If you register for our email newsletter, we regularly send you information on our product offerings. The only information required to send the newsletter is your email address. The provision of any other data is voluntary, and such data are used so that we can address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in method for sending the newsletter.

5.) Disclosure of data
We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small files that your browser automatically generates that are stored on your terminal device (laptop, tablet, smartphone or similar) when you visit our website. Cookies are not harmful to your terminal device and contain no viruses, Trojan horses, or other malware.
The cookie contains information about the specific terminal device in use. However, this does not mean that we directly gain knowledge of your identity through cookies.
The purpose of cookies is, on the one hand, to make your use of our product offerings more pleasant. We use so-called session cookies to detect whether you have previously visited individual pages on our website. Such cookies are automatically deleted after you leave our website.
In order to optimise user-friendliness, we also use temporary cookies, which are stored on your terminal device for a specific defined time. If you visit our website again in order to make use of our services, the fact that you were there previously is automatically recognised, together with your entries and settings, thus avoiding the need to re-enter them.
On the other hand, we use cookies in order to track statistics on the use of our website and optimise our product offerings for you (see Section 7). When you return to our website, these cookies allow us to automatically recognise that you were there previously. Such cookies are automatically deleted after a defined time.
7.) Analytical/tracking tools
The tracking measures that we use as indicated in the following are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1), sentence 1, point (f) of the GDPR. The intention behind our use of these tracking measures is to ensure that our website is designed in keeping with the users’ needs and can be continually optimised. On the other hand, we use tracking measures to track statistics on the use of our website and to evaluate the website for purposes of optimising our product offerings. These interests must be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the above provision.
For purposes of needs-based design and continuous optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (https://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”).

This information may also be sent to third parties if required by law or if third parties are processing this data on a contract basis. Under no circumstances will your IP address be linked to other Google data. IP addresses are anonymized to make association impossible (IP masking).
You can prevent cookies from being installed by disabling the corresponding setting in your browser software; however, we advise that in this case the full functionally of our website may not be able to be used.
You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie about your use of our website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

8. )Social media plugins
Based on Art. 6 (1), sentence 1, point (f) of the GDPR, we use so-called social plugins (“Plugin”) of the social networks Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and LinkedIn on our website to make our firm better known by those means. The underlying promotional purpose must be regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. The responsibility for operating in conformity with data protection requirements must be borne by the respective providers. We integrate these Plugins using the so-called two-click method in order to offer our website visitors the best possible protection.
Our website uses Plugins of the Facebook social network, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Facebook”). The Plugins are identified by a Facebook logo or the words “social plugin of Facebook” or “Facebook Social Plugin”. Information about Facebook Plugins and what they look like can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.
When you access a page of our website containing such a Plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The contents of the Plugin are transmitted directly to your browser by Facebook and integrated into the website by your browser. Through integration of the Plugin, Facebook receives the information that your browser accessed the respective page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not logged into Facebook at the time. That information (including your IP address) is directly transmitted by your browser to a Facebook server in the USA and is retained there.
If you are logged into Facebook, Facebook can directly assign the visit on our website to your Facebook account. When you interact with the Plugins, for example by clicking on the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button, the respective information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and is retained there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.
Facebook can use this information for the purpose of advertising, market research and designing Facebook pages in keeping with the needs of users. For that purpose, Facebook generates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g., to evaluate your use of our website with respect to the adverts displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users of your activities on our website and to provide other services related to the use of Facebook.
Regarding the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook as well as your rights in this regard and the configuration options for protecting your privacy, please consult Facebook’s privacy notices (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).
Plugins of the Twitter Inc. short message network (“Twitter”) are integrated into our website. The Twitter Plugins (tweet button) can be recognised by the Twitter logo on our website. Information about tweet buttons can be found here (https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons).
When you access a page of our website containing such a Plugin, a direct connection between your browser and the Twitter server is established. In this way, Twitter receives the information that you have visited our website with your IP address. If you click on the Twitter “tweet button” while you are logged into your Twitter account, you can link the contents of our pages to your Twitter profile. Through this, Twitter can assign the visit on our pages to your user account. Please note that as provider of the pages we have no knowledge of the contents of the transmitted data or of their use by Twitter.
If you do not want Twitter to assign the visit on our pages, please log out of your Twitter user account. Further information can be found in the Twitter privacy policy (https://twitter.com/privacy).
Our website also uses Plugins of Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (“Instagram”).
When you access a page of our website containing such Plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram’s servers. The contents of the Plugin are transmitted directly to your browser by Instagram and integrated into the website. Through this integration, Instagram receives the information that your browser accessed the respective page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not logged into Instagram at the time.
That information (including your IP address) is directly transmitted by your browser to an Instagram server in the USA and is retained there. If you are logged into Instagram, Instagram can directly assign the visit on our website to your Instagram account. When you interact with the Plugins, for example by clicking on the “Instagram” button, that information is also transmitted directly to an Instagram server and is retained there.
The information is also published in your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts there.
Further information on this can be found in the Instagram privacy policy (https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 ).
8.4) LinkedIn
The “LinkedIn-Share-Button” is used on our website. These are Plugins of the social network LinkedIn of LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“LinkedIn”). You can recognize the LinkedIn Plugins by the LinkedIn logo or the “Share” button on this website. When you visit this website, the Plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the LinkedIn server. LinkedIn receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click the LinkedIn “Share-Button” while logged into your LinkedIn account, you can link the contents of this website on your LinkedIn profile. This allows LinkedIn to associate your visit to this website with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of this website, we have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or of their use by LinkedIn. Details on data collection (purpose, scope, further processing, use) as well as your rights and setting options can be found in LinkedIn’s data protection information.
