This includes the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, the website from which you visit us, the web pages you visit on our site and the date and duration of your visit. This is exclusively information that does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. We evaluate this data only for statistical purposes and only in anonymous form. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. By accepting cookies, further personalized data is collected, which is described in the section "Google Analytics".

Personal data is only collected if you provide it of your own accord, for example to carry out an order, a survey, a competition or registration for personalized services. There you will be informed about the intended purpose of processing and, if necessary, asked for your consent to store it. Your data will be encrypted before transmission and processing to protect it from access by unauthorized persons.

Social Plugins
So-called "social plugins" of social networks such as Facebook, Twitter or Yahoo are used on our pages. The plugins are recognizable by the logo of the respective social network.
As soon as you visit a website with an activated social plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social network via the social plugin and transmits data about your visit to the social network. Even if you are not a member of one of the social networks, it is possible that they learn data such as your IP address via the social plugin and may store it. The content of the social plugin is transmitted by the social network directly to your browser, which embeds it in the visited website. Therefore, we have no influence on the scope of the data collected by the social plugin.
If you are a member of one of the aforementioned social networks and do not want them to collect data about you via our website and link it to your respective membership data, please log out of the respective social network before calling up our website.
You can prevent data transmission. To do this, please adjust the security settings in the browser you use (e.g. Internet Explorer, Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari). Please refer to the "Help" section in your browser to find out how this works.
In addition, it is possible to block social plugins using add-ons for your browser, such as the Facebook plugin with the "Facebook Blocker", which you can download here, among other places:https://webgraph.com/resources/facebookblocker/
For more information about the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by the respective social networks, your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, please refer to the privacy notices of the social networks.
