Cookies serve to improve the user-friendliness of the website and, thereby, the users (e.g. storage of login data).

The legal basis for the use of cookies is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. (f) GDPR.

As a user, you have the ability to influence the use of cookies. Most browsers provide the option to restrict or entirely prevent the storage of cookies. Please note, however, that the website’s use and, especially, user-friendliness, are limited without cookies.

You can manage many of the online advertising cookies from companies by going to the U.S. site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.

When making inquiries by email, the details we receive in the email, including the contact details you provided, will be stored for the purpose of processing your request and any related follow-up questions pursuant to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. (b) GDPR. We will never share this information without your consent and will treat any data you have voluntarily provided with strict confidence. We store and use any personal data voluntarily provided by you, only to the extent that this is necessary in order to correspond with you further.

7. Contact form

When you send us inquiries via the contact form, the data contained in the contact form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored in order to process the request and for any related follow-up questions.

Google LLC is certified under the US-EU Privacy Shield Framework (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active) and is committed to complying with EU privacy requirements. Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, EU, (hereinafter: “Google”) is the designated entity responsible for Google’s services for users who have their main place of residence in the European Economic Area or Switzerland. Google Ireland Limited is a company affiliated with Google LLC whose services we incorporate and who must also comply with the General Data Protection Regulation. In addition, we have entered into a contract processing agreement with Google LLC., under which Google undertakes to protect the data of our users, process the data on our behalf in accordance with this agreement and, above all, not share this data with third parties.

The information generated by cookies about your use of the website is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity and provide us with other services related to website activity and Internet usage.

You can also prevent cookies from being stored by setting your browser software accordingly. We would like to point out; however, in this case, you may not be able to fully use all of our website’s functions. You can also prevent Google’s collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), including the processing of this data by Google, by going to the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout? hl = en and downloading and installing the available browser plug-in. Here you will also find further information about Google’s terms of service and data privacy.

In doing so, an opt-out cookie will be stored on your device. You will need to click again on this link if you would like to delete your cookies.

Our website also uses Google Maps provided by Google Ireland Limited. Google Maps is used to display and calculate geographic information and directions.

The legal basis for these actions is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. (f) GDPR.

You may also prevent the transmission of such data by deactivating “Javascript” in your browser; however, if you do so, maps cannot be displayed.
