Google Analytics

This offer utilizes Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files stored on users' computers, enabling an analysis of their website usage. The information generated by the cookie about users' use of this website is typically transmitted to and stored on a Google server.

If IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google shortens users' IP addresses within member states of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there. IP anonymization is active on this website. On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate users' website usage, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

The IP address transmitted by users' browsers as part of Google Analytics will not be associated with other data held by Google. Users can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting their browser settings; however, please note that in such cases, users may not be able to fully utilize all functions of this website.

Use of Facebook Social Plugins

This offer incorporates social plugins (plugins) from the social network Facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plugins can be identified by one of the Facebook logos (a white "f" on a blue tile or a "thumbs up" sign) or are marked with the "Facebook Social Plugin" addition. The list and appearance of Facebook Social Plugins can be viewed here: https://developers.facebook.com/plugins.

When a user visits a page of this offer containing such a plugin, their browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook servers. The plugin's content is transmitted directly from Facebook to the user's browser, which integrates it into the website. The provider has no influence over the scope of data that Facebook collects using this plugin and, therefore, informs users based on their knowledge:

By integrating the plugin, Facebook receives information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of this offer. If the user is logged into Facebook, Facebook can associate the visit with their Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, such as pressing the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is directly transmitted from their browser to Facebook and stored there. Even if a user is not a Facebook member, there is still a possibility that Facebook will obtain and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymous IP address is stored in European Countries.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as further processing and use of data by Facebook, including the user's rights and privacy settings, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php. If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this offer and associate it with their Facebook member data, they must log out of Facebook before visiting this website. It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with browser add-ons, such as the Facebook Blocker.
