Information about your computer and internet connection, including your IP address, operating system, host domain, and browser type.

3. Google Analytics
This Website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service that Google, Inc. (“Google”) provides. Google Analytics uses cookies and text files placed on your computer to help the Website analyze how users use it. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the Website will be transmitted to and stored by

Google on servers in the United States.
Google will use this information on our behalf as the website operator to evaluate your use of the Website, compile reports on Website activity, and provide us with other services relating to Website activity and internet usage.

The IP address your browser conveys within the scope of Google Analytics will not be associated with any other data held by Google. You may refuse to use cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser. However, please note that you may need help to use this website’s full functionality.

You can also opt-out from being tracked by Google Analytics with effect for the future by downloading and installing the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on for your current web browser (click here: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

4. Social Media Plug-ins
Our website uses elements from the social networks Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Meta Inc., Twitter Inc., and LinkedIn Corporation supply the plug-ins. Web page elements include buttons (so-called “social plug-ins”) or integrated content from the providers.

Your browser establishes a direct connection to the server of the respective Provider when you visit a page from our Website that contains such a website element. The content of the website element is transmitted by the respective Provider directly to your browser and integrated into the Website. By combining the website elements, the Providers gain knowledge that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our Website, even if you do not have a profile with the respective Provider or are not logged in at the time. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the respective Provider in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged into one of the services, the respective Provider can directly assign the visit to our Website to your profile with this Provider.

We do not influence the parameters of the data that the Providers lift out with the help of the website elements. For details on the purpose and extent of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the Providers, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy policy of the provider:
Instagram & Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/
Twitter: https://twitter.com/en/privacy
LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy

You will need to log out of each provider’s services to prevent providers from directly associating the data collected through our website with your profile for that service. Finally, there is the possibility of ultimately avoiding the loading of the website elements with browser add-ons.

5. Cookies Used on This Website
Our Website uses single-session (temporary) and multi-session (persistent) cookies. Temporary cookies last only as long as your web browser is open and are used for technical purposes, such as enabling better navigation on our Website. Once you close your browser, the cookie disappears. Persistent cookies are stored on your computer for extended periods. They are used to track the number of unique visitors to our site and information such as the number of views a page gets, how much time a user spends on a page, and other pertinent web statistics. Cookies, by themselves, will not be used by the Company to disclose your identity. This information identifies your browser, but not you, to our servers when you visit the Website. If you want to turn off the use of cookies or remove them at any time from your computer, you can disable or delete them using your browser (consult your browser’s “Help” menu to learn how to delete cookies); however, you must enable cookies to access certain information on our Website.
