Cookies

This website uses cookies in order to make our content user friendly. A cookie is a file containing an identifier (a string of letters and numbers) that is sent by a web server to a web browser and is stored by the browser. The identifier is then sent back to the server each time the browser requests a page from the server. Cookies do not typically contain any information that personally identifies a user, but personal information that we store about you may be linked to the information stored in and obtained from cookies. Our service provider uses cookies and those may be stored on your computer when you visit our website. 
Most browsers allow you to refuse to accept cookies and to delete cookies. If you block cookies, you might not be able to use all the features on our website.

The legal aspects of the processing of cookie data are to be found in chapter 2, article 6 of the GDPR.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website on which a YouTube component was integrated, your internet browser is automatically prompted to download a display of the corresponding YouTube component.

Social Media Plugins

Facebook
Our website uses social plugins from the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins can be recognized by one of the Facebook logos, the terms “Like”, “Like” or a “thumbs up” sign or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”. A list of the Facebook social plugins and their appearance is available here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When a user opens a page on this website that contains such a plugin, his browser establishes a direct connection to the Facebook servers. Facebook transmits the content of the plugin directly to your browser, which integrates it into the website. The provider therefore has no influence on the amount of data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and therefore informs the user according to his level of knowledge.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has called up the corresponding page of this website. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to their Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is being transmitted from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save his IP address.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook as well as the related rights and setting options for protecting the privacy of users is stated in Facebook’s privacy policy statement: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this website and link it to their member data stored on Facebook, they must log out of Facebook before visiting this website.

Twitter
On this website components of the service Twitter.com are integrated. These components are offered by Twitter Inc., Twitter, Inc. 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA. By using Twitter and the “Re-Tweet” function, the websites you visit are linked to your Twitter account and disclosed to other users. These data are also available to Twitter.

We point out that we, as the provider of this website, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Twitter. For more information, see Twitter’s privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy/.

You can change your data protection settings on Twitter in the account settings at http://twitter.com/account/settings/.

LinkedIn
This website uses components of the LinkedIn.com network. LinkedIn is a service of LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Each time a page equipped with such a component on this website is accessed, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the LinkedIn component.

This process informs LinkedIn which specific page of our website is currently being visited. If you click the LinkedIn “Recommend” button while you are logged in to your LinkedIn account, you can link the content of our pages to your LinkedIn profile. This enables LinkedIn to assign your visit to our website to your LinkedIn user account.

We have no influence on the data LinkedIn collects, nor on the scope of the data collected by LinkedIn. We also have no knowledge of the content of the data transmitted to LinkedIn. Details on the data collection by LinkedIn as well as your rights and setting options can be found in LinkedIn’s privacy policy statement. You can find this information: http://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

XING
This website contains a link button to the XING.com network, a service of XING AG, Dammtorstraße 29-32, 20354 Hamburg, Germany. Accessing this link causes the browser you are using to open the XING profile of the operator of this website in a new window or tab. Only logged-in members of XING can view this profile. When you use or visit XING.com, data is automatically collected from you by using various tracking technologies.
