Personal Data Protection Policy

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. Therefore, we only process your data according to the legal provisions (General Data Protection Regulation – ‘GDPR’, EU Regulation 2016/679), as these apply at any given time. This text on the Personal Data Protection Policy informs you about the processing of any data collected on our website.

Our website uses so-called cookies. These are small text files that contain a combination of letters/digits identifying the browser used by you. These cookies are temporarily stored on your computer and are only transferred to our server when you visit our website.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. They allow us to recognise your browser on your next visit.

If you do not want cookies to be stored on your device, you can change your browser settings accordingly.

5. Embedding third party services and content

Our website uses content or services provided by third parties, such as maps, fonts or videos (collectively referred to as ‘content’).

This requires that the visitor’s IP address be transferred to the third party (the content provider); otherwise, the content cannot be sent to the visitor’s browser. Therefore, the IP address is required to display this content. We try to only use content whose providers use the IP address solely to deliver the content.

Third parties may also use so-called Pixel Tags (invisible graphics, also known as ‘web beacons’) for statistics or marketing purposes. Pixel Tags can be used to evaluate information, such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The information may be stored on cookies on the user’s device and may contain other technical information regarding the browser and its operating system, the website from which the user visited us, the pages of our website that the user visited, the duration and date of the visit and other details, and they may be associated with such information from other sources.
