They use so-called cookies, i.e., text files that are stored on your computer and that allow analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the site, to compile reports on the website activities and to provide other services related to the use of the website and the internet. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google.

What about so-called Social Plugins?
We use some so-called social plugins on our websites. These are small expansion modules from different social networks that allow you to tell other participants within the social network that you are on our websites. We want to point out to you that we have only limited influence on data transmission through social plugins. Please note the following information on how these social plugins work:
If you visit our websites, which contain social plugins, your browser establishes a direct connection with the social network’s servers. The social network is told which of our websites you are currently visiting, and this information is stored there in accordance with the social network’s privacy policies. The social network may also log your browsing history or other information. If you are interacting with the social plugin, meaning if you click on it and you are logged in to the related social network, this may be allocated to your profile and displayed elsewhere on the Internet. If you do not want the social network to collect data about you through use of our websites, it may be helpful that you log out of the social network before visiting our website. In the case of Facebook or Google Plus, however, logging out only prevents the association between the data that continues to be collected and your corresponding customer account. Please find more information about the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further use of your data by the respective social network as well as settings to protect your privacy from the relevant data protection notices:
