- Browser type and browser version of your PC
- Operating system used by your PC
- Referrer URL (source/reference from which you came to our website)

We use the Amazon CloudFront content delivery network (CDN) from Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg (AWS) to increase the security and delivery speed of our website. This corresponds to our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). A CDN is a network of servers distributed worldwide that is able to deliver optimised content to the website user. For this purpose, personal data may be processed in server log files by AWS. Please compare the explanations under "Access data".
AWS is the recipient of your personal data and acts as a processor for us. This corresponds to our legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR not to operate a content delivery network ourselves.
You have the right to object to the processing. Whether the objection is successful is to be determined within the framework of a balancing of interests.
The processing of the data provided under this section is not required by law or by contract. The functionality of the website is not guaranteed without the processing.
Your personal data will be stored by AWS for as long as is necessary for the purposes described.
For more information on how to object to and remove your data from AWS, please visit: https://aws.amazon.com/de/compliance/gdpr-center/

targeting360
Cookies are used on our website to enable retargeting advertising campaigns by targeting360 GmbH, Gredinger Str. 24a, 90453 Nuremberg, Germany. The adserving technology of NEORY GmbH, Dortmund, is used for this purpose. For the same purpose, targeting360 GmbH may also load technologies from the providers Adform, Adition, Google or The Trade Desk. These technologies may set additional cookies for this purpose.
The purpose of retargeting is to be able to display interest-based advertising to visitors to our websites on websites of partners in the advertising network.
When you visit our websites and after you have given your consent, the technology used stores a cookie with a unique identifier (cookie ID) in the browser on the end device you are using. If a cookie stored in the browser with this ID is read on a partner site, your device can be recognised. You can then be shown adverts on the partner site that relate, for example, to content that you have previously accessed on our websites.
In order to actually only show you adverts that match your interests, a usage profile is created by analysing the data that is transmitted from your end device to the requested server when you interact with the websites. Your IP address recorded in the process is anonymised by shortening and hashing right at the start of processing. The cookie ID, the approximate location according to the shortened IP address, Internet provider, access speed, technical information on the browser and end device used, operating system, preferred languages according to browser settings, HTTP referrer and date and time of the server request are also used for the usage profile. Your pseudonymised data processed in this way cannot be assigned to you without further ado. Advertising success is also calculated using pseudonymised data without being able to identify a specific person.
The legal basis for the use of the cookies used here and the subsequent processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit a) GDPR. You can terminate the processing of the above-mentioned data based on your consent and the further use of the cookies used for this purpose by exercising your right of revocation or objection under the following link: https://ad.ad-srv.net/privacy/kdb0xdq3ls8m/
Google Tag Manager
Our website uses the Google Tag Manager from the provider Google. Google Tag Manager is a solution with which marketers can manage website tags via an interface. The tool that implements the tags is a cookie-less domain and does not store any personal data. The tool takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
Google Ads and Google Conversion Tracking
Our website uses Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords). Google Ads is an online advertising programme of the provider Google.
Google Ads enables us to draw attention to our offers with the help of advertising media on external websites and to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. This helps us to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of advertising costs.
Within the framework of Google Ads, we use so-called conversion tracking. The advertising material is delivered by Google via so-called "AdServers". For this purpose, we use so-called AdServer cookies, which can be used to measure certain parameters for measuring success, such as the display of ads or clicks by users. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that the internet browser stores on the user's computer. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. These cookies enable Google to recognise your web browser. If you visit certain pages of our website when the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognise that you have clicked on the specific advertisement and have been redirected to this page.
Each Google Ads client receives a different cookie. The cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of Ads customers. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for the cookie: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. The Ads clients learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not wish to participate in the tracking, you can object to this use by easily deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics.
The aggregation of the collected data in your Google account is based exclusively on your consent, which you can give or revoke at Google (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In the case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest arises from the fact that we have an interest in the anonymised analysis of visitors to our website for advertising purposes in order to optimise both our web offering and our advertising.
Further information and the data protection provisions can be found in Google's data protection declaration at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=en.

for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, insofar as the right of the data subject is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing, or
for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If we have made your personal data public and we are obliged to erase it in accordance with the above, we shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform data controllers processing the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested that they erase all links to your personal data or copies or replications thereof, taking into account the available technology and the cost of implementation.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing (blocking) of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. To do this, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has happened / is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. In accordance with Art. 19 of the GDPR, you have the right to be informed about these recipients upon request.
Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you, in accordance with Article 22 of the GDPR.
This shall not apply if the decision
is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us,
is authorised by legislation of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
is done with your express consent.
However, decisions in the cases referred to in (a) to (c) may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), we shall take reasonable steps to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person responsible, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
Right to data portability
If the processing is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR and is carried out with the help of automated processes, you have the right, pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR, to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transfer it to another controller or to demand that it be transferred to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.
Right of objection
Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on this provision. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
