Cookies and web analytics

Some of our services require us to use cookies. A cookie is a small text file that is stored on your device through the browser. Cookies are not used to run programs or upload viruses to your computer.

In fact, the main purpose of our own cookies is to provide a customized offer and to save a maximum amount of your time when you use our services.

More specifically, we use our own cookies:

  • for load distribution;
  • to record that you have been shown information placed on our website so as to prevent its reappearance the next time you visit the website;
  • to temporarily store records that you have made on our website in case you reload the page.

In such a way, we want to provide you with the opportunity to use our website in a more convenient and personalized manner. These services are based on our legitimate interests described above and as the legal grounds thereof is set forth in Article 6 (1) (f) of GDRP

You may prevent the saving of cookies by refusing to accept cookies through this website in your browser settings. Failure to accept cookies may, in individual cases, result in significant functional restrictions on our website

Google services

Our Website uses various services from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA („Google“). Data generated within this context may be transmitted by Google to a server in the USA for evaluation and may be stored there. In cases where personal data are transferred to the United States, Google complies with the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield

If you use a Google Account, depending on the settings stored in the latter, Google may relate the data collected as a part of the Services, in particular your browser history for web visits and applications used with your Google Account, to information from your Google Account in order to personalize ads. If you do not want this identification through your Google Account, you must sign out of Google before visiting our contact page

You may find further information in that regard in Google’s privacy policy.

Google Analytics – systematic computational analysis of data or statistical arrays

Google Analytics uses cookies and similar technologies in order to analyze and enhance our website based on your user behaviour. Within this process however, your IP address will be abridged before the review of statistical data about usage so as to prevent the drawing of any conclusions about your identity. For that purpose, Google Analytics has been expanded on our website with the code „anonymizeIP“ to ensure anonymous coverage of IP addresses.

Google will process the information obtained via cookies in order to analyze website usage, to draw up activity reports regarding website visits for the website operator, and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the Internet.

You may configure your browser to reject cookies or to the recording of data generated  via cookies and related to the use of our websites by changing the cookie settings in the Google Privacy Statement. In addition, you may also prevent Google from processing such data by downloading and installing the browser add-on provided by Google (the latter does not function on mobile devices).

YouTube

On our website we have integrated videos that are stored on YouTube and can be played directly in our site. YouTube is a service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States; „Google“). We embed videos in such a manner that Google receives the information that you have watched the video on our website only when you play it, not when you visit our site. This happens whether or not you are logged in to your Google or your YouTube account. If you are logged in, the video playback information will be assigned directly to your Google Account and your YouTube account. If you do not wish this, you must log out before playing the video. Google stores your data and possibly uses it for advertising, marketing, and website design purposes, as needed. Such analysis is performed even for users who are not logged in. As explained here in above, you may configure your browser in such a manner as to reject cookies, or you may prevent the collection of cookie-related data when using this website and the processing of this data by Google by going to Google Ads Settings and by disabling the „Customized Web Advertising“ button. In this case, Google will only show general advertising, also in respect of YouTube, which has not been selected based on the information collected for you.

Google processes your data also in the USA, and therefore accordingly offers guarantees in the form of an EU-US Privacy Shield certification that ensure the compliance with European data protection principles. The legal basis for integrating YouTube and related data processing is set forth under Article 6 (1) (f) of GDRP, based on our legitimate interest in integrating videos and images to render our website more attractive.

As the collection and processing of data from third parties falls beyond our control, we do not accept any responsibility in that regard.
