Cookies
We use cookies on our site to recognize multiple use of our site by the same user/owner of an Internet connection. Cookies are small text files that your Internet browser stores on your computer. They serve to optimize our Internet presence and our offers. These are usually so-called „session cookies“, which are deleted after the end of your visit.
In some cases, however, these cookies provide information to recognize you automatically. This recognition takes place on the basis of the IP address stored in the cookies. The information obtained in this way serves to optimize our offers and make it easier for you to access our website.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website.

For technical reasons, the following data, which is transmitted to us or to our web space provider by your Internet browser, is recorded (so-called server log files):
- Browser type and version
- used operating system
- Website from which you visit us (Referrer URL)
- Website you visit
- Date and time of your access
- Your Internet Protocol (IP) address
This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal data you may have provided and thus does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about a specific person. They are evaluated for statistical purposes in order to optimize our Internet presence and our offers.
Newsletter
On our website we offer you the possibility to subscribe to our newsletter. With this newsletter we inform you about our offers at regular intervals. In order to receive our newsletter, you need a valid e-mail address.

When you subscribe to our newsletter, we will store your IP address, the date and the time of your subscription. This serves as security on our part, in case that a third party misuses your e-mail address and subscribes to our newsletter without your knowledge. Further data will not be collected by us. The data collected in this way will only be used to subscribe to our newsletter. It will not be passed on to third parties.

The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, place and frequency of your website visit, including your IP address, is transmitted to and stored by Google in the United States.
We use Google Analytics with an IP anonymization function on our website. In this case, your IP address will already be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area and thus anonymized.
Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of our website, compiling reports on website activity for us and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf.
Google will not, according to its own specifications, associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of our website.
In addition, Google offers a deactivation option for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over which data is collected and processed by Google. If you activate this option, no information about your website visit will be transmitted to Google Analytics. However, activation does not prevent information from being transmitted to us or to other web analytics services we may use. For more information about the opt-out option provided by Google and how to opt-in, please see the link below: https://tools.google.com/dlpag...
Use of Google Maps
We use the component „Google Maps“ of the company Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as „Google“, on our site.

As a rule, this cookie is not deleted when you close your browser, but expires after a certain period of time unless you delete it manually beforehand.
If you do not agree with this processing of your data, it is possible to deactivate the "Google Maps" service and thus prevent the transmission of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you cannot use „Google Maps“ or can only use it to a limited extent.
The use of „Google Maps“ and the information obtained via „Google Maps“ is governed by the Google Terms of Use http://www.google.de/intl/de/p... and the additional terms and conditions for „Google Maps“: https://www.google.com/intl/de...
