Anonymous information of this kind might be analysed statistically by us in order to optimize our website and the technology behind it.

Cookies

Like many other websites we use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files which are stored on your hard drive by the website server. That way we automatically receive certain data such as the IP address, the browser used, the operating system and your Internet connection.

Cookies cannot be used to start programmes or transmit viruses to your computer. By means of the information received through cookies we can facilitate navigation and enable the correct display of our web pages.

In no case do we transmit the collected data to third parties or establish a link to your personal data without your consent.

Of course you can visit our website without enabling cookies. Web browsers are usually set to accept cookies. In general, you can disable the use of cookies any time in your browser settings. Please use the help function of your web browser to learn how you can change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website might not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

SSL encryption

To ensure the security of your data during transmission we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e. g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Comment function

If users leave comments on our website, besides these, the time at which they have been posted and the user name selected by the visitor to our website are stored. This is done for our security because we can be held liable for illegal contents on our website even if they have been created by users.

 

Embedded YouTube videos

We embed YouTube videos on some of our web pages. The operator of the respective plug-in is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066 USA. If you access one of our pages provided with a YouTube plug-in a connection with the servers of YouTube will be established. YouTube will be informed which pages you are visiting. If you are logged into your YouTube account YouTube is able to attribute your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out from your YouTube account.

If you start a YouTube video the provider uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour.

If you have disabled the saving of cookies for the Google-Ad programme no such cookies are saved when you watch YouTube videos. However, YouTube places non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to avoid this you have to block the saving of cookies in your browser.
