Use of social plug-ins with the “2-click solution”
We use social networking plugins on our website using the “2 click solution”. In doing so, no connections to the servers of the social networks will be established without your explicit consent and consequently no data will be transmitted.
The standard plug-in integration creates a link between your computer and the social network providers’ servers when you visit the pages of our Web site that contain such a plug-in, and notify the plug-in by notifying your browser the page shown. Both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider server. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Even with non-registered or not logged in users will be transmitted. If you are also logged in the social network Facebook, this information will be assigned to your personal user account. When using the plug-in functions (eg by clicking the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. In order to keep control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button first. You will recognize this by the grayed out button. Without your express consent – in the form of activation of the button – no link to the server of the social network will be established and consequently no data will be transmitted.
Only when you activate the button, the button becomes active (highlighted in color) and a direct connection to the servers of the social network is established.
By activating you give your consent to the transmission of your data to the respective provider of the social network. Among other things, both your IP address and the information on which of our pages you have visited are transmitted. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the collected information will also be associated with your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this mapping by logging out of the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons from your user accounts.
The following social networks are integrated by means of the “2 click function”. For more information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of data, as well as your related rights and ways to protect your privacy, see the linked privacy policy of the provider.

When you visit a page labeled “+1” on our website, it will connect to Google’s servers in the US and display the button on the page by notifying your browser. Here, both your IP address and the information of which of our pages you have visited, sent to the Google server. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to Google Plus. Even with non-registered or not logged in users will be transmitted. The “+1” button is not used to track your visits to the Internet. Google does not permanently log your browsing history when displaying a “+1” button and does not otherwise evaluate your visit to a page with a “+1” button. Google stores about two weeks of data about your visit for system maintenance and troubleshooting purposes. However, this data is not structured according to individual profiles, usernames or URLs and will not be forwarded to us.Additionally, if you are a member of Google Plus and you log in to Google Plus at the time you use the plug-in, the information you collect about your page visit will be linked to your Google Plus account and shared with other users. Also in the case of interactions that are possible with the various Google plug-ins, the information about you will be collected, transmitted to Google and stored. For an overview of the different types of Google Plug-ins, please visit https://developers.google.com/+/web/
If you’ve made your profile public in Google Plus’s settings, Google may use your “+1” as a reference along with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or other places on websites and advertisements on the Internet. If you do not want Google to map the collected information directly to your Google Plus profile, you’ll need to log out of Google Plus before visiting our website.

Use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
The controller has integrated on this website the component Google Analytics (with anonymization function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service.
Web analysis is the collection, collection and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data on which website an affected person has come to a website (so-called referrers), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for which length of stay a subpage was viewed. A web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.
The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analytics via Google Analytics. By means of this addendum, the IP address of the Internet access of the data subject will be shortened and anonymised by Google if the access to our website is from a Member State of the European Union or from another state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to evaluate the use of our website, to compile for us online reports showing the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.
Google Analytics uses a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are, has already been explained above. By using this cookie Google is enabled to analyze the usage of our website. Each time one of the pages of this website is accessed by the controller and a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically initiated by the respective Google Analytics component To submit data to Google for online analysis purposes. As part of this technical process, Google will be aware of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which serve, among other things, Google to track the origin of the visitors and clicks, and subsequently make commission settlements possible.
The cookie stores personally identifiable information, such as access time, the location from which access was made, and the frequency of site visits by the data subject. Each time you visit our website, your personal information, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transferred to Google in the United States of America. This personal information is stored by Google in the United States of America.
Google may transfer such personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.
The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as shown above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently contradict the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of the data generated by Google Analytics for the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google.
To do this, the person must download and install a browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered by Google as a contradiction. If the data subject’s information technology system is later deleted, formatted or reinstalled, the data subject must re-install the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or disabled by the data subject or any other person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.
Additional information and Google’s privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/en.html.Google Analytics is explained in more detail at https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
