Data protection
The operators of these sites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially, in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy statement.
Our website can normally be used without entering personal information. If personal information (e.g., name, address or e-mail address) is collected on our sites, this is always done voluntarily if possible. This data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent.
Please be aware that data transfer via the internet (e.g., through communication with e-mail) can involve security risks. Absolute security against third-party access is impossible.
Personal Data
Personal details are information which can be used in order to find out your identity. This includes information such as your real name, address, postal address, telephone number. Information that is not directly linked to the actual identity (such as favorite websites or number of users of a website) is not classed as personal data. You can always use our website without disclosing your identity. Through your usage of our website, data will be saved on our server (for example IP-address, date, time and pages visited). No evaluation takes place with reference to persons. We reserve the right to evaluate anonymous data for statistical purposes. We use the personal data for purposes of the technical administration of the web pages and for customer administration only to the necessary extent. Beyond that, additional personal data is only stored, if it is given voluntarily.

Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking
Our website uses Google AdWords. Provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States.
AdWords is an online advertising program. As part of the online advertising program, we work with conversion tracking. After a click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie is set for conversion tracking. Cookies are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Google AdWords cookies expire after 30 days and are not used to personally identify users. The cookie enables Google and we to recognize that you clicked on an ad and were redirected to our website.
Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies are not trackable through AdWords customer websites. Conversion cookies are used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who use conversion tracking. Adwords customers can see how many users clicked on their ad and were redirected to pages with a conversion tracking tag. However, AdWords customers do not receive any information that enables personal identification of users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can object to its use. Here, the conversion cookie must be deactivated in the user settings of the browser. Thus no inclusion in the conversion tracking statistics takes place.
Conversion cookies“ are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We as website operators have a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise our website and our advertising.
Details on Google AdWords and Google Conversion Tracking can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/.
