Basic information on data processing

We collect, process and use personal data of the users in compliance with the prescribed data protection regulations. This means that the data of the users will only be used according to legal permission or the existence of consent.

Access data

Personal data is only collected by us to the extent technically necessary, e.g. name of the file accessed, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page) and the requesting provider. We do not assign this data to specific persons and do not combine it with data from other data sources.

If the opportunity for the input of personal or business data (email addresses, name, addresses) is given, the input of these data takes place voluntarily. The use and payment of all offered services are permitted – if and so far technically possible and reasonable – without specification of any personal data or under specification of anonymized data or an alias.

Blog comments

If you write a comment on a blog article, your IP address will be saved. This is done for our safety, in case someone writes illegal content in comments (insults, forbidden political propaganda, etc.). In this case, we ourselves could be prosecuted for the comment and are therefore interested in the identity of the comment author. However, these comment IP addresses are deleted as soon as we have read the comments. This is usually done within a few hours. We also reserve the right to delete or not publish comments. A comment always reflects the opinion of the respective author.

The follow-up comments can sometimes also be subscribed to. You will then receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the email address you entered. You can unsubscribe from ongoing comment subscriptions at any time. The confirmation email will contain instructions on how to do this. During registration and its confirmation, the IP address is stored with the time in order to be able to prove the registration in case of doubt.

Article subscription in blog

When you make an article subscription to a blog, their email address will not be used for any purpose other than sending them the articles. You can unsubscribe at any time (email us or the confirmation email will detail the steps to do so). During registration and its confirmation, the IP address is stored with the time in order to be able to prove the registration in case of doubt.

Cookies

In order for our website to function as desired, we sometimes place small files – so-called cookies – on your device. This is common for most websites.

The cookie settings on this website are set to “Allow cookies” to provide the best browsing experience. The website uses cookies to personalize content and ads, to offer social media features, and to analyze traffic to our website.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that are stored on your computer, tablet, smartphone, etc. via your browser. Cookies make it easier for your browser to navigate a website. For example, certain entries and settings (e.g. login, language, font size, and other display preferences) are “remembered” over a period of time, and you do not need to make them again each time you visit and navigate the site. The cookie itself cannot collect any information stored on your computer or in your files. If a server can retrieve cookies via the web browser, this enables a more user-friendly service.

The activation of these cookies is not mandatory for the use of the website, however, they improve your user experience. Of course, you can delete or block the cookies. In this case, however, you may not be able to use all the features of this website as intended. The data collected by cookies is not used to decipher your identity.

But then you may have to manually adjust some settings every time you visit a page and accept the impairment of some functions. For more information, see the help section of your browser. Please note that most browsers automatically allow cookies. Therefore, if you do not want cookies to be used, you must actively delete or block cookies.

Why do we use cookies?

Cookies help us to improve your user experience when visiting our website. Cookies remember which browser you use and which additional browser software you have installed. They also contain information about your settings and preferences (e.g. language and country). Cookies also allow you to rate pages and fill out forms. We use cookies to learn more about how you interact with our content.
Some of the cookies we use are so-called session cookies. They expire automatically when you close your browser. In addition, there are permanent cookies that are stored on your computer for a longer period of time. For more information about the different types of cookies that may be used by us, please click here:

Session cookies

These cookies store information about a user’s session. Web pages have no memory. Session cookies allow website operators to record the movements of users on the visited website. This means that user information that has already been sent to the website does not have to be transmitted again. Session cookies are deleted when the browser is closed.

Preference cookies

When visiting a website, these cookies store information about the browser used as well as about additionally installed browser software. In addition, these cookies store the settings and preferences made when personalizing a website (e.g. country, language or fonts). These settings and preferences are stored in conjunction with persistent cookies and do not need to be set again the next time the user visits the website.

Rating cookies

These persistent cookies allow a user to rate how much they like a website. Rating cookies are used to store the current user rating of the page and to prevent users from rating a page more than once.

Voting cookies

These persistent cookies ensure that users can only participate in a vote once.

Form cookies

These cookies are used to store information that a user provides when filling out forms. The stored data is used exclusively to restore the entries in the form when the user returns to the respective page.

Analytical cookies

Analytical cookies should show us how you move around a homepage. This type of cookie collects information about how visitors use our site, where they came to our site from, how often a user visits our site, and how long a visit lasts. No user-specific information is collected with this information, nor are any usage statistics compiled at an aggregate level. We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service from Google, for this purpose.

Integration of third-party services and content

It may happen that third party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated within this online offer. This always requires that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as “third-party providers”) perceive the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is thus required for the display of this content. We endeavor to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the content. However, we have no influence if the third-party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. Insofar as this is known to us, we inform the users about it. See the information below.

Jetpack/ WordPress.com stats

This website uses WordPress.com-Stats, a tool for statistical analysis of visitor traffic, operated by Automattic, Inc. 132 Hawthorne Street San Francisco, CA 94107, USA, using tracking technology provided by Quantcast Inc, 201 3rd St, Floor 2, San Francisco, CA 94103-3153, USA.

Facebook / Social PlugIns

Our website uses social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network facebook.com, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are recognizable by one of the Facebook logos (white “f” or a “thumbs up” sign) or are marked with the addition “Facebook Social Plugin”.

Each time you call up a web page of our Internet presence that is provided with such a plugin, the plugin causes the browser you are using to load and display the visual representation of the plugin from the Facebook server. In the process, the Facebook server is informed which particular web page of our Internet presence you are currently visiting as well as other data such as your IP address.

The plugin enables a direct connection between the user’s browser and the Facebook or Google server. In this way, Facebook or Google determine information (in particular the date and time of the website call and other browser-related information) of the user on the website. If the user clicks on the Facebook “Like” button or the Google “+1” button while logged into his Facebook account or Google account, it is also possible for Facebook or Google to associate the visit to the website with the user’s profile.

By activating the plugin, Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like” button or posting a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a member of Facebook, there is also the possibility that Facebook collects and stores your IP address after clicking on the Facebook notice.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy.

If you are a Facebook member and do not want Facebook to collect data about you via our website and link it to your membership data stored on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. Further settings and objections to the use of data for advertising purposes, are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.

It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with extensions for your browser (add-ons for your browser e.g. “Facebook Blocker”).

By visiting the website, you expressly consent to such use of your user information.

Twitter

This offer uses the buttons of the service Twitter. These buttons are offered by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. They are recognizable by terms such as “Twitter” or “Follow”, connected with a stylized blue bird. With the help of the buttons, it is possible to share a post or page of this offer on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter.

When a user calls up a web page of this website that contains such a button, his browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of Twitter. The content of the Twitter button is transmitted by Twitter directly to the user’s browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the scope of the data that Twitter collects with the help of this plugin and informs users according to its level of knowledge. According to this, only the user’s IP address and the URL of the respective website are transmitted when the button is used, but not for any other purposes than the display of the button.
For more information, see Twitter’s privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy.

Xing

The “XING Share button” is used on this offer. When this website is accessed, the user’s browser briefly establishes a connection to servers of XING AG (“XING”), with which the “XING Share Button” functions (in particular the calculation/display of the counter value) are provided. XING does not store any personal data of the user about the call of this offer. In particular, XING does not store IP addresses. There is also no evaluation of usage behavior via the use of cookies in connection with the “XING Share button”. Users can access the current data protection information on the “XING Share Button” and supplementary information on this website: https://www.xing.com/app/share?op=data_protection
