3. Use of cookies

3.1  Definition

‘Cookies’ are small files automatically created by your browser and stored on your end device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.). Cookies are used to store information that arises in connection with the specific end device used. This does not mean that we can thereby identify you directly. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly for you. A distinction is made between the types of cookies below.

3.1 Types of cookies

Essentially necessary cookies are those used for the functionality of a website and are therefore key to navigate and operate as well as usability.

Preference cookies enable a website to remember information that changes the way a website behaves or looks, e.g. the region that you are in.

Statistic cookies allow the number of visitors and traffic sources to be logged and counted in order to measure and improve website performance. They are also used to find out if certain pages have problems or errors, which pages are the most popular and how visitors navigate the website.

Marketing cookies are used to track visits and individual activities on websites and to deliver targeted and other advertising.

In your browser, you can view the cookies that are stored on your computer, delete any cookies that have been set or change your settings to opt out of some or all cookies. Please note that some web functions may not work (properly) if you opt out of cookies or deactivate the cookie option.

3.2 Use of cookies on our website

The data processed by the cookies required to operate a website are necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f)GDPR. We also process personal data in relation to cookies with your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a)GDPR. A cookie banner is displayed the first time you visit our website. This informs you which cookies are set by us or our third-party providers in which category, the purpose for which they are used and for how long they persist. You can also use this banner to make your own choices regarding whether to allow all categories, only certain categories or only strictly necessary cookies. You may change or withdraw your consent to the use of cookies at any time on our website. Please see below which consent you have currently given and which cookies are set by us and our third-party providers in which categories:

4.  Individual Services

4.1   Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (‘Google’). Google Analytics uses marketing cookies to analyze your usage of the website. The information generated by such cookies about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the USA. IP anonymisation has been activated on this website, which means that your IP address is truncated beforehand by Google within European Union (EU) member states and other countries which are contracting parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Full IP addresses are only transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google uses this information to analyze how you use the website, to compile reports on the website activity and to provide other services relating to the use of the website and Internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of the Google Analytics service is not associated with other Google data. Google Analytics cookies are only stored if you have selected the ‘Allow all cookies’ option in the cookie banner. You may also prevent the data generated by a cookie based on your usage of the website (including your IP address) being transmitted to and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available via the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

4.2   YouTube

YouTube, an online video portal provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St., Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as ‘Google’) is used on this website. YouTube enables video publishers to upload video clips, free of charge, and other users to view, rate and comment on these, also free of charge. YouTube permits the publication of all kinds of videos, which is why entire movies and TV programmes as well as music videos, trailers and user home videos can be accessed via the web portal. Each time individual pages of this website operated by the controller responsible for the processing and into which a YouTube component (YouTube video) has been integrated are accessed, the browser on the data subject’s information technology system is automatically prompted by the respective YouTube component to download a corresponding version of the YouTube component from YouTube. Further information on YouTube is available at www.youtube.com/yt/about/de/. During this technical process, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject. If the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time, YouTube recognizes which specific subpage of our website was visited by the data subject when a subpage containing a YouTube video is visited. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and associated with the YouTube account of the respective data subject. YouTube and Google are therefore always informed via the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged into YouTube at the same time they visit our website; this occurs regardless of whether or not the data subject clicks on a YouTube video. If the data subject does not wish such information to be transferred to YouTube and Google, they can prevent this by logging out of their YouTube account before they visit our website.

YouTube’s published Privacy Policy, available at http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/, provides information on how YouTube and Google collect, process and use personal data.
