The operator (respectively his web space-provider) collects data on every access to the websites.

Access data includes:

Name of the website, data file, access time and date, size of transmitted data, information about successful access, browser type and version, operating system of the user, referrer URL (previously accessed site), IP address and the requesting provider.

The operator uses the logged data exclusively for statistical purposes and for the optimisation, operation and security of his offer.

Handling of personal data

Personal data are only collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is legally permitted or if the users agree to the data collection.

"Integration of third-party services and content

It may happen that third party content, such as videos from YouTube, maps from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites are integrated within this online offer. This always presupposes that the providers of this content (hereinafter referred to as ""third party providers"") perceive the IP address of the users. Because without the IP address, they could not send the content to the browser of the respective user. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. We make every effort to use only those contents whose respective providers use the IP address only for the delivery of the contents. However, we have no influence on this if the third party providers store the IP address, e.g. for statistical purposes. We inform the users about this, to the best of our knowledge.

Cookies

Cookies are small files that enable the user's access device (PC, smartphone, etc.) to store specific information relating to the device. They serve on the one hand the user-friendliness of web pages and thus the users (e.g. storage of login data). On the other hand, they are used to collect statistical data on the use of the website and to analyse it for improving the offer. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option with which the storage of cookies is restricted or completely prevented.

Google Analytics

This offer uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (""Google""). Google Analytics uses ""cookies"", which are text files placed on the user's computer, to help the website analyse how users use the site.
