To integrate the fonts we use, your browser must establish a connection with an Adobe server in the United States and download the necessary font for our website.

Embedded YouTube videos

On some of our web pages we embed Youtube videos. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page with the YouTube plug-in, a connection is established with the Youtube servers. Youtube is then informed of the pages you visit. If you are logged in to your Youtube account, Youtube can personally attribute your surfing behavior to you. You can avoid this by logging out of your Youtube account beforehand.

When a Youtube video is launched, the provider uses cookies which collect information on user behavior.

People who have disabled the storage of cookies for the Google advertising program should not expect to receive such cookies when viewing Youtube videos. Youtube also saves non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you want to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies in your browser.

Further information on data protection at "Youtube" can be found in the data protection declaration of the provider under: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

Social plugins

Social plugins from the providers mentioned below are used on our web pages. You can recognize plugins by the fact that they are marked with the corresponding logo.

Through these plugins, information, which may include personal data, is possibly sent to the operator of the service and possibly used by it. We prevent the unconscious and unintentional entry and transmission of data to the service provider with a two-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, you must first activate it by clicking on the corresponding button. It is only by this activation of the plug-in that the input of information and its transmission to the service provider is triggered. We do not collect personal data ourselves through social plugins or their use.

We have no influence on the data entered by an activated plug-in and how it is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services is established and that at least the IP address and device information are entered and used. It is also possible that service providers attempt to store cookies on the computer used. To find out what concrete data is entered and how it is used, please consult the data protection information of the relevant service provider.

Google AdWords

Google AdWords

Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you came to our website through an advertisement placed by Google, Google Adwords places a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is activated when a user clicks on an ad served by Google. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be tracked on the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to establish conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that could personally identify users.

If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can refuse the installation of a cookie necessary for this purpose - for example by setting your browser to generally disable the automatic installation of cookies or by configuring your browser to way to block cookies from the domain googleleadservices.com.

Please note that you should not delete opt-out cookies as long as you do not wish to save measurement data. If you have deleted all your cookies in the browser, you must set the corresponding opt-out cookie again.

Use of Google Remarketing

This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. This function is used to present website visitors within the Google advertising network with advertisements based on their interests. A "cookie" is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when he visits web pages that are part of the Google advertising network. On these pages, advertisements may be shown to the visitor, which relate to content that the visitor has previously viewed on web pages that use Google's remarketing function.

According to its own indications, Google does not collect any personal data during this process. If, however, you do not want to use the remarketing function of Google, you can in principle deactivate it by changing the corresponding settings at http://www.google.com/settings/adsvornehmen.
