Analysis tools and advertising
Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses so-called ‘cookies’. These are 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.
Google Analytics cookies are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.
IP anonymisation
We have activated the IP anonymisation function on this website. This means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the United States. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States 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 Google data.
Browser plugin
You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser software settings accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Contract data processing
We have concluded a contract with Google for contract data processing and fully implement the strict requirements of the German data protection authorities when using Google Analytics.
Google Analytics Remarketing
Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
This feature allows the advertising audiences created with Google Analytics Remarketing to be linked to the cross-device features of Google Ads and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalised advertising messages that have been tailored to you based on your previous usage and surfing behaviour on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose.
If you have given your consent, Google will link your web and app browsing history to your Google account for this purpose. This allows the same personalised advertising messages to be displayed on every device you log into with your Google account.
To support this feature, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.
You can permanently opt out of cross-device remarketing/targeting by disabling personalised advertising in your Google account; to do so, follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
The summary of the data collected in your Google Account is based solely on your consent, which you can give or withdraw from Google (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). For data collection processes that are not merged into your Google Account (e.g. because you do not have a Google Account or have objected to the merger), the collection of data is based on
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that the website operator has an interest in the anonymous analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google's privacy policy at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/.
Google Ads and Google Conversion-Tracking
This website uses Google Ads. Google Ads is an online advertising programme from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (‘Google’).
We use conversion tracking as part of Google Ads. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a conversion tracking cookie is set. Cookies are small text files that the Internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to
this page.
Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked via the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers are told the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag.
However, you will not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie in your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The storage of ‘conversion cookies’ is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its website and its advertising.
For more information about Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.

If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Plugins and Tools
YouTube
Our website uses plugins from the Google-operated site YouTube. The operator of the site is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behaviour directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy

For more information on the handling of user data, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Social Media
We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms such as LinkedIn, Xing and YouTube in order to get in touch with members, customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services or promotions.
In this context, we would like to point out the following important points:
User data is generally processed by the operators of social networks and platforms for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on the usage behaviour and resulting interests of users. The usage profiles can in turn be used to place interest-based advertisements within and outside these platforms. For these purposes, cookies and similar technologies are usually stored on users' computers, which are used to record and store users' usage behaviour. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the device, especially if users are logged in to the respective platforms as members.
When using social networks and platforms, users' personal data may be processed outside the European Union (EU/EEA). This may result in certain risks for users, for example because it could make it more difficult to effectively enforce users' rights.
The processing of the personal data of users of our online presences on social networks or platforms, including the transfer of your personal data to the platform operator in the USA, is based on your (implied) consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) and Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. We would like to point out that in the case of an unsafe third country (USA), there is no guarantee that the data protection requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation will be complied with when processing your personal data. In particular, legal requirements in the respective third country may force the operator to disclose your personal data to authorities and other government institutions.
If you contact us via the messaging or messenger services of social media platforms, this is done voluntarily. We are not responsible for the processing and security of the personal data entered in the chat history and have no influence on this. Please inform yourself in advance about the terms of use and data protection regulations of the respective platform as further recipients and controllers in the context of data processing.
For detailed information on the respective processing and the options for objection (opt-out), please refer to the information provided by the providers linked below.
- LinkedIn: LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy
- YouTube: Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, https://policies.google.com/privacy
- Xing: XING SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, https://www.xing.com/privacy
We would also like to point out that requests for information and other rights of data subjects can be most effectively asserted with the providers themselves. Only the providers have access to the relevant user data and can therefore provide the relevant information or take appropriate measures directly. Nevertheless, you can also contact us at any time.
