(1) If you only visit our website to inform yourself (i.e. if you do not register or otherwise inform us, e.g. by entering in a form), we only collect the personal data that your browser sends to our server transmitted. If you wish to view our website, we collect data that is technically necessary for us to be able to view the website and to ensure stability and security. These are:

We also store the aforementioned data in the log files of our system. Storage with other data concerning you will not take place.

(2) The temporary storage of the IP address by our system is necessary to improve the stability and functionality of the website as well as for troubleshooting in case of need. Legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) EU-GDPR.

(3) The aforementioned data will be deleted as soon as their storage is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose. In the event of the website being made available, this is the case after the page visit has ended. The log files are deleted after a maximum of 30 days.

2. Use of cookies

(1) Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that are stored in your browser or by your browser in your computer system. Based on the string contained in the cookie, your browser can be uniquely identified when you visit our website again.

(2) We use transient and persistent cookies.

(a) Scope and functionality of transient cookies: Transient cookies are automatically deleted when the browser is closed. This includes in particular the session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the common session. This will allow your computer to be recognized when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

(b) Scope and functionality of persistent cookies: Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may differ depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time.

(3) We use cookies to identify you for follow-up visits if you have an account with us. Otherwise you would have to log in again for each visit. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) EU-GDPR.

(4) You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies, decide on a case-by-case basis, or rule out the acceptance of cookies. Already saved cookies can be deleted at any time. If you want to make settings for your browser, note that the way you manage your cookie settings differs from browser to browser.

(5) Your cookie setting

3. Web analysis by Matomo (formerly PIWIK)

(1) On our website we use the open-source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) to analye the surfing behaviour of our users. The software sets a cookie on the user's computer (for how cookies work, see II.2. above). If individual pages of our website are called, the following data is stored:

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. A storage of the personal data of the users takes place only there. A transfer of the data to third parties does not take place. The software is set so that the IP addresses are not completely saved but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (example: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, an assignment of the shortened IP address to the calling computer is no longer possible.

(2) The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze the surfing behaviour of our users. By analyzing the obtained data, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. For these purposes, our legitimate interest lies in the processing of data according to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) GDPR. The anonymisation of the IP address sufficiently takes into account the interest of users in their protection of personal data.

(3) Legal basis for the processing of personal data of users is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) EU GDPR.

(4) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer needed for our recording purposes. In our case, this is the case after 3 months.

(5) Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to us by the user. Therefore, as a user, you have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Already saved cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, it may not be possible to use all the functions of the website to the full.

(6) We offer our users the option of opting out of the analysis process on our website. For this you must follow the appropriate link. In this way, another cookie is set on your system, which signals our system not to save the data of the user. If the user deletes the corresponding cookie in the meantime from his own system, he must set the opt-out cookie again.
