Youtube

  • We integrate (videos) from the video portal "YouTube" operated by Google Ireland Limited for seamless video integration and an appealing website design. The legal basis for data processing is user consent as per Art. 6 Para. 1 a GDPR.
  • We utilize the "enhanced privacy mode" option provided by Google.
  • When you access a page with an embedded video, a connection is made to Google servers. According to Google, in "enhanced privacy mode", your data (including which of our web pages you visited and device-specific information, including the IP address) is sent to the YouTube server in the US only when you view the video. Clicking the video implies consent.
  • If you're logged into Google, this information can be linked to your YouTube account. To prevent this, log out of your Google account before visiting our website.
  • Some data might be transferred to parent company Google Inc. in the US, other Google companies, and external Google partners possibly outside the European Union. Google uses standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission and relies on adequacy decisions issued by the European Commission for certain countries.
  • For more details on YouTube privacy, refer to Google's privacy policies.
  • While using the video portal, domains like googlevideo.com, google.com, and others are called. The legal basis is also your consent. Additionally, Google Webfonts and the "DoubleClick" ad network are loaded.

Friendly Captcha

  • We use the Friendly Captcha tool by Friendly Captcha GmbH on our website to prevent automated and malicious requests from "bots".
  • The tool captures your IP address to send a cryptographic task to your device. Once solved, Friendly Captcha confirms that the interaction is from a human.
  • Data processed includes the anonymized IP address, browser and OS info, anonymized counter per IP for task control, and referrer URL.
  • We have a data processing agreement as per Art. 28 GDPR with the tool provider.
  • The legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is to prevent malicious accesses or spam attacks by bots. If personal data is processed, it's deleted after 30 days.
  • For more on Friendly Captcha's privacy, visit their website.

Use of Google Adwords

We use the service of Google Adwords to draw attention to our attractive offering with the help of advertising (so-called Google Adwords) on external websites. We can establish how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. In so doing we pursue the interest of showing you advertising which is of interest to you, making our website more attractive for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis for the processing of your data is provided by Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR.

There are various ways in which you can prevent this tracking process:

a) an appropriate setting in your browser software, in particular the disabling of third-party cookies, will result in you not receiving ads from third-party providers,

b) the deactivation of cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser so that cookies from the domain “www.googleadservices.com” are blocked, https://www.google.de/settings/ads, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies,

c) the deactivation of interest-based advertising of providers which are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads”, via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies,

d) permanent deactivation in your browsers Firefox, Internet Explorer or Google Chrome under the link http://www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin. We point out that in this case you may not have full use of all of the functions on this website.

Use of Microsoft Bing Ads

We use the service of Microsoft Bing Ads to draw attention to our attractive offering with the help of advertising on external websites. We can establish how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the data of the advertising campaigns. In so doing we pursue the interest of showing you advertising which is of interest to you, making our website more attractive for you and achieving a fair calculation of advertising costs. The legal basis for the processing of your data is provided by Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 Letter f GDPR.

This advertising material is delivered by Microsoft via corresponding servers. For this purpose we use cookies, with which certain parameters for measuring success, e.g. display of adverts or clicks by users, can be measured. If you access our website via a Bing ad, a cookie will be stored on your PC by Bing Ads. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and should not be used to identify you personally. With this cookie, the unique cookie ID, the number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions) and opt-out information (check box ticked if the user no longer wants to be contacted) are usually stored as analysis values.

These cookies allow Microsoft to recognise your internet browser. If a user has visited certain pages of the website of a Bing Ads customer and the cookie stored on his computer has not yet expired, Microsoft and the customer can recognise that the user has clicked on the ad and been directed to this page. Every Bing Ads customer is assigned a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Bing Ads customers. We do not collect or process any personal data ourselves in the aforementioned advertising measures. We are merely provided with statistical analyses by Microsoft. Based on these analyses, we can identify which of the advertising measures used are particularly effective. We do not receive any further information on the use of the advertising material, in particular we cannot identify the users using this information.

Based on the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct link with Microsoft’s server. We have no influence over the extent and further use of the data collected by the use of these tools by Microsoft and therefore inform you to the best of our knowledge: Due to the integration of Bing Ads, Microsoft is informed that you have visited the relevant part of our website or have clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Microsoft service, Microsoft can assign the visit to your account. Even if you are not registered with Microsoft or have not logged in, it is possible that the provider can find out and store your IP address.

There are various ways in which you can prevent this tracking process:

a) an appropriate setting in your browser software, in particular the disabling of third-party cookies, will result in you not receiving ads from third-party providers,

b) the deactivation of personalised ads from Bing Ads by placing an opt-out cookie on https://advertise.bingads.microsoft.com/de-de/ressourcen/richtlinien/personalisierte-anzeigen, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies,

c) the deactivation of interest-based advertising of providers which are part of the self-regulation campaign “About Ads”, via the link http://www.aboutads.info/choices, whereby this setting will be deleted when you delete your cookies.

Alternatively you can visit the website of the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) at http://www.networkadvertising.org.
