Handling of personal data
In the following we wish to provide you with information on how we handle your personal
data when you use our website. Unless otherwise indicated, the legal basis for the
handling of your personal data results from the fact that such handling is required to
make available the functionalities of the website requested by you.

When you call up our website, your browser will transfer certain data to our web server. This
is done for technical reasons and required to make available to you the requested
information. To facilitate your access to the website, the following data are collected, briefly
stored and used:
• IP address
• date and time of access
• time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
• content of request
• status of access/HTTP status code
• transferred volume of data
• website requesting access
• browser, language settings, version of browser software operating system and
surface
Moreover, to protect our legitimate interests, we will store such data for a limited period of
time in order to be able to initiate a tracking of personal data in the event of actual or
attempted unauthorized access to our servers.
Setting of cookies
This website uses so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the
memory of your terminal via your browser. They store certain information (e.g. your preferred
language or site settings) which your browser may (depending on the lifespan of the cookie)
retransmit to us upon your next visit to our website.
Subject to your consent
We only use optional cookies if we have obtained your prior consent. Upon your first access
to our website, a banner will appear, asking you to give us your consent to the setting of
optional cookies. If your consent is given, we will place a cookie on your computer and the
banner will not appear again as long as the cookie is active. After expiration of the cookie’s
lifespan, or if you actively delete the cookie, the banner will reappear upon your next visit to
our website and again ask for your consent.
How to prevent the setting of cookies
Of course you may use our website without any cookies being set. In your browser, you can at
any time configure or completely deactivate the use of cookies. This may, however, lead to a
restriction of the functions or have adverse effects on the user-friendliness of our website.
You may at any time object to the setting of optional cookies by using the respective objection
option.

You can contact us directly via the contact forms available on our website. In particular, you

External services or content on our website
We include third-party services and/or content on our website. When you use such third-party
services or when third-party content is displayed, communication data are exchanged
between you and the respective provider for technical reasons.
The respective provider of the services or content may also process your data for own
additional purposes. To the best of our knowledge, we have configured the services and
content of providers known to process data for own purposes in such a way that either any
communication for other purposes than to present their services or content on our website is
blocked, or communication only takes place once you have actively opted to use the
respective service. However, since we have no control over data collected and processed by
third parties, we are not in a position to provide binding information regarding the scope and
purpose of such processing of your data.
