The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.
c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which can vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies in your browser’s security settings at any time.

You can configure the setting and deletion of Flash cookies using the Adobe Flash Player Settings Manager at http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/de/flashplayer/help/settings_manager07.html. Alternatively, if you do not wish to process the Flash cookies, you can install an appropriate add-on, e.g. “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Adobe Flash Killer cookie for Google Chrome. You can prevent the use of HTML5 storage objects by using the private mode in your browser. We also recommend that you delete your cookies and browser history manually on a regular basis.

1. Use of Google Analytics
(5) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your activity on the website. The information about your activity on this website generated by cookies is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. When activating the IP anonymisation on this website, however, Google will first abbreviate your IP address within the EU member states and other signatories to the Treaty on the European Economic Area. The full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and abbreviated there in exceptional cases only. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the
website, compiling reports on website activities and providing the website operator with other services relating to website and Internet use.
(1) The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
(2) You may prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that, in this case, you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. In addition, you may prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) by Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
(3) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “anonymizeIp()”. This processes the IP addresses further in truncated form, excluding the possibility of their being linked to any individual. If the data collected from you is found to be of a personal nature, it will be removed and deleted immediately.
(4) For the exceptional cases in which personal data is transferred to the USA, Google is subject to the EU-US Privacy Shield: https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.

Through the plugins, we pursue our interest in offering you the opportunity to interact with social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offering and make it more interesting and attractive for you as a user. The legal basis for using the plugins is Art. 6(1) clause 1f GDPR.
(8) Through these plugins, your Internet browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of AddThis and, where applicable, the selected social network or bookmarking service. The recipients receive information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offering and the data mentioned in § 5 of this statement. This information is processed on AddThis servers in the United States (we have concluded standard data protection clauses with AddThis).

We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full scope of the data collection, the purposes of the processing or the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the collected data by the plugin provider.
(9) The plugin provider stores this data as usage profiles and uses them for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide demand-orientated advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plugin provider to exercise this right.

- Google Web Fonts (1) This website uses web fonts, which are provided by Google to provide a uniform display of fonts. When you visit a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. This gives Google notice that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)f GDPR.
(2) If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font is used by your computer. For more information about Google Web Fonts, visit: https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq/ or Google’s Privacy Statement: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
- Integration of Google Maps (3) On this website we use the Google Maps service. We are thereby pursuing our interest in increasing the attractiveness of our website by displaying interactive maps directly on our website and enabling you to use the map function conveniently. The legal basis for
using the plugin is Art. 6(1) clause 1f GDPR.
(4) When you visit the website, Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. In addition, the data referred to in § 5 of this statement will be transmitted. This takes place regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether there is no user account. When you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not want to be assigned to your profile with Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses it for the purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (even for users who are not logged in) to provide demand-orientated advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact Google to exercise this right.
