4. Cookies

We deploy so-called “cookies” in some areas of our website. These file components are used to identify your computer as a technical unit during your visit to this website to facilitate the use of our service. This applies to subsequent visits too.

Generally speaking, you can always set your internet browser in such a way that it notifies you of the use of cookies so that you can allow or block them or delete existing cookies.

Please use the help feature of your internet browser for guidance on how to change these settings. Please note that certain features of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies

Cookies do not enable a server to read private data on your computer or data saved by another server. They do not cause any damage to your computer and they do not carry any viruses.

Cookies are employed to improve the functioning of our website. Their use is therefore essential to ensure our legitimate interests.

5. Google Analytics

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files which are stored on your computer and enable analysis of your use of the website. As a rule, the information on your use of this website generated by the cookies is transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. If, however, IP anonymisation has been activated on this website, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within the area of the member states of the European Union or in other states parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. Google will use this information on our behalf to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports about website activity, and to provide us with other services associated with the use of the website and the internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You can prevent the saving of cookies by changing your browser setting accordingly; however, we should point out that, in this case, you may not be able to use all the features of this website in full. You can also block transmission of the data generated by the cookies and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

Please note that this website uses Google Analytics with the code extension “gat._anonymizeIp();”, to ensure the anonymous recording of IP addresses (known as “IP masking”).

You can also prevent data gathering by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. This will activate an opt-out cookie which blocks any further collection of your data when visiting this website. This procedure is recommended in particular when accessing our website from a mobile device.

Further information on the conditions of use and data protection may be found at www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.

      We use the plug-in of the Facebook social network on our website. Facebook is an internet service provided by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, hereinafter referred to as “Facebook”.

      If the plug-in is installed on one of the pages you visit on our website, your internet browser will download a version of the plug-in from the Facebook servers in the USA.

      Should you be logged into Facebook while visiting one of our web pages on which the plug-in has been installed, information about that particular visit to Facebook will be picked up by the plug-in. Facebook may then assign the information collected in this way to your personal user account. For example, if you use Facebook’s so-called “like” button, this information will be saved in your Facebook user account and may be published via the Facebook platform. If you wish to prevent this, you must either log out of Facebook before visiting our website, or prevent the Facebook plug-in from being blocked by installing an internet browser add-on.

Instagram has been a subsidiary of Facebook Inc. since 2012 and is a Facebook product. The integration of Instagram content into our website is known as “embedding”. This enables us to show you content such as buttons, photos or videos from Instagram directly on our website. If you call up pages from our website with an embedded Instagram function, data will be transmitted to Instagram, saved and processed. Instagram uses the same systems and technology as Facebook. Your data may therefore also be processed via other Facebook companies.

      If you are logged into your Instagram account, you can link the content of our pages with your Instagram profile by clicking the Instagram button. This enables Instagram to link the visit to our pages with your user account. Please note that, as provider of the pages, we receive no indication of the content of the data transmitted or its use by Instagram.

7. Social login

   To register and log in to the customer account, you have the option of authenticating and ultimately registering or logging in with your existing profile on one of the social networks below, Facebook or Twitter.

For this purpose, on the registration page or login page, you will find the relevant symbol for the respective provider of the social networks supported on our website. Before a connection can be created with the provider, you must expressly declare your consent to the process and data transmission as described below:

By clicking on the corresponding symbol, a new window (a so-called “app”) will open, which you must log into using your login data for the social network. After logging in successfully, the social network lets you know which data (name and e-mail address) are to be transmitted to us for authentication purposes as part of the registration or login process. Once you have agreed to this data transmission, the fields required by us for registration will be completed using the data transmitted. The data which we require for registration or login are your name and e-mail address.

Only after you have given your express consent to the use of the required and transmitted data will your data be saved by us and used for the purposes indicated above under point 3.

In order to be able to complete the authentication process for registration and login, your IP address will be transmitted to the respective provider of the social network. We have no influence over the purpose and scope of data collection or the further processing of the data by the social network provider in question. For more details on this matter, please see the data protection guidance provided by the relevant provider.

2. Embedded YouTube videos

We embed YouTube videos on our website. The operator of the plug-ins in question is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, hereinafter referred to as “YouTube”.

When you visit a page with the YouTube plug-in, a connection is made to the YouTube servers. In this way YouTube is informed of the pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can link your surfing activity directly to you. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account in advance.

Once a YouTube video starts, the provider activates cookies which collect information about user behaviour.

If you register for our newsletter, the data requested during the registration process, such as your e-mail address and, optionally, your name and address, will be processed by The Rocket Science Group.

The newsletter which will then be transmitted by The Rocket Science Group contains so-called tracking pixels, also known as web beacons. With the help of these tracking pixels, we are able to determine whether and when you have read our newsletter, and whether you have followed any links included in the newsletter. Besides other technical data, such as the details of your IT system and your IP address, for example, the data processed here are saved, so that we can optimise what we offer in our newsletter to meet our readers’ requirements. The data are therefore used to enhance the quality and appeal of our newsletter service.

You may revoke your consent to transmission of the newsletter at any time with future effect. All you have to do is to inform us of your revocation or to clink on the unsubscribe link included in every newsletter.
