We use the Google Analytics web analytics service provided by Google Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; "Google") on our website.
The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. In this context, the following information may be collected, among others: IP address, date and time of page view, click path, information about the browser you are using and the device you are using (device), pages visited, referrer URL (website from which you accessed our website), location data, purchase activity. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not merged with other data from Google.
Google Analytics uses technologies such as cookies, web storage in the browser and tracking pixels, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by this about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. There is no adequacy decision of the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place, among other things, on the basis of standard contractual clauses as appropriate guarantees for the protection of personal data, viewable at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks (https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks) and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/.

We use social networking plug-ins on our website. So that you retain control over your data, we use the "Shariff" buttons for data protection.
Without your express consent, no links will be established to the servers of the social networks and consequently no data will be transmitted.
"Shariff" is a development of the specialists of the computer magazine c't. It allows more privacy on the net and replaces the usual "share" buttons of social networks.

If you click on the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in with your data to the respective provider. Only after this active login by you a direct connection to the social networks will be established.
By logging in, you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. In doing so, your IP address as well as the information which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be associated with your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks listed below are integrated by means of the "Shariff" function.
You will find more detailed information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as on your rights in this regard and possibilities to protect your privacy in the linked data protection information of the providers.

Use of social plug-ins using the "2-click solution

We use social networking plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution". Without your express consent, no connections will be established to the servers of the social networks and consequently no data will be transmitted.
When plug-ins are included by default, when you visit the pages of our website that contain such plug-ins, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the social network providers and the plug-in is displayed on the page by notifying your browser. Here both your IP address and the information which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Also with not registered and/or not logged in users a transmission takes place. If you are also logged into the social network Facebook, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. In order for you to retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button first. You can recognize this by the grayed out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link will be established to the social network server and therefore no data will be transmitted.
Only if you activate the button, the button becomes active (colored) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.
By the activation you give your consent to the transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. In doing so, your IP address as well as the information which of our pages you have visited will be transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be associated with your corresponding profiles. The only way to prevent this assignment is to log out of your social networking accounts before you visit our site and activate the buttons.
The social networks listed below are integrated using the "2-click function". You will find more detailed information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of the data as well as on your rights in this regard and possibilities to protect your privacy in the linked data protection information of the providers.
