5. Usage data
When you access our websites, you transmit data to our web server via your internet browser for technical reasons. The following data is recorded during an active connection for communication between your internet browser and our web server:
- Date and time of the request
- Name of the requested file
- Page from which the file was requested
- Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)
- Web browser used and operating system used
- Full IP address of the requesting computer
- Transferred data volume.
For reasons of technical security, especially to defend against attack attempts on our web server, we store this data for a short time. It is not possible for us to draw conclusions about individual persons based on this data. After a maximum of seven days, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address to domain level, so that it is no longer possible to establish a reference to the individual user. In anonymized form, the data is also processed for statistical purposes; no comparison with other data sets or disclosure to third parties, even in part, takes place.
5.1 Use of Google Analytics with the consent of website visitors
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”), based on the consent of website visitors. Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before transmission. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link. In view of the discussion about the use of analysis tools with complete IP addresses, we would like to point out that this website uses Google Analytics only with the prior consent and with the extension “_anonymizeIp()” and therefore IP addresses are only processed in shortened form to exclude direct personal reference.
5.2 Google AdWords Conversion Tracking with the consent of website visitors
This website uses Google AdWords Conversion Tracking, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”), based on the consent of website visitors. Google AdWords Conversion Tracking also uses “cookies” that are stored on your computer and allow an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google will never associate your IP address with other Google data. You can prevent the use of cookies in general by disallowing their storage in your browser.
5.3 Use of AddThis with the consent of website visitors
This website uses social plugins from Add This, LLC, 8000 Westpark Dr., Suite 625, McLean, VA 22102 (“AddThis”) based on the consent of website visitors. If you click a button in such an AddThis plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of AddThis and, if applicable, the selected social network. AddThis receives information that you have accessed the corresponding page of our website. The website operator has no influence on the type and extent of data collected and transmitted to AddThis and, if applicable, to social networks.
5.4 YouTube
This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. We use YouTube’s advanced privacy mode, which means that according to YouTube, information about our website is only transmitted to YouTube when visitors watch the video. However, the sharing of data with potential YouTube partners cannot be excluded. When you start a YouTube video on our website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established and information is transmitted about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to directly associate your surfing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this association by logging out of your YouTube account. In addition, after clicking on a video, YouTube may store various cookies on the respective device or use similar recognition methods (e.g. device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. The information is used, among other things, to create video statistics, improve the user experience, and prevent fraud. After starting a YouTube video, additional data processing operations may be triggered, over which we have no control. The integration of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings.
5.5 LinkedIn
We use social plugins from LinkedIn Corporation (short: LinkedIn) on our website. The social plugins may include feeds, sharing of content or links to our LinkedIn page. The social plugins are clearly identifiable by the well-known LinkedIn logo and provide the possibility to share relevant content via our website. LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place in Dublin is responsible for data processing in the European Economic Area and Switzerland. By integrating such plugins, data can be transmitted to LinkedIn and stored and processed there. LinkedIn does not store any personal data solely through the integration of the social plugins. When you click on a social plugin, for example, to share our posts, the platform stores personal data, regardless of whether you have a LinkedIn account or not. If you are logged in to LinkedIn, the collected data will be assigned to your account. When you interact with the plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to LinkedIn’s servers. This records various usage data by LinkedIn. In addition to your IP address, this may include login data, device information or information about your internet or mobile service provider. If you access LinkedIn services via your smartphone, your location can also be determined (if you have allowed it). LinkedIn can also share this data in “hashed” form with advertisers. Hashing means that a record is converted into a character string. This makes it possible to encrypt the data in such a way that individuals can no longer be identified. The integration of LinkedIn is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offer.
5.6 Use of own “cookies” required for website display
This website uses its own “cookies” to store settings required for website display (“cookies” are records sent by the web server to the user’s browser and stored there for later retrieval). No personal data is stored in our own “cookies”. You can prevent the use of “cookies” in general by prohibiting the storage of “cookies” in your browser.
