We use the web analysis service Google Analytics from Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland; “Google”) on our website.
The data processing serves the purpose of analyzing this website and its visitors as well as for marketing and advertising purposes. For this purpose, Google will use the information obtained on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide the website operator with other services related to website activity and internet usage.

The information generated in this way about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. There is no adequacy decision from the EU Commission for the USA. The data transfer takes place on the basis of standard contractual clauses as suitable guarantees for the protection of personal data, which can be viewed at: https://policies.google.com/privacy/frameworks and https://business.safety.google/adsprocessorterms/ .

Plug-ins and Others
We use social network plug-ins on our website. To ensure that you retain control over your data, we use the privacy-safe "Shariff" buttons.
Without your express consent, no links will be established to the social network servers and consequently no data will be transmitted.
“Shariff” is a development by specialists at the computer magazine c't. It enables more privacy on the Internet and replaces the usual “Share” buttons on social networks. You can find more information about the Shariff project here https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html .
When you click on the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider using your data. Only after you have actively logged in will a direct connection to the social networks be established.
By logging in, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks named below are integrated using the "Shariff" function.
Further information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of data as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy can be found in the linked data protection notices of the providers.

Use of social plug-ins using the “2-click solution”
We use social network plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution". No connections are established to the social network servers without your express consent and consequently no data is transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you access the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the provider of the social network, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by a message to your browser. Both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for unregistered or unlogged users. If you are also logged in to the Facebook social network, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button initially. You can recognize this by the grayed-out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link will be established to the social network server 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 transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. This will include, among other things, your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts on the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
The social networks named below are integrated using the "2-click function". Further information on the scope and purpose of the collection and use of data as well as your rights and options for protecting your privacy can be found in the linked data protection notices of the providers.

Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found here .
We use social network plug-ins on our website. To ensure that you retain control over your data, we use the privacy-safe "Shariff" buttons.
Without your express consent, no links will be established to the social network servers and consequently no data will be transmitted.
“Shariff” is a development by specialists at the computer magazine c't. It enables more privacy on the Internet and replaces the usual “Share” buttons on social networks. You can find more information about the Shariff project here https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html .
When you click on the buttons, a pop-up window appears in which you can log in to the respective provider using your data. Only after you have actively logged in will a direct connection to the social networks be established.
By logging in, you consent to the transfer of your data to the respective social media provider. This includes, among other things, your IP address and information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your social media accounts before visiting our website and before activating the buttons. The social networks named below are integrated using the "Shariff" function.

Use of social plug-ins using the “2-click solution”
We use social network plug-ins on our website using the "2-click solution". No connections are established to the social network servers without your express consent and consequently no data is transmitted.
With the standard integration of plug-ins, when you access the pages of our website that contain such a plug-in, a link is established between your computer and the servers of the provider of the social network, and the plug-in is displayed on the page by a message to your browser. Both your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited are transmitted to the provider's servers. This applies regardless of whether you are registered or logged in to the social network. Transmission also takes place for unregistered or unlogged users. If you are also logged in to the Facebook social network, this information is assigned to your personal user account. When you use the plug-in functions (e.g. by pressing the button), this information is also assigned to your user account, which you can only prevent by logging out before using the plug-in. So that you retain control over your data, we have decided to deactivate the corresponding button initially. You can recognize this by the grayed-out button. Without your express consent - in the form of activating the button - no link will be established to the social network server 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 transfer of your data to the respective provider of the social network. This will include, among other things, your IP address and the information about which of our pages you have visited. If you are connected to one or more of your social network accounts at the same time, the information collected will also be assigned to your corresponding profiles. You can only prevent this assignment by logging out of your user accounts on the social networks before visiting our website and before activating the buttons.
