This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” text files, which are stored on your computer and enables the analysis of your use of the website. The information about your use of this website (including your IP address) generated by the cookie is transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to analyze your use of the website to compile reports about website activities for the website operator and to provide additional services associated with website and Internet use. Google may, if necessary, transfer this information to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google will not combine your IP address with other Google data. You can prevent the installation of cookies by making an appropriate setting with your browser software. However, we wish to point out that, in this case, you may not be able to fully use all the functions of this website.

VI. Social Media
We collaborate with the following social network to communicate with the interested persons, members, and users active there and inform them about our services:
Facebook: Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.
When you use this social network, your browser is automatically connected to the network. In the process, for example, your IP address, cookies, and other information are sent to the respective service provider if you have already visited the website before. We wish to point out that your data can be processed outside the territory of the European Union. US providers that are certified under Privacy Shield have agreed to comply with the data protection standards of the EU.
To the extent possible, we avoid this data transfer until you interact with the social network.

VII. Plug-Ins
In addition, we use the so-called social plug-ins ("plug-ins") of:
Facebook: Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA.
The Facebook plug-ins are labeled with a Facebook logo or the added designation "Facebook social plug-in." An overview of the Facebook plug-ins and what they look like can be found here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins.
When you access a page on our website that contains such a plug-in, your browser creates a direct connection to the Facebook servers. Facebook sends the plug-in‘s content directly to your browser and integrates it into the web page. Through this integration, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the relevant page on our website, even if you do not have a Facebook profile or are not logged in. Your browser transmits this information (including your IP address) directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stores it there.
If you are logged in to Facebook, your visit to our website can be directly assigned to your profile. If you interact with the plug-ins, this information is also directly transmitted to a Facebook server and stored there. In addition, the information will be published in your Facebook profile and shown to your friends.
We process your personal data as a user based on our legitimate interest in optimizing and efficiently operating our online offering within the meaning of Art 6(1) lit f GDPR.
The purpose and scope of the collection and further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in the Facebook Privacy Policy at: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php
If you do not wish social networks to assign data collected via our website directly to your account, you must log out of the respective social network before visiting our website. You can also completely prevent plug-ins from loading with add-ons for your browser, e.g., with the script blocker: “NoScript” (http://noscript.net/).
