– Transient cookies (see b)
– Persistent cookies (see c).

b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, the session cookies.

This will allow your computer to be re-recognised when you return to our website. The session cookies are cleared when you log out or close the browser.

f) The Flash cookies used are not registered by your browser but by your Flash plug-in. We also use HTML5 storage objects placed on your terminal. These objects store the required data independently of your browser used and have no automatic expiry date. If you do not want to process the Flash cookies, you will need to install a suitable add-on, e.g. “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/) or the Adobe Flash killer cookie for Google Chrome.

(4) Use of Google Analytics
(1) This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so- called “Cookies”, text files stored on your computer that allow an analysis of your use of the website. The cookie-generated information about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on a Google server in the United States. However, in the event that IP anonymisation is activated on this website, your IP address will be pre-shortened by Google within the Member States of the European Union or in other Contracting States to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. In the order of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on the website activities and to further provide website service and internet related services to the website operator.

(4) This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp ()”. As a result, IP addresses are shortened, so that direct reference to persons can be excluded.

Social media

Use of social media plug-ins
(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: [Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Google+, LinkedIn, Instagram, Pinterest]. We use the so-called two-click solution. In other words, when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. The provider of the plug-in can be identified by the marking on the box above its initial letter or logo. We give you the opportunity to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked field and activate it, the plug-in provider receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online service. In addition, the data mentioned under § 3 of this declaration will be transmitted. In the case of Facebook and Xing, according to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection. By activating the plug-in, personal data will be transmitted by you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (with US providers in the USA). Since the plug-in provider carries out the data collection, in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies before clicking on the greyed-out box via the security settings of your browser.

(2) We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection, the purpose of the processing, the storage periods. We also have no information to delete the data collected by the plug-in provider.

(3) The plug-in provider saves the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses these for purposes of advertising, market research and / or tailor-made website design. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for non-logged-in users) for the presentation of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the formation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise it. Through the plug-ins we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f DS-GMO.

(4) The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged into the plug-in provider, your data collected from us will be assigned directly to your existing account with the plug-in provider. If you press the activated button and for example, if you link the page, the plug-in provider also stores this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend logging out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this will prevent you from being assigned to your profile with the plug-in provider.

(5) For more information on the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the privacy statements of these providers, which are provided below. There you will also find further information about your rights and settings options for the protection of your privacy.
