Website Analytics, Cookies and Tracking Technologies

When using our website (including newsletter and other digital offers), information is generated which is stored in logs (especially technical data). In addition, we may use cookies and similar technologies (e.g. pixel tags or fingerprints) to recognise website visitors, evaluate their behaviour and identify preferences. A cookie is a small file that is transferred between the server and your system and allows recognition of a particular device or browser.

Both, the technical data we collect and any cookies, generally do not contain any Personal Data. However, Personal Data that we or third-party providers, commissioned by us, store from you (e.g. if you have a user account with us or with these providers) may be linked to the technical data or to the information stored in and obtained from cookies, and thus could potentially be associated with your person.

We also use social media plug-ins, which are small pieces of software that create a connection between your visit to our website and a third-party provider. The social media plug-in tells the third-party provider that you have visited our website and may transmit cookies to the third-party provider that they have previously placed on your web browser. For more information on how these third-party providers use your Personal Data collected via their social media plug-ins, please refer to their respective privacy policies.

In addition, on our website we use our own tools as well as third-party services (which may in turn use cookies), in particular to improve the functionality or content of our website (e.g. integration of videos or maps), to compile statistics and to target advertisements.
