g. which pages are visited? Where are they located in the website’s structure? Where do the visitors arrive and which links do they use?)
Essentially, we use cookies, as the owners of the website via Visitor Analytics, information on the type of device used by the user, the screen site, assumed geographical location, browser, OS IPs, page hits, the bounce rate, and the website’s most frequently visited content. All this data is anonymized and Visitor Analytics will never use this information to identify individual persons or connect them to other data sources in order to identify individual persons. All visitors have full control of the cookie placement at all times.
How to control the cookies: you can control the cookies or switch them off completely if you wish by making the corresponding settings in your browser. You can read how this works in greater detail at aboutcookies.org
​
For further information, please also refer to Visitor Analytics’ Terms Of Use, Cookie Information and Opt-Out / Do Not Track.

Google Analytics
Due to the legitimate interest in the optimization and analysis of our online service as per Art. 6 Para. 1(f) of the GDPR, this website uses the service “Google Analytics”, which is provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). The service (Google Analytics) uses “cookies” – text files stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the US and stored there.
​
Google LLC complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield agreement:
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active
​
This website uses IP anonymization. The user’s IP address is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area, as well as in other signatory countries to the agreement. Only in isolated cases is the IP address transferred in an unshortened format to a Google server in the USA and then shortened there. The personal connection to your IP address is ended by this shortening. The user’s IP address provided by the browser will not be combined with other data stored by Google.
Within the framework of the agreement on commissioned data, which we have concluded as website operator with Google Inc., the latter uses the information collected to create an evaluation of website use and website activity and provides services associated with Internet use.
​
The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online offer by individual users, e.g. to create reports on the activity on the website in order to improve our online offer.
You have the option of preventing the storage of cookies on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. It cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.
​
Furthermore, you can use a browser plugin to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link leads you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
Alternatively, by clicking on this link (IMPORTANT: insert opt-out link), you prevent Google Analytics from collecting data about you within this website. By clicking on the link above you download an "opt-out cookie". Your browser must therefore allow the storage of cookies for this purpose. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will need to click on the link again each time you visit this website.
