Use of cookies
(1) We use "cookies" for our website in the form of so-called "session cookies", which are temporarily stored exclusively for the duration of your use of our website. Cookies are small text files that enable us to store specific information related to you on your PC while you are visiting our Internet pages. Cookies help us to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our website as well as to make our offers as safe, comfortable and efficient as possible for you. Cookies enable our systems to recognise the user's device and make any preferences immediately available. As soon as a user accesses the platform, a cookie is transferred to the hard drive of the respective user's computer. Cookies help us to improve our website and to offer you a better and more tailored service. They enable us to recognise your computer when you return to our website.
A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie data was sent, information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier.
The cookies we use only store the data explained above about your use of the website. This is not done by assigning it to you personally, but by assigning an identification number to the cookie ("cookie ID"). The cookie ID is not merged with your name, your IP address or similar data that would enable the cookie to be assigned to you.
(2) If you do not wish cookies to be used, you can set your browser so that cookies are not accepted or are restricted to certain pages or you are informed as soon as a cookie is to be set.

Server log files
In order to guarantee the functionality of the website, the provider of the website collects information in so-called server log files, which are automatically transmitted by your browser, and stores them for three days. These are:
- IP address
- Time
- Request
- Status code
- transmitted bytes
- "User agent"
This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. This data is not merged with other data sources. We reserve the right to have this data checked retrospectively if we have concrete indications of illegal use.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google").
The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether data entry on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated programme. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the website visitor on the basis of various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
The data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offers from abusive automated spying and from SPAM.

ATTENTION: At present, there is no adequacy decision of the European Commission confirming an adequate level of protection of data processing in the USA within the meaning of Art. 45 DS-GVO. Furthermore, we as the controller have not currently provided any guarantees within the meaning of Article 46 of the GDPR to ensure an adequate level of data protection in the USA. With your consent, you therefore voluntarily assume the risk of inadequate data protection in the recipient country.
