“This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. („Google“).

The information generated by the cookies on your use of this website is transferred to a Google server in the USA, and stored there. On this website, the IP anonymisation „_anonymizeIp ()“ by Google is used, so that the IP address of the users of Google within Member States of the European Union or other contract parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area is shortened beforehand. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server based in the USA and shortened. By shortening the IP address, the direct personal relationship can be excluded. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate users‘ use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address provided by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies using a corresponding setting of your browser software; however, we point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website in full.

10. Use of social media plugins
(1) We currently use the following social media plugins: Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Xing, LinkedIn. We use what is called the two-click solution. This means that if you visit our site, initially no personal data will be passed on to the providers of these plugins. You can recognise the provider of the plugin by the marking on the box above its initial letter or the logo. We offer you the possibility to communicate directly with the provider of the plugin via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and thereby activate it, the plugin provider receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In addition, the data mentioned under Section § 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook and Xing, the IP address is anonymised immediately after collection, according to the respective provider in Germany. By activating the plugin, data is automatically transmitted to the respective plugin provider and stored there (US providers in the USA). Since the plugin provider collects data mainly via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies using your browser’s security settings before clicking on the greyed-out box.
(3) The plugin provider stores the data collected about you as user profiles and uses these for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such evaluation is also made for users who are not logged in, to display customised advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles. You must contact the respective plugin provider to exercise this right. Through the plugins we offer you the possibility to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of plugins is Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. a) GDPR. You consent to the data processing when clicking on the buttons, otherwise the data traffic is blocked.
(4) The data is forwarded regardless of whether you have an account with the plugin provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in with the plugin provider, your data collected with us will be directly assigned to your existing account with the plug-in provider. When activating the activated button and link the page, for example, the plugin provider also stores this information in your user account and communicates this to your contacts in public. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, especially before activating the button, as this way you can avoid being assigned to your profile with the plugin provider.
