Privacy Policy

Data privacy

It is usually possible to use our website without having to provide personal information. Insofar as personal details (such as name, address or email addresses) are collected on our website, this is always on a voluntary basis to the extent possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit agreement.

We would like to point out that there may be security risks related to data transfer over the internet (e.g. in communicating by email). It is not possible to protect data completely from access by third parties.

We herewith expressly prohibit the use by third parties of the contact data published as part of our statutory legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising material and information. The website operators reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited forwarding of advertising material, e.g. via spam emails.

Cookies

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that are stored on your device using the browser. They do no harm. We use cookies to make our offer user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognize your browser on your next visit. If you do not want this, you can set up your browser so that it informs you about the setting of cookies and you allow this only in individual cases. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of our website.

Tracking Cookie

Some experts refer to tracking cookies as third-party cookies, because the party benefiting from the information is not the party that created the specific site visited. Various browsers allow users to delete or otherwise handle tracking cookies. This helps individual users protect themselves against the invasions of privacy that third-party tracking cookies can represent.

Within the general controversy around data collection on the Internet, many of those who use tracking cookies argue that the information collected is more demographic than personal and that it is used to help businesses make effective decisions about advertising and outreach. However, when individual identifiers like IP addresses and personal data are collected, there’s always a risk that they will be used inappropriately by data collectors. As a result, tracking cookies are likely to continue to be a controversial part of new online business models.
