Cookies:
This website uses “cookies” in some instances. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart functionality) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized delivery of its services. If other cookies (e.g., cookies to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking:
This website uses Google Ads, an online advertising program by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”).

As part of Google Ads, we use conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is set. Cookies are small text files stored on the user’s computer by the internet browser. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If a user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.

Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can opt-out of this use by deactivating the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.

The storage of “conversion cookies” is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its website and its advertising.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
