Google Analytics

This offering uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google, Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies," text files that are stored on users' computers, and which allow an analysis of the use of the website. The information generated by cookies about the use of this website by users is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

However, in case of activation of IP anonymization for this website, the IP addresses of the users will be abbreviated beforehand by Google, within the Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and be abbreviated there. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the use of the website by users to compile reports on website activities and to provide other services related to website usage and Internet usage to the website operator.

The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; however, we would like to notify users that in this case, you may not be able to fully utilize all the functions of this website. Users may also prevent Google from tracking the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address), as well as the processing of such data by Google, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Use of Facebook Social Plugins

This offering uses social plugins ("Plugins") from the social network facebook.com, operated by Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbor, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook"). The plugins are visible on one of the Facebook logos (white "f" on a blue tile, the terms "like" or "thumbs-up"), or are marked with the additional "Facebook Social Plugin." The list and the appearance of Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When a user browses a web page on this offering that contains such a plugin, their browser builds a direct link to Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated into the website. Therefore, the provider has no influence on the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin, and therefore informs the user accordingly for their knowledge:

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives information that a user has called up the corresponding page of the offering. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can assign the visit to his Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example, press the Like button or comment, the corresponding information will be sent directly from your browser to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, however, there is the possibility that Facebook will find and save their IP address. According to Facebook, only anonymized IP addresses are stored in Germany.

The purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as the rights and settings for the protection of the privacy of the users can be found in Facebook's privacy statement: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.

If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this offering and to link the data with their member data stored on Facebook, they must log out of their Facebook session before visiting this offering. Further settings and inconsistencies regarding the use of data for advertising purposes are possible within the Facebook profile settings: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads.


+1 Button by Google+

This offering uses the "+1" button on the social network Google Plus operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States ("Google"). The button can be recognized by the "+1? on a white or colored background.

When a user browses a web page that contains such a button, the browser connects directly to Google's servers. The content of the "+1" button is transmitted directly by Google to the users' browsers and is integrated into the web page. Therefore, the provider has no influence on the extent of the data that Google collects with the button. According to Google, no personal data are collected without a click on the button. Only with logged-in members, such data including the IP address, are collected and processed.

Users can find the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as your rights and settings for the protection of your privacy at Google's data protection notification for the "+1? Button": http://www.google.com/intl/en/+/policy/+1button.html and the FAQ: http://www.google.com/intl/en/+1/button/.


Twitter

This offering uses buttons by the service Twitter. These buttons are offered by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. They are recognizable by terms such as "Twitter" or "Follow," linked to a stylized blue bird. With the help of the buttons, it is possible to share a post or page of this offering at Twitter or to follow the provider at Twitter.

When a user browses a web page that contains such a button, their browser builds a direct link to the Twitter servers. The content of the Twitter buttons is transmitted directly from Twitter to the user's browser. The provider has therefore no influence on the extent of the data that Twitter collects with the help of this plugin, and informs users accordingly for their knowledge. According to them, only the IP address of the user with the URL of the respective web page is transmitted when the button is drawn, but not for purposes other than for displaying the button.

For more information, see Twitter's privacy policy at http://twitter.com/privacy.
