We would also like to convey that we only collect and use information via this website if there is a corresponding legal basis for it. This is certainly not possible if you give very brief technical explanations, as are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. We hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative. Maybe you will also find some information that you did not know yet.<br \/>Should you still have questions, we kindly ask you to follow the existing links to see further information on third-party websites, or to simply write us an email.

This data should be collected as sparingly as possible, and only with good reason. By website, we mean the entirety of all websites on your domain, i.e. everything from the homepage to the very last subpage (like this one here). By domain we mean example.uk or examplepage.com.<\/p>\n<p>Even while you are currently visiting our website, our web server \u2013 this is the computer this website is stored on, usually automatically retains data such as the below \u2013 for reasons such as operational security or for creating access statistics etc.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"adsimple-111714495\">\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">the full address (URL) of the accessed website (e. g. https:\/\/www.examplepage.uk\/examplesubpage.html\/)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">browser and browser version (e.g. Chrome 87)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">the operating system used (e.g. Windows 10)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">the address (URL) of the previously visited site (referrer URL) (z.

Common browsers are for example Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites store small text-files in your browser. These files are called cookies.<\/p>\n<p>What should not be dismissed, is that cookies are very useful little helpers. Nearly all websites use cookies. More accurately speaking these are HTTP-cookies, since there are also different cookies for other uses. http-cookies are small files which our website stores on your computer. These cookie files are automatically put into the cookie-folder, which is like the \u201cbrain\u201d of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. Moreover, to define a cookie, one or multiple attributes must be specified.<\/p>\n<p>Cookies save certain parts of your user data, such as e.g. language or personal page settings. When you re-open our website, your browser submits these \u201cuser specific\u201d information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the settings you are familiar to. In some browsers every cookie has its own file, in others such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in one single file.<\/p>\n<p>There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our site, while third-party cookies are created by partner-websites (e.g. Google Analytics). Every cookie is individual, since every cookie stores different data. The expiration time of a cookie also varies \u2013 it can be a few minutes, or up to a few years. Cookies are no software-programs and contain no computer viruses, trojans or any other malware. Cookies also cannot access your PC\u2019s information.<\/p>\n<p>This is an example of how cookie-files can look:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">name:<\/strong> _ga<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">value:<\/strong> GA1.2.1326744211.152111714495-9<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">purpose:<\/strong> differentiation between website visitors<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">expiration date:<\/strong> after 2 years<\/p>\n<p>A browser should support these minimum sizes:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"adsimple-111714495\">\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">at least 4096 bytes per cookie<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">at least 50 cookies per domain<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">at least 3000 cookies in total<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Which types of cookies are there?<\/h3>\n<p>What exact cookies we use, depends on the used services. We will explain this in the following sections of the Privacy Policy statement. Firstly, we will briefly focus on the different types of HTTP-cookies.<\/p>\n<p>There are 4 different types of cookies:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Essential Cookies<br \/><\/strong>These cookies are necessary to ensure the basic function of a website. They are needed when a user for example puts a product into their shopping cart, then continues surfing on different websites and comes back later in order to proceed to the checkout. Even when the user closed their window priorly, these cookies ensure that the shopping cart does not get deleted.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Purposive Cookies<br \/><\/strong>These cookies collect info about the user behaviour and record if the user potentially receives any error messages. Furthermore, these cookies record the website\u2019s loading time as well as its behaviour within different browsers.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Target-orientated Cookies<br \/><\/strong>These cookies care for an improved user-friendliness. Thus, information such as previously entered locations, fonts or data in forms stay saved.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Advertising Cookies<br \/><\/strong>These cookies are also known as targeting-Cookies. They serve the purpose of delivering individually adapted advertisements to the user. This can be very practical, but also rather annoying.<\/p>\n<p>Upon your first visit to a website you are usually asked which of these cookie-types you want to accept. Furthermore, this decision will of course also be saved in a cookie.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I delete cookies?<\/h3>\n<p>You yourself take the decision if and how you want to use cookies. Thus, no matter what service or website cookies are from, you always have the option to delete, deactivate or only partially allow them. Therefore, you can for example block cookies of third parties but allow any other cookies.<\/p>\n<p>If you want change or delete cookie-settings and would like to determine which cookies have been saved to your browser, you can find this info in your browser-settings:<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/chrome\/answer\/95647?tid=111714495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Chrome: Clear, enable and manage cookies in Chrome <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/support.apple.com\/en-gb\/guide\/safari\/sfri11471\/mac?tid=111714495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Safari: Manage cookies and website data in Safari <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/support.mozilla.org\/en-US\/kb\/clear-cookies-and-site-data-firefox?tid=111714495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Firefox: Clear cookies and site data in Firefox <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/help\/17442\/windows-internet-explorer-delete-manage-cookies?tid=111714495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Internet Explorer: Delete and manage cookies <\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/support.microsoft.com\/en-gb\/help\/4027947\/microsoft-edge-delete-cookies?tid=111714495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Microsoft Edge: Delete cookies in Microsoft Edge <\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you generally do not want to allow any cookies at all, you can set up your browser in a way, to notify you whenever a potential cookie is about to be set. This gives you the opportunity to manually decide to either permit or deny the placement of every single cookie. The settings for this differ from browser to browser. Therefore, it might be best for you to search for the instructions in Google. If you are using Chrome, you could for example put the search phrase \u201cdelete cookies Chrome\u201d or \u201cdeactivate cookies Chrome\u201d into Google.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How is my data protected?<\/h3>\n<p>There is a \u201ccookie policy\u201d that has been in place since 2009. It states that the storage of cookies requires the user\u2019s consent. However, among the countries of the EU, these guidelines are often met with mixed reactions. In Austria the guidelines have been implemented in \u00a7 96 section 3 of the Telecommunications Act (TKG).<\/p>\n<p>If you want to learn more about cookies and do not mind technical documentation, we recommend <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/tools.ietf.org\/html\/rfc6265\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/tools.ietf.org\/html\/rfc6265<\/a>, the Request for Comments of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) called \u201cHTTP State Management Mechanism\u201d.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"speicherung-persoenlicher-daten-en\" class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"36px\">Storage of Personal Data<\/h2>\n<p>Any personal data you electronically submit to us on this website, such as your name, email address, home address or other personal information you provide via the transmission of a form or via any comments to the blog, are solely used for the specified purpose and get stored securely along with the respective submission times and IP-address.

(1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). With the use of Google Maps, we can show you locations in a better way and can therefore adjust our service to your needs. Due to the utilisation of Google Maps, data gets transferred to Google and is saved on Google\u2019s servers. In the following, we want to explain in detail what Google Maps is, why we use this Google service, what data is stored and how you can prevent this.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is Google Maps?<\/h3>\n<p>Google Maps is an internet maps service of the company Google Inc. With Google Maps you can search for exact locations of cities, sights, accommodations or businesses online via a PC, a tablet or an app. If businesses are represented on Google My Business, the respective location as well as other information about the company are shown there. In order to show route directions, a location\u2019s map sections can be integrated in a website through a HTML-code. Google Maps depicts the earth\u2019s surface as either a road map or as air and satellite images. Due to the street view and high-quality satellite images, it is possible for exact representations to be made.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Google Maps on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>The efforts we make on this page have the goal of giving you a useful and meaningful experience on our website. Through the integration of Google Maps, we can offer you essential information on various locations. Therefore, you can spot our office address with one glance. Furthermore, the route directions always show you the best and fastest way to us. You can retrieve the route directions for traveling either by car, by public transport, on foot or by bike. The integration of Google Maps is a part of our customer service.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is stored by Google Maps?<\/h3>\n<p>For Google Maps to offer its full services, the company must collect and store your data. This includes your entered search terms, your IP-address as well as your longitude and latitude coordinates. When you use the route-planner function, the entered start address is stored also. However, this data retention happens on Google Maps\u2018 websites. We can only inform you about it but cannot influence it in any way. Since we have included Google Maps on our website, Google will set at least one cookie (Name: NID) into your browser. This cookie saves data on your user behaviour. Google primarily uses this data to optimise ist own services and to provide you with individual, personalised advertisements.<\/p>\n<p>The following cookies are set in your browser due to the integration of Google Maps:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name:<\/strong> NID<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value:<\/strong> 188=h26c1Ktha7fCQTx8rXgLyATyITJ111714495-5<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Purpose:<\/strong> Google uses NID in order to adjust advertisments to your Google searches. With the cookie\u2019s help Google \u201cremembers\u201c your most frequently entered search queries or your previous interaction with ads. That way you always receive customised adertisments. The cookie contains a unique ID, wich Google uses to collect your personal settings for advertising porposes.<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Expiration date:<\/strong> after 6 months<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Note:<\/strong> We cannot guarantee completeness of the information on saved data. This is, because especially concerning the use of cookies, changes can happen anytime. To identify the cookie NID, a test page was created, to which Google Maps was included.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How long and where is the data saved?<\/h3>\n<p>There are Google servers in data centres across the entire planet. However, most servers are in America. For this reason, your data is widely stored in the USA. Here you can read in detail about where the Google servers are located: <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/about\/datacenters\/inside\/locations\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/about\/datacenters\/inside\/locations\/?hl=en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Google distributes data to various data carriers. This makes it possible to retrieve the data faster and to better protect it from possible attempted manipulations. Every server has emergency programs. Thus, should for example a problem with Google\u2019s hardware occur or should a natural disaster impact the servers, any data will quite certainly stay protected.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, Google saves some data for a specified period. With some other data on the other hand, Google only offers the opportunity for deleting it manually. Furthermore, the company anonymises information (e.g. advertising data) in server logs, by deleting a part of the IP-address and cookie information after 9 to 18 months.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I delete my data, or prevent data retention?<\/h3>\n<p>Due to the automatic delete function for location and activity data, which was introduced in 2019, information that is used for determining your location and web or app activity is saved for either 3 or 18 months, depending on your preferred decision, and is deleted thereafter.<br \/>Furthermore, it is possible to delete this data manually from your browser history via your Google account anytime. If you want to prevent the determination of your location altogether, you must pause the category \u201cWeb and app activity\u201d in your Google account. Click on \u201cData and personalisation\u201d and then choose the option \u201cActivity controls\u201d. Here you can switch the activities on or off.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, in your browser you can deactivate, delete or manage individual cookies.

(1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).<\/p>\n<p>To use Google Fonts, you must log in and set up a password. Furthermore, no cookies will be saved in your browser. The data (CSS, Fonts) will be requested via the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, all requests for CSS and fonts are fully separated from any other Google services. If you have a Google account, you do not need to worry that your Google account details are transmitted to Google while you use Google Fonts. Google records the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) as well as the utilised fonts and stores these data securely. We will have a detailed look at how exactly the data storage works.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What are Google Fonts?<\/h3>\n<p>Google Fonts (previously Google Web Fonts) is a list of over 800 fonts which href=\u201dhttps:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Google?tid=111714495\u201d&gt;Google LLC provides its users for free.<\/p>\n<p>Many of these fonts have been published under the SIL Open Font License license, while others have been published under the Apache license. Both are free software licenses.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Google Fonts on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>With Google Fonts we can use different fonts on our website and do not have to upload them to our own server. Google Fonts is an important element which helps to keep the quality of our website high. All Google fonts are automatically optimised for the web, which saves data volume and is an advantage especially for the use of mobile terminal devices. When you use our website, the low data size provides fast loading times. Moreover, Google Fonts are secure Web Fonts. Various image synthesis systems (rendering) can lead to errors in different browsers, operating systems and mobile terminal devices. These errors could optically distort parts of texts or entire websites. Due to the fast Content Delivery Network (CDN) there are no cross-platform issues with Google Fonts. All common browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) are supported by Google Fonts, and it reliably operates on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod). We also use Google Fonts for presenting our entire online service as pleasantly and as uniformly as possible.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Which data is saved by Google?<\/h3>\n<p>Whenever you visit our website, the fonts are reloaded by a Google server. Through this external cue, data gets transferred to Google\u2019s servers. Therefore, this makes Google recognise that you (or your IP-address) is visiting our website. The Google Fonts API was developed to reduce the usage, storage and gathering of end user data to the minimum needed for the proper depiction of fonts. What is more, API stands for \u201eApplication Programming Interface\u201c and works as a software data intermediary.<\/p>\n<p>Google Fonts stores CSS and font requests safely with Google, and therefore it is protected. Using its collected usage figures, Google can determine how popular the individual fonts are. Google publishes the results on internal analysis pages, such as Google Analytics. Moreover, Google also utilises data of ist own web crawler, in order to determine which websites are using Google fonts. This data is published in Google Fonts\u2019 BigQuery database. Enterpreneurs and developers use Google\u2019s webservice BigQuery to be able to inspect and move big volumes of data.<\/p>\n<p>One more thing that should be considered, is that every request for Google Fonts automatically transmits information such as language preferences, IP address, browser version, as well as the browser\u2019s screen resolution and name to Google\u2019s servers. It cannot be clearly identified if this data is saved, as Google has not directly declared it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How long and where is the data stored?<\/h3>\n<p>Google saves requests for CSS assets for one day in a tag on their servers, which are primarily located outside of the EU. This makes it possible for us to use the fonts by means of a Google stylesheet. With the help of a stylesheet, e.g. designs or fonts of a website can get changed swiftly and easily.<\/p>\n<p>Any font related data is stored with Google for one year. This is because Google\u2019s aim is to fundamentally boost websites\u2019 loading times. With millions of websites referring to the same fonts, they are buffered after the first visit and instantly reappear on any other websites that are visited thereafter. Sometimes Google updates font files to either reduce the data sizes, increase the language coverage or to improve the design.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I delete my data or prevent it being stored?<\/h3>\n<p>The data Google stores for either a day or a year cannot be deleted easily. Upon opening the page this data is automatically transmitted to Google. In order to clear the data ahead of time, you have to contact Google\u2019s support at <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/support.google.com\/?hl=en-GB&amp;tid=111714495\">https:\/\/support.google.com\/?hl=en-GB&amp;tid=111714495<\/a>. The only way for you to prevent the retention of your data is by not visiting our website.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other web fonts, Google offers us unrestricted access to all its fonts. Thus, we have a vast sea of font types at our disposal, which helps us to get the most out of our website.

(1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).<br \/>We integrated Google Fonts locally, so on our own webserver and not on Google\u2019s servers. Hence, there is no connection to Google\u2019s servers and consequently no data transfer or retention.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What are Google Fonts?<\/h3>\n<p>Google Fonts was previously called Google Web Fonts.

With the use of Google Fonts, it is possible to utilise fonts without uploading them to your own server. For that matter, in order to prevent any transfer of information to Google\u2019s servers, we downloaded the fonts to our own server. This way we comply with the data privacy and do not transmit any data to Google Fonts.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike other web fonts, Google offers us unrestricted access to all its fonts.

It is a so-called open source mapping, which we can access via an API (interface). This feature is offered by OpenStreetMap Foundation, St John\u2019s Innovation Center, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, United Kingdom. By using this map function, your IP address will be forwarded to OpenStreetMap. In this privacy policy we will explain why we use the functions of the OpenStreetMap tool, where which data is stored and how you can prevent data storage.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is OpenStreetMap?<\/h3>\n<p>The OpenStreetMap project was launched in 2004. Its aim is to create a free world map. Users all around the world have been collecting data about buildings, forests, rivers and roads. Therefore, an extensive digital world map has been created by users over the years. Of course, the map is not complete, but it contains a lot of data for most regions.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use OpenStreetMap on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>The primary intention of your website is to be helpful to you. We think this can only be the case when information can be found quickly and easily. On the one hand, of course, this concerns our services and products. On the other hand, there should also be other helpful information available to you. That is why we also use OpenStreetMap\u2019s map service. Thanks to this, we can for example show you exactly how to find our company. The map shows you the best way to get to us and makes your journey very smooth and easy.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is stored by OpenStreetMap?<\/h3>\n<p>When you visit one of our websites that include OpenStreetMap, your user data is transmitted to the service where it is stored. OpenStreetMap collects information about your interactions with the digital map, your IP address, your browser, device type, operating system and on which day and at what time you used the service. Tracking software is also used to record user interactions. For this regard, the company specifiies the \u201cPiwik\u201d analysis tool in its own privacy policy.<\/p>\n<p>The collected data are then accessible to the relevant employee groups of the OpenStreetMap Foundation.

In the following we will only list data that is stored if you do not have a HERE account or are not logged in. The major type of data that is collected in addition to your IP address, are data that show where you are or what device you are using. In addition, also technical data such as your device type, charging speed, time stamp, network, WiFi and Bluetooth networks in your area are recorded.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, for any personal data such as your IP address, random identifiers are used. These make it impossible to identify you personally. Also, HERE can use and pass on all non-personal data in aggregated form without restriction.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned above, HERE WeGo also uses cookies to store data. Thus, your device will be identified upon your visit to the HERE website. What is more, third-party cookies are also set on behalf of the company so that analysis services can be used.

What is more, among other things Mapbox offers a mobile-friendly environment, visualises data and provides route information in real time.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Mapbox API on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>We strongly believe that the comprehensive service we offer with our products and services should also extend to our website. In fact, we want all our content to be of use to you. Of course this also includes maps that show you the way to our business.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data are stored by Mapbox API?<\/h3>\n<p>If you open one of our subpages containing an online map by Mapbox, data about your user behaviour may be collected and stored. This is essential for the integrated online maps to work properly. Moreover, Mapbox may pass on the collected data (excluding personal data) to third parties. This may happen either if the data transfer is necessary for legal reasons, or if Mapbox explicitly instructs another company to do so. Any map contents are transmitted directly to your browser and thus integrated into our website.<\/p>\n<p>Mapbox automatically collects certain technical information when requests are made to the APIs. This includes your IP address, browser information, your operating system, the request\u2019s content, restricted location and usage data, the URL of the website you visited and the date and time of your website visit. According to Mapbox, this data is only used to improve their own products. Mapbox also collects randomly generated IDs in order to analyse user behaviour and determine the number of active users.<\/p>\n<p>If you use one of our subpages and interact with an online map, Mapbox will set the following cookie in your browser:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name:<\/strong> ppcbb-enable-content-mapbox_js<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value:<\/strong> 1605795587111714495-4<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Purpose:<\/strong> We have not yet been able to find out more detailed information about the purpose of this cookie.<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Expiry date:<\/strong> after one year<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Note:<\/strong> In our tests we did not find any cookie in the Chrome browser, however, we did find it in other browsers.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Where and how long are data stored?<\/h3>\n<p>The collected data is stored and processed on American servers which are operated by Mapbox. For security reasons, your IP address is stored for 30 days, after which it is deleted. Randomly generated IDs (no personal data) that analyse the use of the APIs are deleted after 36 months.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I delete my data or prevent data retention?<\/h3>\n<p>If you do not want Mapbox to process data about you or your user behaviour, you can deactivate JavaScript in your browser settings. Of course, you will then no longer be able to use all functions to their full extent.<\/p>\n<p>You reserve the right to access your personal data at any time, as well as to object to them being used and processed. Any cookies that the Mapbox API may set can be managed, deleted or deactivated in your browser at any time. However, this may prevent the service from working properly. The process of managing, deleting or deactivating cookies works a little differently for each browser.

Google Analytics collects data on your actions on our website. Whenever you click a link for example, this action is saved in a cookie and transferred to Google Analytics. With the help of reports which we receive from Google Analytics, we can adapt our website and our services better to your wishes. In the following, we will explain the tracking tool in more detail, and most of all, we will inform you what data is saved and how you can prevent this.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is Google Analytics?<\/h3>\n<p>Google Analytics is a tracking tool with the purpose of conducting data traffic analysis of our website. For Google Analytics to work, there is a tracking code integrated to our website. Upon your visit to our website, this code records various actions you perform on your website. As soon as you leave our website, this data is sent to the Google Analytics server, where it is stored.<\/p>\n<p>Google processes this data and we then receive reports on your user behaviour. These reports can be one of the following:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"adsimple-111714495\">\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Target audience reports: With the help of target audience reports we can get to know our users better and can therefore better understand who is interested in our service.<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Advertising reports: Through advertising reports we can analyse our online advertising better and hence improve it.<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Acquisition reports: Acquisition reports provide us helpful information on how we can get more people enthusiastic about our service.<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Behaviour reports: With these reports, we can find out how you interact with our website. By the means of behaviour reports, we can understand what path you go on our website and what links you click.<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Conversion reports: A conversion is the process of leading you to carry out a desired action due to a marketing message. An example of this would be transforming you from a mere website visitor into a buyer or a newsletter subscriber. Hence, with the help of these reports we can see in more detail, if our marketing measures are successful with you. Our aim is to increase our conversion rate.<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Real time reports: With the help of these reports we can see in real time, what happens on our website. It makes us for example see, we can see how many users are reading this text right now.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Google Analytics on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>The objective of our website is clear: We want to offer you the best possible service. Google Analytics\u2019 statistics and data help us with reaching this goal.<\/p>\n<p>Statistically evaluated data give us a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses of our website. On the one hand, we can optimise our page in a way, that makes it easier to be found by interested people on Google. On the other hand, the data helps us to get a better understanding of you as our visitor. Therefore, we can very accurately find out what we must improve on our website, in order to offer you the best possible service. The analysis of that data also enables us to carry out our advertising and marketing measures in a more individual and more cost-effective way. After all, it only makes sense to show our products and services exclusively to people who are interested in them.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data gets stored by Google Analytics?<\/h3>\n<p>With the aid of a tracking code, Google Analytics creates a random, unique ID which is connected to your browser cookie. That way, Google Analytics recognises you as a new user. The next time you visit our site, you will be recognised as a \u201crecurring\u201d user. All data that is collected gets saved together with this very user ID. Only this is how it is made possible for us to evaluate and analyse pseudonymous user profiles.<\/p>\n<p>Your interactions on our website are measures by tags such as cookies and app instance IDs. Interactions are all kinds of actions that you perform on our website. If you are also using other Google systems (such as a Google Account), data generated by Google Analytics can be linked with third-party cookies. Google does not pass on any Google Analytics data, unless we as the website owners authorise it. In case it is required by law, exceptions can occur.<\/p>\n<p>The following cookies are used by Google Analytics:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name:<\/strong> _ga<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value:<\/strong>2.1326744211.152111714495-5<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Purpose:<\/strong> By deafault, analytics.js uses the cookie _ga, to save the user ID.

This process is called IP location determination.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Technical information:<\/strong> Information about your browser type, your internet provider and your screen resolution are called technical information.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Source:<\/strong> Both, Google Analytics as well as ourselves, are interested what website or what advertisement led you to our site.<\/p>\n<p>Further possibly stored data includes contact data, potential reviews, playing media (e.g. when you play a video on our site), sharing of contents via social media or adding our site to your favourites. This list is not exhaustive and only serves as general guidance on Google Analytics\u2019 data retention.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How long and where is the data saved?<\/h3>\n<p>Google has servers across the globe. Most of them are in America and therefore your data is mainly saved on American servers. Here you can read detailed information on where Google\u2019s data centres are located: <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/about\/datacenters\/inside\/locations\/?hl=en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/about\/datacenters\/inside\/locations\/?hl=en<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Your data is allocated to various physical data mediums. This has the advantage of allowing to retrieve the data faster, and of protecting it better from manipulation. Every Google data centre has respective emergency programs for your data. Hence, in case of a hardware failure at Google or a server error due to natural disasters, the risk for a service interruption stays relatively low.<\/p>\n<p>Google Analytics has a 26 months standardised period of retaining your user data. After this time, your user data is deleted. However, we have the possibility to choose the retention period of user data ourselves. There are the following five options:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"adsimple-111714495\">\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Deletion after 14 months<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Deletion after 26 months<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Deletion after 38 months<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Deletion after 50 months<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">No automatical deletion<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As soon as the chosen period is expired, the data is deleted once a month. This retention period applies to any of your data which is linked to cookies, user identification and advertisement IDs (e.g. cookies of the DoubleClick domain). Any report results are based on aggregated information and are stored independently of any user data. Aggregated information is a merge of individual data into a single and bigger unit.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I delete my data or prevent data retention?<\/h3>\n<p>Under the provisions of the European Union\u2019s data protection law, you have the right to obtain information on your data and to update, delete or restrict it. With the help of a browser add on that can deactivate Google Analytics\u2019 JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js), you can prevent Google Analytics from using your data. You can download this add on at <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout?hl=en-GB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/tools.google.com\/dlpage\/gaoptout?hl=en-GB<\/a>.

Through this, any existing Google Analytics functions (advertising reports, remarketing, cross-device reports and reports on interests and demographic characteristics) are updated, to result in the summary and anonymisation of your data, should you have permitted personalised ads in your Google Account.<\/p>\n<p>The special aspect of this is that it involves cross-device tracking. That means your data can be analysed across multiple devices. Through the activation of Google signals, data is collected and linked to the Google account. For example, it enables Google to recognise when you look at a product on a smartphone and later buy the product on a laptop. Due to activating Google signals, we can start cross-device remarketing campaigns, which would otherwise not be possible to this extent. Remarketing means, that we can show you our products and services across other websites as well.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, further visitor data such as location, search history, YouTube history and data about your actions on our website are collected in Google Analytics. As a result, we receive improved advertising reports and more useful information on your interests and demographic characteristics. These include your age, the language you speak, where you live or what your gender is. Certain social criteria such as your job, your marital status or your income are also included. All these characteristics help Google Analytics to define groups of persons or target audiences.<\/p>\n<p>Those reports also help us to better assess your behaviour, as well as your wishes and interests. As a result, we can optimise and customise our products and services for you. By default, this data expires after 26 months. Please consider, that this data is only collected if you have agreed to personalised advertisement in your Google Account. The retained information is always exclusively summarised and anonymous data, and never any data on individual persons.

If you click on a link for instance, Google Analytics stores this click via the integrated plugin and creates informative web analyses with the collected data. In this privacy policy, we will go into more detail on MonsterInsights and inform you which of your data is retained where and how.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is MonsterInsights?<\/h3>\n<p>MonsterInsights uses the Google Analytics Reporting API to collect data about our website and visitor behaviour. These data are evaluated and then appear as diagrams, graphics and tables directly on our WordPress dashboard. Moreover, for the plugin to work, a Google Analytics tracking code must be integrated into our WordPress page. The plugin offers functions such as page analyses, statistics or ads tracking. With the help of this plugin, we can set up functions such as event tracking, eCommerce tracking or outbound link tracking for our website. This can be done very easily and without any programming knowledge. With MonsterInsights, we can see all important statistics in a single place directly on our dashboard.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use MonsterInsights?<\/h3>\n<p>MonsterInsights makes using Google Analytics a lot easier for us, as we can see the most important analyses on our dashboard right away and don\u2019t always have to switch to Google Analytics. Google Analytics provides us with important data about visitor behaviour on our website. With the help of this data, we can adapt our website and our offer better to your wishes. We use the statistics we obtain to make our website more interesting and to target our advertisements.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Which data are stored by MonsterInsights and Google Analytics?<\/h3>\n<p>Upon installation of the MonsterInsights plugin, a Google Analytics tracking code was integrated into our WordPress website. This is used by Google Analytics to create a random, unique ID which is linked to your browser cookie. This helps to identify you as a new visitor to our website. If you visit again, you will be recognised as a so-called \u201crecurring\u201d user. Subsequently, all collected data will be stored with the user ID, whereafter pseudonymous user profiles will be created and evaluated. Your actions on our website are stored in cookies and app instance IDs. If you are using other Google services, the generated data may also be linked to third-party cookies.<\/p>\n<p>All tracking is carried out and retained by Google Analytics. MonsterInsights forwards all data directly to Google Analytics in order to process them on behalf of MonsterInsights. Google will only pass on this data if we allow so or if it is required by the law. MonsterInsights does not use its own cookies to store data, but the code added by MonsterInsights loads Google Analytics, which will set cookies.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, it is recorded which website you came to us from, which buttons and links you click, how long you stay on a certain page for and when you leave the site again. Furthermore, your IP address is shown and stored in abbreviated form so it will not be possible to assign it to you as a person. Your location may also be approximately determined via your IP address, and technical information such as your device type, browser type, Internet provider or your screen resolution may also be retained.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to know more about data retention and data processing, we recommend you to read our general privacy policy for Google Analytics.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How long and where are the data stored?<\/h3>\n<p>MonsterInsights does not store the collected data, but forwards them to Google Analytics. There, the data will be retained on Google\u2019s servers. These servers are distributed around the world, but most are located in the United States. At the link <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/about\/datacenters\/locations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/about\/datacenters\/locations\/<\/a> you can see exactly at which locations data centers can be found. By default, your data is stored by Google for 26 months, but you can also choose different retention periods. Also, please take a look at our Google Analytics privacy policy. The retention period applies to data linked to cookies, user identification and advertising ID. Furthermore, web analyses that appear as reports are generated by aggregated data and are stored independently of your user data.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I delete my data or prevent data retention?<\/h3>\n<p>You reserve the right to information, updating, deletion and restriction of your data at any time.

For this, we use email marketing, which is an essential part of our online marketing. If you agree to this or if it is permitted by law, we will send you newsletters, emails or other notifications. When the term \u201cnewsletter\u201d is used in the following text, it mainly refers to emails that are sent regularly.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can you register for our Email-Marketing?<\/h3>\n<p>If you want to participate in our email marketing (usually via newsletter), you usually have to register with your email address only. You will simply have to fill an online form and submit it. However, we may also ask you to fill in your title and name so we will be able to address you more personally.<\/p>\n<p>Generally, the registration for newsletters is carried out with the so-called \u201cdouble opt-in procedure\u201d. After registering for our newsletter on our website, you will receive an email for you to confirm the newsletter registration. This will ensure that you own your email address and that no one registers with an email address that is not owned by them. Every single registration is stored either by us or by a notification tool we use. This is necessary for us to ensure that registration processes are legally correct. Therefore, the time of your registration, the time of confirmation of your registration and your IP address are usually retained. It will also be logged if you make changes to your stored data.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How long can we store your email address?<\/h3>\n<p>If you unsubscribe from our email\/newsletter distribution list, we may store your address for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests, so that we can still prove your consent at the time. We are only allowed to process this data if we have to defend ourselves against any claims.<\/p>\n<p>However, if you confirm that you have given us your consent to subscribe to the newsletter, you can submit an individual request for deletion at any time. Should you object to your consent permanently, we reserve the right to save your email address in a blacklist. We will of course keep your email address for as long as you are voluntarily subscribed to our newsletter.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">On what legal basis do we operate email marketing?<\/h3>\n<p>Our newsletter is sent on the basis of your consent. This means that we are only allowed to send you a newsletter if you have actively registered for it beforehand. If consent is not required, newsletters will be sent on the basis of the legitimate interest in direct marketing, provided it is legally permitted. Should we commission a service provider, this will be done on the basis of our legitimate interest also. We record your registration process for the purpose of using it as proof that it is in compliance with our laws.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is in our newsletters?<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, we do not want to bother you with our newsletter in any way. Therefore, we really strive to offer only relevant and interesting content, such as more information about our company, our services or our products. Since we are continuously improving our offers, our newsletter will always update you on any news or special offers and lucrative promotions.<\/p>\n<p>If we commission a service provider with a professional mailing tool for our email marketing, we do this in order to be able to offer you our newsletter fast and securely.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Which data are retained?<\/h3>\n<p>If you subscribe to our newsletter via our website, you will confirm your membership in our email list via an email that we will send to you. In addition to your IP address and email address, your name, address and telephone number may also be saved. However, this will only be done if you agree to this data retention. Moreover, information about your device or the type of content you prefer on our website may also be stored. In the \u201cAutomatic data storage\u201d section you can find out more about how your data is stored when you visit a website.<\/p>\n<p>You can find information on special email marketing services in the following sections, provided the information you are looking for is available.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I cancel my subscription?<\/h3>\n<p>You have the option to cancel your newsletter subscription at any time. All you have to do is revoke your consent to the newsletter subscription. This usually only takes a few minutes or a few clicks. Most of the time you will find a link directly in our newsletter, with which you will be able to cancel the subscription. Should you not be able to find the link in the newsletter, you can contact us by email and we will cancel your newsletter subscription for you.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mailchimp-datenschutzerklaerung-en\" class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"36px\">MailChimp Privacy Policy<\/h2>\n<p>Like many other websites, we use the services of the newsletter company MailChimp on our website.

With the aid of MailChimp we can easily send you interesting news via newsletter. For the use of the service we do not have to install anything but can still access a pool of very efficient features. In the following we will give more details on this email marketing service and will inform you about the most important data protection aspects.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is MailChimp?<\/h3>\n<p>MailChimp is a cloud-based newsletter management service. \u201cCloud-based\u201c means that we do not need to install MailChimp on our own computer or server. Instead, we use the service on an external server, or more specifically via an IT infrastructure, which is available via the internet. Using a software this way is also called SaaS (software as a service).<\/p>\n<p>MailChimp allows us to chose from a wide range of different email types. Depending on what goal we want to reach with our newsletter, we can run individual campaigns, regular campaigns, auto responders (automated emails), A\/B tests, RSS campaigns (mailings at pre-set times and frequencies) and follow-up campaigns.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use MailChimp on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>The reason we would use any newsletter service is so we can stay in contact with you. We want to keep you on the loop what news or attractive offers we have for you at the time. As we constantly seek out the easiest and best solutions for our marketing measures, we have decided on MailChimp as our newsletter management service. While the software is very easy to use, it offers many helpful features. For example, it allows us to create interesting and attractive newsletters in only a short time. With integrated design templates we can create every newsletter in an individual way. Due to the \u201cresponsive design\u201d feature, our contents are also presented in a readable and pleasant way on your smartphone (or any other mobile device).<\/p>\n<p>With tools such as A\/B testing or the extensive analysis options, we can swiftly tell how you like our newsletters. This means that we can react if necessary and improve our offer or our services.<\/p>\n<p>Another advantage is MailChimp\u2019s \u201ccloud system\u201d. The data is not stored and processed directly on our server. We can retrieve the datafrom external servers and therefore save our memory space and also decrease maintenance effort.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is saved by MailChimp?<\/h3>\n<p>Rocket Science Group LLC (MailChimp) operate online platforms which enable us to get in contact with you, provided you subscribed to our newsletter. If you become a subscriber of our newsletter via our website, by email you agree to become a member of a MailChimp email list. Then, MailChimp saves your subscription data and your IP address, so it can verify your entry into the list provider. Moreover, MailChimp stores your email address, your name, your physical address and demographic information, such as language or location.<\/p>\n<p>This information is used to send emails to you and to allow certain other MailChimp functions (e.g. the evaluation of newsletters).<\/p>\n<p>MailChimp also shares information with third parties to improve its services. Moreover, MailChimp shares certain data with advertising partners of third parties to get a better understanding of its clients\u2019 interests, in order to provide relevant contents and target-oriented advertising.<\/p>\n<p>With so-called \u201cweb beacons\u201d (small graphics in HTML emails), MailChimp can determine if an email has arrived, has been opened or if links have been clicked. This information is then stored on MailChimp\u2019s servers. That way we receive statistical evaluations and can see how you liked our newsletter. Therefore, we can tailor our offer better to your wishes and improve our service.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, MailChimp are allowed to use this data for improving their own service. Thus, they can for example technically optimise the distribution or determine the location (or the country) of the recipient.<\/p>\n<p>The following cookies can be set by MailChimp.

It is an advertising program of the company Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). With Google AdSense we can show advertisements that fit our theme. Thus, we can offer you adverts that ideally give you added value. In this privacy statement on Google AdSense we will explain to you, why we use Google AdSense on our website and which of your data is processed and saved, as well as how you can prevent this data retention.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is Google AdSense?<\/h3>\n<p>The advertising program Google AdSense has been around since 2003. As opposed to Google Ads (previously: Google AdWords) it is not possible to advertise on Google AdSense oneself. Google AdSense displays advertisements on websites, such as ours. The biggest advantage of this web service compared to some others, is that Google AdSense only shows ads to you which match our website\u2019s contents. Google has its own algorithm which calculates what ads are shown to you. Of course, we only want to show you ads that interest you and provide you added value. Google checks which advertisements are suitable for our users, considering your interests, your user behaviour and our offer. At this point we want to mention that we are not responsible for the choice of the ads. We merely offer advertising space on our website, while Google selects the displayed ads. Moreover, since August 2013 the ads are customised to the respective user interface. This means, that no matter if you visit our website with your smartphone, your PC or your laptop, the ads adjust to your terminal device.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Google AdSense on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>The operation of a high-quality website requires tremendous dedication and commitment. We are essentially never finished with working on our website. This is, because we continuously maintain and keep our website up to date. Of course, we want to achieve economic success with this work. Therefore, we decided for to use advertisements as a source of revenue. It is most important to us however, that we do not disrupt your visit to our website with these advertisements. Thence, with the aid of Google AdSense, only adverts that are tailored to you and our themes are shown.<\/p>\n<p>Like with Google\u2019s indexation for a website, a bot examines both, the matching content and the offers on our website. Then, the ads are adapted to and presented on the website. Alongside the contextual overlaps between the ads and website offer, AdSense also supports interest-based targeting. This means, that Google also uses your data to offer advertising that is tailored to you. That way you receive ads that ideally offer you added value, and it gives us a higher chance of earning a bit.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is stored by Google AdSense?<\/h3>\n<p>Google AdSense uses cookies to display ads that are customised to you. Cookies are little text files, that store certain information on your computer.<\/p>\n<p>Cookies are supposed to enable improved advertisements in AdSense. They do not contain any personally identifiable data. However, it should be considered that Google does not view data such as \u201cPseudonymous Cookie-IDs\u201d (name or other identification feature is replaced with a pseudonym) or IP addresses as personally identifiable information. Although, within the framework of the GDPR, this data can be classified as personal data. Following every impression (every time you see an ad), every click and any other activity that leads to a call on its servers, Google AdSense sends a cookie to the browser. The cookie is then saved in the browser, provided the browser accepts it.<\/p>\n<p>Under certain circumstances, third parties can place cookies in your browser, and read them or use web beacons, to store data they receive through the display of ads on the website. Web beacons are little graphics that analyse and a record the log file. This analysis allows a statistical evaluation for the online marketing.<\/p>\n<p>Through this cookie, Google can collect certain information on your user behaviour on our website. These include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"adsimple-111714495\">\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Information on how you interact with an ad (clicks, impressions, mouse movements)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Information if an ad has already been displayed in your browser. This data helps to prevent an ad from showing multiple times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Thereby, Google evaluates and analyses data on the displayed advertising material along with your IP address. Primarily, Google uses the data to measure the effectiveness of an ad and improve the advertising offer. Moreover, the data does not get linked to your personal data which Google might have received via other Google services.<\/p>\n<p>In the following we will introduce you to the cookies that Google AdSense uses for tracking purposes.

Like any affiliate program, the Amazon Associates Program is also based on the principle of intermediation commissions. Amazon (or we) place advertisements or partner links on our website, which let us receive a reimbursement of advertising costs (commission) if you click on them and buy a product on Amazon.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use the Amazon Associates Program on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>Our aim is to provide you a pleasant time with extensive, helpful content. Therefore, we put a lot of work and energy into the development of our website. With the aid of the Amazon Associates Program, we can receive a little remuneration for our work. Of course, every affiliate link to Amazon is related with our theme and shows offers that may interest you.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is stored by the Amazon Associates Program?<\/h3>\n<p>As soon as you interact with the products and services of Amazon, the company collects your data. Amazon differentiates between information you actively gave to the business and information that is collected and retained automatically. \u201cActive information\u201d include name, email address, telephone number, age, payment details or location information. So-called \u201cautomatic information\u201d are primarily saved by cookies. This includes information, user behaviour, IP address, device information (browser type, operating systems) or the URL. Moreover, Amazon also saves the clickstream, which is the path (order of pages) you make as a user in order to get to a product.

Thus, we want to draw more people\u2019s attention on the internet to the high quality of our offers. As part of our advertising measures with Google Ads, we use the conversion tracking of Google LLC., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (\u201cGoogle\u201d) on our website. With the aid of this free tracking tool we can tailor our advertising offer better to your interests and needs. In the following article we will explain, why we use conversion tracking, what data gets saved and how you can prevent this data retention.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is Google Ads conversion tracking?<\/h3>\n<p>Google Ads (previously Google AdWords) is the internal online advertising sxstem of the company Google LLC. We are convinced of our offer\u2018s quality and would like as many people as possible to discover our website. For this, Google Ads offers the best platform within the online environment. Of course, we also want to get an overview of the cost-benefit factor of our advertising campaigns. Thence, we use Google Ads\u2019 conversion tracking tool.<\/p>\n<p>But what is a conversion actually? A conversion occurs, when you turn from an interested visitor into an acting website visitor. This happens every time you click on our ad and then make another action, such as paying a visit to our website. With Google\u2019s conversion tracking tool, we can understand what happens after a user clicks our Google ad. It shows us for instance if products get bought, services are used or whether users have subscribed to our newsletter.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Google Ads conversion tracking on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>We use Google Ads to show our offer also across other websites. Our aim is for our advertising campaigns to reach only those people, who are interested in our offers. With the conversion tracking tool, we see what keywords, ads, ad groups and campaigns lead to the desired customer actions. We see how many customers interact with our ads on a device, to then convert. With this data we can calculate our cost-benefit-factor, measure the success of individual ad campaigns and therefore optimise our online marketing measures. With the help of the obtained data we can give our website a more interesting design and customise our advertising offer better to your needs.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is stored with Google Ads conversion tracking?<\/h3>\n<p>For a better analysis of certain user actions, we have integrated a conversion tracking tag, or code snippet to our website. Therefore, if you click one of our Google ads, a Google domain stores the cookie \u201cconversion\u201d on your computer (usually in the browser) or on your mobile device. Cookies are little text files that save information on your computer.<\/p>\n<p>Here are data of the most significant cookies for Google\u2019s conversion tracking:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name:<\/strong> Conversion<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value:<\/strong> EhMI_aySuoyv4gIVled3Ch0llweVGAEgt-mr6aXd7dYlSAGQ111714495-3<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Purpose: <\/strong>This cookie saves every conversion you make on our website after you came to us via a Google ad.<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Expiry date:<\/strong> after 3 months<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name:<\/strong> _gac<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value:<\/strong> 1.1558695989.EAIaIQobChMIiOmEgYO04gIVj5AYCh2CBAPrEAAYASAAEgIYQfD_BwE<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\"> Purpose:<\/strong> This is a classic Google Analytics Cookie that records various actions on our website.<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\"> Expiry date:<\/strong> after 3 months<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Note:<\/strong> The cookie _gac only appears in connection with Google Analytics. The above list does not claim to be exhaustive, as Google repeatedly change the cookies they use for analytical evaluation.<\/p>\n<p>As soon as you complete an action on our website, Google identifies the cookie and saves your action as a so-called conversion. For as long as you surf our website, provided the cookie has not expired, both Google and us can determine that you found your way to us via a Google ad. Then, the cookie is read and sent back to Google Ads, together with the conversion data. Moreover, other cookies may also be used for measuring conversions. Google Ads\u2018 conversion tracking can be fine-tuned and improved with the aid of Google Analytics. Furthermore, ads which Google displays in various places across the web, might be placed under our domain with the name \u201c__gads\u201d or \u201c_gac\u201d.<br \/>Since September 2017, analytics.js retains various campaign information with the _gac cookie. This cookie stores data, as soon as you open one of our sites that has been set up for Google Ads\u2019 auto-tagging. In contrast to cookies that are placed for Google domains, Google can only read these conversion cookies when you are on our website. We do neither collect nor receive any personal data. We do obtain a report with statistical evaluations by Google. With the help thereof, we can not only see the total number of users who clicked our ad, but also what advertising measures were well received.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How long and where is the data stored?<\/h3>\n<p>At this point we want to reiterate, that we have no influence on how Google use the collected data. According to Google, the data are encrypted and saved on a secure server. In most cases, conversion cookies expire after 30 days, and do not transmit any personalised data. The cookies named \u201cconversion\u201c and \u201c_gac\u201c (which is used with Google Analytics) have an expiry date of 3 months.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I delete my data or prevent data retention?<\/h3>\n<p>You have the possibility to opt out of Google Ads\u2019 conversion tracking. The conversion tracking can be blocked by deactivating the conversion tracking cookie via your browser. If you do this, you will not be considered for the statistic of the tracking tool. You can change the cookie settings in your browser anytime. Doing so, works a little different in every browser.

With the help of Microsoft Advertising, we want to draw many people\u2019s attention to the high quality of our products and\/or services. For this, we use a technology (conversion tracking tool) by Microsoft on our website, which also stores your data. In this privacy policy, we will go into more detail about this service, show you which of your data is stored, managed, and processed and how you can prevent this data retention.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is Microsoft Advertising?<\/h3>\n<p>Perhaps you know Microsoft Advertising by its former name \u201cBing Ads\u201d. It is an advertising program by Microsoft which is based on a Pay-Per-Click system. This means that advertisers can advertise through the search engines Bing and Yahoo! and only pay when a user clicks the ad.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Microsoft Advertising?<\/h3>\n<p>We are convinced of our offers, and therefore, we of course want to show them to a wider public. With Microsoft Advertising, we can bring our products or services closer to precisely those people who are specifically interested in them. Moreover, we want to present our products not only on the famous search engine Google, but also on Bing and Yahoo! Microsoft Advertising also gives us the option of placing ads in the so-called \u201cMicrosoft Audience Network\u201d. This allows us to also place advertisements on LinkedIn for example. Furthermore, conversion tracking for example tells us, which advertisement you used to find us, which one of our subpages you particularly like and which actions you are taking on our website. This data enables us to tailor our website, our advertisements, and our offers much better to your needs.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is stored by Microsoft Advertising?<\/h3>\n<p>We have integrated a conversion tracking tag (i.e. a small code snippet) from Microsoft Advertising to our website. This snippet is known as the Universal Event Tracking (UET) tag. If you come to our website via a Microsoft advertisement, we can use this tracking tool to find out more about your user behaviour on our website. For example, we can find out which keyword or ad led you to us, what you clicked on our website, how long you stayed on our website, as well as how many people visit our website via Microsoft Ads. All these data relate to user behaviour but not to any personal information. In this sense, we only receive data or analyses of your web behaviour, but none of your personal information. Microsoft uses the data to optimise its own promotional offer as well as other services. If you have a Microsoft account yourself, the data collected may be linked to your account. Moreover, Microsoft might also recognise and store your IP address. To save all data on your user behaviour, the following cookie is set in your browser after you have visited our website via a Microsoft ad:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name: <\/strong>MUIDB<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value: <\/strong>08A53CA3313F6255044C307E353F61CD<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Purpose:<\/strong>This cookie is set by our embedded Microsoft tag (UET tag) and is used for synchronisation purposes across various Microsoft websites.

Facebook is a social media network of the company Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland. With the aid of this tool we can provide the best possible offers to you and anyone interested in our products and services. In the following we will give you an overview on the different Facebook tools, as well as on what data is sent to Facebook and how you can delete these data.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What are Facebook tools?<\/h3>\n<p>Along with many other products, Facebook also offers so called \u201cFacebook Business Tools\u201d. This is Facebook\u2019s official name for the tools, but it is not very common. Therefore, we decided to merely call them \u201cFacebook tools\u201d. They include the following:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"adsimple-111714495\">\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Facebook-Pixel<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">social plugins (e.g. the \u201cLike\u201d or \u201cShare\u201c button)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Facebook Login<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Account Kit<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">APIs (application programming interface)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">SDKs (Softwart developmept kits)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Plattform-integrations<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Plugins<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Codes<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Specifications<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Documentations<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Technologies and Services<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>With these tools Facebook can extend its services and is able to receive information on user activities outside of Facebook.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Facebook tools on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>We only want to show our services and products to people who are genuinely interested in them. With the help of advertisements (Facebook Ads) we can reach exactly these people. However, to be able to show suitable adverts to users, Facebook requires additional information on people\u2019s needs and wishes. Therefore, information on the user behaviour (and contact details) on our website, are provided to Facebook. Consequently, Facebook can collect better user data and is able to display suitable adverts for our products or services. Thanks to the tools it is possible to create targeted, customised ad campaigns of Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook calls data about your behaviour on our website \u201cevent data\u201d and uses them for analytics services. That way, Facebook can create \u201ccampaign reports\u201d about our ad campaigns\u2019 effectiveness on our behalf. Moreover, by analyses we can get a better insight in how you use our services, our website or our products. Therefore, some of these tools help us optimise your user experience on our website. With the social plugins for instance, you can share our site\u2019s contents directly on Facebook.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is saved by the Facebook tools?<\/h3>\n<p>With the use of the Facebook tools, personal data (customer data) may be sent to Facebook. Depending on the tools used, customer data such as name, address, telephone number and IP address may be transmitted.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook uses this information to match the data with the data it has on you (if you are a Facebook member). However, before the customer data is transferred to Facebook, a so called \u201cHashing\u201d takes place. This means, that a data record of any size is transformed into a string of characters, which also has the purpose of encrypting data.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, not only contact data, but also \u201cevent data\u201c is transferred. These data are the information we receive about you on our website. To give an example, it allows us to see what subpages you visit or what products you buy from us. Facebook does not disclose the obtained information to third parties (such as advertisers), unless the company has an explicit permission or is legally obliged to do so. Also, \u201cevent data\u201c can be linked to contact information, which helps Facebook to offer improved, customised adverts. Finally, after the previously mentioned matching process, Facebook deletes the contact data.<\/p>\n<p>To deliver optimised advertisements, Facebook only uses event data, if they have been combined with other data (that have been collected by Facebook in other ways). Facebook also uses event data for the purposes of security, protection, development and research. Many of these data are transmitted to Facebook via cookies. Cookies are little text files, that are used for storing data or information in browsers. Depending on the tools used, and on whether you are a Facebook member, a different number of cookies are placed in your browser. In the descriptions of the individual Facebook tools we will go into more detail on Facebook cookies. You can also find general information about the use of Facebook cookies at <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/policies\/cookies?tid=111714495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/policies\/cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How long and where are the data saved?<\/h3>\n<p>Facebook fundamentally stores data, until they are no longer of use for their own services and products. Facebook has servers for storing their data all around the world. However, customer data is cleared within 48 hours after they have been matched with their own user data.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I delete my data or prevent data retention?<\/h3>\n<p>In accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) you have the right of information, rectification, transfer and deletion of your data.<\/p>\n<p>The collected data is only fully deleted, when you delete your entire Facebook account. Deleting your Facebook account works as follows:<\/p>\n<p>1) Click on settings in the top right side in Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>2) Then, click \u201cYour Facebook information\u201c in the left column.<\/p>\n<p>3) Now click on \u201cDeactivation and deletion\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>4) Choose \u201cPermanently delete account\u201c and then click on \u201cContinue to account deletion\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>5) Enter your password, click on \u201ccontinue\u201c and then on \u201cDelete account\u201c.<\/p>\n<p>The retention of data Facebook receives via our site is done via cookies (e.g. with social plugins), among others.

We hope we could give you an understanding of the most important information about the use of Facebook tools and data processing. If you want to find out more on how Facebook use your data, we recommend reading the data policies at <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/about\/privacy\/update\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/about\/privacy\/update<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"instagram-datenschutzerklaerung-en\" class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"24\" data-lineheight=\"36px\">Instagram Privacy Policy<\/h2>\n<p>We have integrated functions of Instagram to our website. Instagram is a social media platform of the company Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Rd, Menlo Park CA 94025, USA. Since 2012, Instagram is a subsidiary company of Facebook Inc. and is a part of Facebook\u2019s products. The inclusion of Instagram\u2019s contents on our website is called embedding. With this, we can show you Instagram contents such as buttons, photos or videos directly on our website. If you open websites of our online presence, that have an integrated Instagram function, data gets transmitted to, as well as stored and processed by Instagram. Instagram uses the same systems and technologies as Facebook. Therefore, your data will be processed across all Facebook firms.<\/p>\n<p>In the following, we want to give you a more detailed insight on why Instagram collects data, what data these are and how you can control data processing. As Instagram belongs to Facebook Inc., we have, on the one hand received this information from the Instagram guidelines, and on the other hand from Facebook\u2019s Data Policy.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is Instagram?<\/h3>\n<p>Instagram is one of the most famous social media networks worldwide. Instagram combines the benefits of a blog with the benefits of audio-visual platforms such as YouTube or Vimeo. To \u201cInsta\u201c (how the platform is casually called by many users) you can upload photos and short videos, edit them with different filters and also share them to other social networks. Also, if you do not want to be active on Instagram yourself, you can just follow other interesting users.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Instagram on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>Instagram is a social media platform whose success has skyrocketed within recent years. Naturally, we have also reacted to this boom. We want you to feel as comfortable as possible on our website. Therefore, we attach great importance to diversified contents. With the embedded Instagram features we can enrich our content with helpful, funny or exciting Instagram contents. Since Instagram is a subsidiary company of Facebook, the collected data can also serve us for customised advertising on Facebook. Hence, only persons who are genuinely interested in our products or services can see our ads.<\/p>\n<p>Instagram also uses the collected data for tracking and analysis purposes. We receive summarised statistics and therefore more insight to your wishes and interests. It is important to mention that these reports do not identify you personally.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is saved by Instagram?<\/h3>\n<p>Whenever you land on one of our sites, which have Instagram functions (i.e. Instagram photos or plugins) integrated to them, your browser automatically connects with Instagram\u2019s servers. Thereby, data is sent to, as well as saved and processed by Instagram. This always happens, whether you have an Instagram account or not. Moreover, it includes information on our website, your computer, your purchases, the advertisements you see and on how you use our offer. The date and time of your interaction is also stored. If you have an Instagram account or are logged in, Instagram saves significantly more data on you.<\/p>\n<p>Facebook distinguishes between customer data and event data. We assume this is also the case for Instagram. Customer data are for example names, addresses, phone numbers and IP addresses. These data are only transmitted to Instagram, if they have been \u201chashed\u201d first. Thereby, a set of data is transformed into a string of characters, which encrypts any contact data. Moreover, the aforementioned \u201cevent data\u201c (data on your user behaviour) is transmitted as well. It is also possible, that contact data may get combined with event data. The collected data data is matched with any data Instagram already has on you.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, the gathered data are transferred to Facebook via little text files (cookies) which usually get set in your browser. Depending on the Instagram function used, and whether you have an Instagram account yourself, the amount of data that gets stored varies.<\/p>\n<p>We assume data processing on Instagram works the same way as on Facebook. Therefore, if you have an account on Instagram or have visited <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"http:\/\/www.instagram.com?tid=111714495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.instagram.com<\/a>, Instagram has set at least one cookie. If this is the case, your browser uses the cookie to send information to Instagram, as soon as you come across an Instagram function. No later than 90 days (after matching) the data is deleted or anonymised. Even though we have studied Instagram\u2019s data processing in-depth, we cannot tell for sure what exact data Instagram collects and retains.<\/p>\n<p>In the following we will show you a list of the least cookies placed in your browser when click on an Instagram function (e.g. button or an Insta picture). In our test we assume you do not have an Instagram account, since if you would be logged in to your Instagram account, your browser would place significantly more cookies.<br \/>The following cookies were used in our test:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name: <\/strong>csrftoken<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value: <\/strong>\u201c\u201d<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\"> Purpose: <\/strong>This cookie is most likely set for security reasons to prevent falsifications of requests.

Furthermore, you can manage your data in Instagram\u2019s settings. If you want to delete your data on Instagram completely, you will have to delete your Instagram account permanently.<\/p>\n<p>And this is how an Instagram account can be deleted:<\/p>\n<p>First, open the Instagram app. Then, navigate to your profile page, select the three bars in the top right, choose \u201cSettings\u201d and then click \u201cHelp\u201d. Now, you will be redirected to the company\u2019s website, where you must click on \u201cManaging Your Account\u201d and then \u201cDelete Your Account\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>When you delete your account completely, Instagram deletes posts such as your photos and status updates. Any information other people shared about you are not a part of your account and do therefore not get deleted.<\/p>\n<p>As mentioned before, Instagram primarily stores your data via cookies. You can manage, deactivate or delete these cookies in your browser. Depending on your browser, managing them varies a bit.

Social plugins can be feeds, content sharing or a link to our LinkedIn page. Social plugins are clearly marked with the well-known LinkedIn logo and for example allow sharing interesting content directly via our website. Moreover, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place in Dublin is responsible for data processing in the European Economic Area and Switzerland.<\/p>\n<p>By embedding these plugins, data can be sent to, as well as stored and processed by LinkedIn. In this privacy policy we want to inform you what data this is, how the network uses this data and how you can manage or prevent data retention.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is LinkedIn?<\/h3>\n<p>LinkedIn is the largest social network for business contacts. In contrast to e.g. Facebook, LinkedIn focuses exclusively on establishing business connections. Therefore, companies can present services and products on the platform and establish business relationships. Many people also use LinkedIn to find a job or to find suitable employees for their own company. In Germany alone, the network has over 11 million members. In Austria there are about 1.3 million.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use LinkedIn on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>We know how busy you are. You just cannot keep up with following every single social media channel. Even if it would really be worth it, as it is with our channels, since we keep posting interesting news and articles worth spreading. Therefore, on our website we have created the opportunity to share interesting content directly on LinkedIn, or to refer directly to our LinkedIn page. We consider built-in social plugins as an extended service on our website. The data LinkedIn collects also help us to display potential advertising measures only to people who are interested in our offer.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data are stored by LinkedIn?<\/h3>\n<p>LinkedIn stores no personal data due to the mere integration of social plugins. LinkedIn calls the data generated by plugins passive impressions. However, if you click on a social plugin to e.g. share our content, the platform stores personal data as so-called \u201cactive impressions\u201d. This happens regardless of whether you have a LinkedIn account or not. If you are logged in, the collected data will be assigned to your account.<\/p>\n<p>When you interact with our plugins, your browser establishes a direct connection to LinkedIn\u2019s servers. Through that, the company logs various usage data. These may include your IP address, login data, device information or information about your internet or cellular provider. If you use LinkedIn services via your smartphone, your location may also be identified (after you have given permission). Moreover, LinkedIn can share these data with third-party advertisers in \u201chashed\u201d form. Hashing means that a data set is transformed into a character string. This allows data to be encrypted, which prevents persons from getting identified.<\/p>\n<p>Most data on of your user behaviour is stored in cookies. These are small text files that usually get placed in your browser. Furthermore, LinkedIn can also use web beacons, pixel tags, display tags and other device recognitions.<\/p>\n<p>Various tests also show which cookies are set when a user interacts with a social plug-in. We do not claim for the information we found to be exhaustive, as it only serves as an example. The following cookies were set without being logged in to LinkedIn:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name:<\/strong> bcookie<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value:<\/strong> =2&amp;34aab2aa-2ae1-4d2a-8baf-c2e2d7235c16111714495-<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Purpose:\u00a0<\/strong>This cookie is a so-called \u201cbrowser ID cookie\u201d and stores your identification number (ID).<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Expiry date:<\/strong> after 2 years<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name:<\/strong> lang<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value:<\/strong> v=2&amp;lang=en-gb<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Purpose:<\/strong>This cookie saves your default or preferred language.<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Expiry date:<\/strong> after end of session<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name:<\/strong> lidc<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value:<\/strong> 1818367:t=1571904767:s=AQF6KNnJ0G111714495\u2026<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Purpose:<\/strong>This cookie is used for routing.

However, LinkedIn deletes your personal data when you delete your account. In some exceptional cases, LinkedIn keeps some summarised and anonymised data, even account deletions. As soon as you delete your account, it may take up to a day until other people can no longer see your data. LinkedIn generally deletes the data within 30 days. However, LinkedIn retains data if it is necessary for legal reasons. Also, data that can no longer be assigned to any person remains stored even after the account is closed. The data are stored on various servers in America and presumably also in Europe.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I delete my data or prevent data retention?<\/h3>\n<p>You have the right to access and delete your personal data at any time. In your LinkedIn account you can manage, change and delete your data. Moreover, you can request a copy of your personal data from LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<p>How to access account data in your LinkedIn profile:<\/p>\n<p>In LinkedIn, click on your profile icon and select the \u201cSettings &amp; Privacy\u201d section. Now click on \u201cPrivacy\u201d and then on the section \u201cHow LinkedIn uses your data on\u201d. Then, click \u201cChange\u201d in the row with \u201cManage your data and activity\u201d. There you can instantly view selected data on your web activity and your account history.<\/p>\n<p>In your browser you also have the option of preventing data processing by LinkedIn. As mentioned above, LinkedIn stores most data via cookies that are placed in your browser. You can manage, deactivate or delete these cookies. Depending on which browser you have, these settings work a little different.

Their functions allow you to for example share content and follow interesting content on Xing directly via our website, or to log in to Xing via our site. You can recognize the plugins by the company name or the Xing logo. If you open a website that uses a Xing plugin, data can be transmitted to, and saved as well as evaluated by the \u201cXing server\u201d. In this privacy policy we will inform you on what data this is and how you can manage or prevent data retention.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is Xing?<\/h3>\n<p>Xing is a social network with its headquarters in Hamburg. The company specializes in managing professional contacts. That means, that as opposed to other networks, Xing is primarily about professional networking. The platform is often used for job hunting or for companies to find employees. Moreover, Xing offers interesting content on various professional topics. The global counterpart of Xing is the American company LinkedIn.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Xing on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>Nowadays, there is a flood of social media channels, and we understand that your time is very precious. It is simply not possible for you to closely follow every social media channel of a company. Therefore, we want to make your life as easy as possible and enable you to share or follow interesting content on Xing directly via our website. With these so-called \u201csocial plugins\u201d we are expanding the service on our website. Additionally, the data collected by Xing help us to create targeted advertising on the platform. This means that our services are only displayed to people who are genuinely interested in them.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is saved by Xing?<\/h3>\n<p>As plugins for websites, Xing offers the share, follow and login buttons. As soon as you open a page with an integrated Xing social plugin, your browser will connect to servers in a Xing data centre. Xing claim that upon using the share button, no data that could directly relate to a person is stored. Furthermore, Xing do not save your IP address, neither do any cookies get set upon using the share button. This means that your user behaviour is not analysed.

Personal data such as your IP address, browser data, as well as the date and time of your visit to Xing may be stored. If you have a XING account and are logged in, the collected data will be assigned to your personal account and matched with the data stored in it.<\/p>\n<p>If you click on the follow or log-in button and are not yet logged in to Xing, the following cookies are set in your browser.

Therefore, we can show you interesting videos directly on our site. YouTube is a video portal, which has been a subsidiary company of Google LLC since 2006. The video portal is operated by YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page on our website that contains an embedded YouTube video, your browser automatically connects to the servers of YouTube or Google. Thereby, certain data are transferred (depending on the settings). Google is responsible for YouTube\u2019s data processing and therefore Google\u2019s data protection applies.<\/p>\n<p>In the following we will explain in more detail which data is processed, why we have integrated YouTube videos and how you can manage or clear your data.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is YouTube?<\/h3>\n<p>On YouTube, users can watch, rate, comment or upload videos for free. Over the past few years, YouTube has become one of the most important social media channels worldwide.

With the help of our embedded videos, we can provide you other helpful content in addition to our texts and images. Additionally, embedded videos make it easier for our website to be found on the Google search engine. Moreover, if we place ads via Google Ads, Google only shows these ads to people who are interested in our offers, thanks to the collected data.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is stored by YouTube?<\/h3>\n<p>As soon as you visit one of our pages with an integrated YouTube, YouTube places at least one cookie that stores your IP address and our URL. If you are logged into your YouTube account, by using cookies YouTube can usually associate your interactions on our website with your profile.

Additional data can include contact details, potential ratings, shared content via social media or YouTube videos you added to your favourites.<\/p>\n<p>If you are not logged in to a Google or YouTube account, Google stores data with a unique identifier linked to your device, browser or app. Thereby, e.g. your preferred language setting is maintained.

This video portal is operated by Vimeo LLC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. With the help of a plug-in, we can display interesting video material directly on our website. Consequently, some of your data may be transmitted to Vimeo. In this privacy policy we want to explain to you what data this is, why we use Vimeo and how you can manage your data or prevent data transmission.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is Vimeo?<\/h3>\n<p>Vimeo is a video platform that was founded in 2004 and introduced video streaming in HD quality in 2007. Since 2015 it has been possible to stream in 4k Ultra HD. The use of the portal is free of charge, but it also contains certain paid content. Compared to the market leader YouTube, Vimeo attaches great importance to valuable content in good quality. On the one hand, the portal offers a lot of artistic content such as music videos and short films. On the other hand, it also offers useful documentaries on a broad spectrum of topics.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Vimeo on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>The aim of our website is to provide you the best possible content, in the easiest and most accessible way we can. We will only be satisfied with our service, once we have reached that goal. The video service Vimeo supports us in achieving this goal. Vimeo gives us the opportunity to present high quality content to you directly on our website. Instead of us merely giving you a link to an interesting video, you can watch the video here with us. This extends our service and makes it easier for you to access interesting content. Therefore, in addition to our texts and images, we can also offer video content.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is stored on Vimeo?<\/h3>\n<p>When you open a site on our website that has a Vimeo video embedded to it, your browser will connect to Vimeo\u2019s servers, and a data transmission will take place. The data are then collected, stored and processed on Vimeo\u2019s servers. Regardless of whether you have a Vimeo account or not, Vimeo collects data about you. This includes your IP address, technical information about your browser type, your operating system or very basic device information. Furthermore, Vimeo store information on what website you use their service on and which actions (web activities) you carry out on our website. These web activities include e.g. session duration, bounce rate or which button you clicked on our site that contains a Vimeo function. Vimeo can track and store these actions using cookies and similar technologies.<\/p>\n<p>If you are logged in as a registered member of Vimeo, more data may be collected, since a bigger number of cookies may already have been set in your browser. Furthermore, your actions on our website are directly linked to your Vimeo account. To prevent this, you must log out of Vimeo while \u201csurfing\u201d our website.<\/p>\n<p>Below we will show you an array of cookies Vimeo sets when you are on a website containing an integrated Vimeo function.

However, their services are offered worldwide. For this, the company uses computer systems, databases and servers in the United States and other countries. Thus, your data may also be stored and processed on servers in America. Vimeo stores the data until the company no longer has an economical reason for keeping it. Then the data will be deleted or anonymised. Vimeo correspond to the EU-U.S. Privacy Shield Framework and are therefore allowed to collect and use information from users within the EU, and to transfer this data to the USA.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">How can I delete my data or prevent data retention?<\/h3>\n<p>You always have the option to manage cookies in your browser.

To do this, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). With reCAPTCHA we can determine whether you are a real person from flesh and bones, and not a robot or a spam software. By spam we mean any electronically undesirable information we receive involuntarily. Classic CAPTCHAS usually needed you to solve text or picture puzzles to check. But thanks to Google\u2019s reCAPTCHA you usually do have to do such puzzles. Most of the times it is enough to simply tick a box and confirm you are not a bot. With the new Invisible reCAPTCHA version you don\u2019t even have to tick a box. In this privacy policy you will find out how exactly this works, and what data is used for it.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is reCAPTCHA?<\/h3>\n<p>reCAPTCHA is a free captcha service from Google that protects websites from spam software and misuse by non-human visitors. This service is used the most when you fill out forms on the Internet. A captcha service is a type of automatic Turing-test that is designed to ensure specific actions on the Internet are done by human beings and not bots. During the classic Turing-test (named after computer scientist Alan Turing), a person differentiates between bot and human. With Captchas, a computer or software program does the same. Classic captchas function with small tasks that are easy to solve for humans but provide considerable difficulties to machines. With reCAPTCHA, you no longer must actively solve puzzles. The tool uses modern risk techniques to distinguish people from bots. The only thing you must do there, is to tick the text field \u201cI am not a robot\u201d. However, with Invisible reCAPTCHA even that is no longer necessary. reCAPTCHA, integrates a JavaScript element into the source text, after which the tool then runs in the background and analyses your user behaviour. The software calculates a so-called captcha score from your user actions. Google uses this score to calculate the likelihood of you being a human, before entering the captcha. reCAPTCHA and Captchas in general are used every time bots could manipulate or misuse certain actions (such as registrations, surveys, etc.).<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use reCAPTCHA on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>We only want to welcome people from flesh and bones on our side and want bots or spam software of all kinds to stay away. Therefore, we are doing everything we can to stay protected and to offer you the highest possible user friendliness. For this reason, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google. Thus, we can be pretty sure that we will remain a \u201cbot-free\u201d website. Using reCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google to determine whether you genuinely are human. reCAPTCHA thus ensures our website\u2019s and subsequently your security. Without reCAPTCHA it could e.g. happen that a bot would register as many email addresses as possible when registering, in order to subsequently \u201cspam\u201d forums or blogs with unwanted advertising content. With reCAPTCHA we can avoid such bot attacks.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is stored by reCAPTCHA?<\/h3>\n<p>reCAPTCHA collects personal user data to determine whether the actions on our website are made by people. Thus, IP addresses and other data Google needs for its reCAPTCHA service, may be sent to Google. Within member states of the European Economic Area, IP addresses are almost always compressed before the data makes its way to a server in the USA.<br \/>Moreover, your IP address will not be combined with any other of Google\u2019s data, unless you are logged into your Google account while using reCAPTCHA. Firstly, the reCAPTCHA algorithm checks whether Google cookies from other Google services (YouTube, Gmail, etc.) have already been placed in your browser. Then reCAPTCHA sets an additional cookie in your browser and takes a snapshot of your browser window.<\/p>\n<p>The following list of collected browser and user data is not exhaustive. Rather, it provides examples of data, which to our knowledge, is processed by Google.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"adsimple-111714495\">\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Referrer URL (the address of the page the visitor has come from)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">IP-address (z.B. 256.123.123.1)<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Information on the operating system (the software that enables the operation of your computers.

In the Invisible reCAPTCHA version, there is no need to even tick at all, as the entire recognition process runs in the background. Moreover, Google have not given details on what information and how much data they retain.<\/p>\n<p>The following cookies are used by reCAPTCHA: With the following list we are referring to Google\u2019s reCAPTCHA demo version at <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api2\/demo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api2\/demo<\/a>.<br \/>For tracking purposes, all these cookies require a unique identifier.

Google is the largest and most widely known search engine in the world and is operated by the American company Google LLC (1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). Through Google Custom Search data can be transferred from you to Google. In this privacy policy we will inform you on why we use this plug-in, which data is processed and how you can manage or prevent the transmission of your data.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What is Google Custom Search?<\/h3>\n<p>Google\u2019s Custom Search plug-in is a Google search bar that is integrated directly into our website. With it, searches take place just like on <a class=\"adsimple-111714495\" href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com?tid=111714495\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"follow noopener\">www.google.com<\/a>, but the search results focus on our content and products or a limited area.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use Google Custom Search on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>A website with much interesting content often grows so big that it is easy to lose track. Over time, lots of valuable material has accumulated also on our site. But as part of our service we want you to be able to find our content in a quick and simple manner. Therefore, we have integrated Google Custom Search, which makes finding interesting content a breeze. Moreover, the built-in Google plug-in improves our website\u2019s overall quality and makes searches easier for you.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data does Google Custom Search store?<\/h3>\n<p>The customised Google search only transfers your data to Google, if you actively use the Google search function that is integrated to our website. This means that only when you type a search term in the search bar and click on \u201cSearch\u201d or \u201cEnter\u201d, the search term is sent to Google along with your IP address, where they are stored and processed. Based on the placed cookies (such as 1P_JAR), Google may also receive data on website use. If you search for content via the built-in Google search function on our website, while you are logged into your Google account, Google can assign the collected data to your Google account. As the website operator, we have no influence on what Google do with the collected data or how Google process this data.<\/p>\n<p>The following cookies are set in your browser if you use Google Custom Search and are not logged into a Google account:<\/p>\n<p><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Name:<\/strong> 1P_JAR<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Value:<\/strong> 2020-01-27-13111714495-5<br \/><strong class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Purpose:<\/strong> This cookie collects website usage statistics and measures conversions.

This WooCommerce plugin is based on the content management system WordPress, which is a subsidiary company of Automattic Inc. (60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA). Through the implemented functions, data are stored and sent to Automattic Inc where they are processed.

It is a customisable, open source eCommerce platform that is based on WordPress. It has been integrated into our website as a WordPress plugin.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">Why do we use WooCommerce on our website?<\/h3>\n<p>We use this practical online shop system, to be able to offer you our physical or digital products or services in the best possible way on our website. The aim is to give you easy and easy access to our offer, so that you can quickly and easily navigate to the products you want. With WooCommerce we have found a good plugin that meets our requirements for an online shop.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"adsimple-111714495 fusion-responsive-typography-calculated\" data-fontsize=\"21\" data-lineheight=\"31.5px\">What data is stored by WooCommerce?<\/h3>\n<p>Information that you actively enter to a text field in our online shop can be collected and stored by WooCommerce or Automattic. Hence, if you register with us or order a product, Automattic may collect, process and save this data. In addition to email address, name or address, this can also be your credit card or billing information. Subsequently, Automattic can also use this information for their own marketing campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>There is also evidence that Automattic automatically collects information on you in so-called server log files:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"adsimple-111714495\">\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">IP-address<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Browser information<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Pre-set language settings<\/li>\n<li class=\"adsimple-111714495\">Date and time of the web access<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Moreover, WooCommerce sets cookies in your browser and uses technologies such as pixel tags (web beacons), to for example clearly identify you as a user and to be able to offer interest-based advertising.
