COOKIES
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files consisting of a series of numbers and letters that are stored on the device you use. Cookies neither transmit viruses nor can they execute programs. They are primarily used to exchange information between the device you use and our website in order to make our Internet offer user-friendly and effective. A distinction is made between temporary (transient) cookies and persistent cookies. The transient cookies include session cookies. These store a session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the common session. This enables our website to recognize your computer when you return to our website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie.

In addition, we also use cookies which enable an analysis of your visit on our website. These cookies may contain information on search terms entered, frequency of page views or the use of website functions.

At this point, data is transferred to the provider already. In addition, data is transmitted to the provider as a result of further interaction with the respective social plugin (e.g. clicking the "Like-Me-Button on Facebook, Re-Tweet-Button on Twitter). If you have an account with the provider, this data can be linked to it. To prevent such a linking of your data, you can log out of the provider's service before visiting our site.

The list and appearance of the Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE.

If you call up a website of our Internet offer that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser, which integrates it into the website. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and can therefore only inform you of what we are doing with it according to our state of knowledge: When you visit our website, Facebook finds out your IP address and stores it, even if you are not a member of the social media provider Facebook. However, according to its own information, Facebook in Germany only stores an anonymized IP address. Facebook also receives information about which page of our website you have visited. If you are a member of Facebook and logged into your account, Facebook can assign your visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example, by clicking the Like button or making a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to Facebook and is stored there. If you are not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will find out and save your IP address. According to Facebook, in Germany only an anonymized IP address is stored. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the relevant rights and setting options to protect the privacy of users, can be found in the Facebook data protection information: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php.

If you are a member of Facebook and do not want Facebook via this offer to collect data about you and link it with your membership data stored on Facebook, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.
