Log files

Every time you visit our website, information is automatically sent to our website’s server by your browser and temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following files are registered and stored without any involvement from you until their automated erasure:

- the IP address of the requesting PC,
- the date and time of access,
- the name and URL of the file called up,
- the website from which you reach our website,
- the operating system of your PC and the browser you are using,
- the name of your internet access provider.

These data are collected and processed with the aim of enabling our website to be used (establishing a connection), guaranteeing long-term system security and stability, enabling the network infrastructure to be administered from a technical viewpoint and our internet offering to be optimised; they are also used for internal, statistical purposes. The IP address is only evaluated in the event of attacks on the network infrastructure as well as for statistical purposes without us drawing any conclusions with regard to your identity. This is done on the legal basis of weighing up interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1 f) of the General Data Protection Regulation. If it is necessary to retain log files for longer periods for the purpose of serving as evidence, such files will be exempted from erasure until the matter in question has been finally clarified.

Cookies and web analysis

We continually strive to optimise our online offering and to make your visit to our website a pleasant one. The logging of visits to our website through log files and the deployment of cookies and web analysis represent important tools in this process. The legal basis for such data processing with the use of cookies — also for web analysis purposes — is provided by our legitimate interest in analysing, optimising and running our website cost-effectively in accordance with Art. 6 (1 f) of the General Data Protection Regulation.

Cookie information and cookie management

During your visit to our website, cookies are automatically saved to your computer. Cookies are text files containing a pseudonymous ID which therefore does not permit it to be attributed to any particular person. Only we can read these cookies.

We use general use cookies, functional cookies and performance-related cookies on our website.

We employ general use cookies to ensure user-friendly enjoyment of our website. Certain actions performed by you are saved for the duration of the particular visit to our website to enable you to get the best use out of it. These cookies are deleted when you close the web browser.

Functional cookies enable us to adapt our website to fit the personal preferences of our users to the greatest possible extent. We save the selections made by a user — their country or language settings, for example.

Performance-related cookies help us to measure the use of our website. For example, we can find out which sections you visit the most frequently, and we can recognise you as a returning visitor. With the aid of this information, we can identify any potential to further improve our website.

Most internet browsers accept cookies automatically. As a user of our website, you can decide yourself by means of your browser settings whether you accept or prevent cookies or wish to be informed if you receive a new cookie. You can also delete cookies that have already been placed. If you delete your cookies, this may mean that any opt-out cookies are also deleted and have to be reactivated by you. As a result of deactivating cookies, you may not be able to use all the functions of our internet offering, or our web pages may not display correctly.

If we process your personal data on the basis of our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(1 f) GDPR, you have the right under Art. 21 GDPR to object to the processing of your personal data provided there are reasons for doing so which derive from your special situation or the objection is directed at direct advertising.
