Our privacy policy should be easy and understandable for everyone. In this privacy policy, the official terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) are generally used. The official definitions are explained in Art. 4 GDPR.
Once you visit our website, it is technically necessary for data to be transmitted to our web server via your internet browser. The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your internet browser ans our web server
(Full) IP address of the requesting computer
We collect the data listed in order to guarantee a smooth connection of the website and to enable a comfortable use of our website by the users. The log file also serves to evaluate system security and stability as well as for administrative purposes. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data or log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
For reasons of technical security, in particular to prevent attempts to attack our web server, we store this data temporarily. Based on this data, it is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons. After 9 weeks at the latest, the data is anonymised by shortening the IP address at domain level, so that it is no longer possible to relate a reference to the individual user.
Our website uses cookies which are stored on your device by the browser and which contain certain settings for the use of the website (e.g. the current session). Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and stored by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted after the browser is closed. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them, or the storage period expires.
These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit. In some cases, the cookies are used to simplify website processes by saving settings (e.g. to keep already selected options available). If personal data are also processed by individual cookies implemented by us, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR either to implement the contract or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit. You can set your browser in a way that you get informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, accept cookies for certain cases or generally exclude them and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. The cookie settings can be administered under the following links for the respective browsers:
You can also individually manage the cookies of many companies and functions that are used for advertising. To do so, use the user tools available at https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.
Most browsers also offer a "do-not-track- feature" that allows you to indicate that you do not want to be "tracked" by websites. If this feature is enabled, the browser will tell ad networks, websites and applications that you do not want to be tracked for behaviour-based advertising and such like. For information and instructions on how to edit this feature, see the links below, depending on your browser provider:
Google Chrome:https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/2790761?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en-GB
Internet Explorer: https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/17288/windows-internet-explorer-11-use-do-not-track
In addition, you can prevent the loading of scripts by default. NoScript allows you to run JavaScripts, Java and other plug-ins only on trusted domains of your choice. Information and instructions on how to edit this function can be obtained from your browser's provider (e.g. for Mozilla Firefox at: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-GB/firefox/addon/noscript/).

Once you have given your consent, Google will associate your web and app browsing history with your Google Account for this purpose. That way, the same personalized advertising messages can appear on any device you sign in to with your Google Account.
