The protection of your privacy is important to us. Our employees are obligated to treat all information confidentially. In the sections below, we would like to briefly explain how we protect your data and what it means for you when you make use of our online offers, support and other contacts.

Access data
When our webpages are shown, we receive access data that is stored for protective purposes that basically allows us to identify you. This data includes:

• the name of your Internet service provider
• the country you come from
• the website you come from to visit us
• the search term you use, if you come to our site via a search engine

This information is protected by us and allows us to optimize our offerings as a whole and to personalize the content specifically for you, e.g. recognize you as a return visitor to our Internet offering. If you have an existing data set, the new data can be allocated to this data set in many cases.

Personal data
Personal data is individual pieces of information about the personal or material circumstances of a specific or specifiable natural person. It includes information such as your name and/or company name and your postal or e-mail address. The only time we save personal data in addition to your access data is if you give us this information voluntarily, e.g. as part of a registration, a contact inquiry, an application for a newsletter, a ticket purchase or to process an online order.
Moreover, personal data is used only to the extent necessary and only for the legally permissible purpose for which you gave your consent.

Cookies

General information about cookies
Cookies are small text files that are used by many websites around the world.
Cookies are created when you visit a website, and they are deposited on your hard drive by our server. Our cookies do not contain any personal data. Cookies deposited by our servers can only be read by us and not by any other website.
Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. If you do not want to use the advantages of cookies, you can deactivate this function in your browser. Please note the various settings that are possible for your browser. Naturally, you can also view our website without cookies. However, doing so may limit the functions that are available to you on our site.

Conversion tracking
Tools provided by third parties are used on this website for analysis purposes. These tools measure how effective advertisements are at addressing the user (aka “conversion tracking”).

When you click on an advertisement of one of the third-party providers listed below, a cookie for conversion tracking is deposited on your computer. If you visit a certain Internet site, the third-party provider and we can recognize that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that site. This makes it possible for us to collect data that is important for our advertising activities. Where applicable, it tells us the total number of users that clicked on an advertisement, the length of their stay, their operating system, device model, location, payment transactions made and which mobile app functions have been used. However, it does not give us any personal information regarding the user’s identity.

If you do not wish to participate in this form of conversion tracking, you can decline to have the necessary cookie placed on your system by setting your browser to generally deactivate the automatic placement of cookies. For example, you can use your Internet browser’s “do not track” (DNT) option.

We work with the following third-party providers within the scope of our conversion tracking activities:
“DoubleClick by Google” (Accuen Conversion Pixel)/Google Adwords Conversion Pixel
“DoubleClick by Google” is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”). “DoubleClick by Google” uses cookies to display advertising based on your interests. To do so, it assigns your browser a pseudonym identification number (ID) which is used to check which ads have been displayed in your browser and which ads have been accessed. The cookies do not contain any information that could be traced back to you. The use of DoubleClick cookies allows Google and its affiliate sites to display ads based on previous visits to our or other websites on the Internet. The information generated by the cookies is transmitted by Google to a server in the USA for analysis and stored there. Google does not transmit data to third parties unless required to do so by law or if third parties are processing the data on behalf of Google. Under no circumstances will Google associate your data with any other data collected by Google.

You can prevent the storage of cookies using an appropriate setting in your browser software. Please note that if you do this, some features of our websites may no longer function properly.

In addition, you can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookies about your use of the websites and the processing of that data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under “DoubleClick Opt-out Extension” at the following link.

Additional information about data protection and cookies from Google is available here.

Other tools for marketing and optimization purposes
We also use the following tools for marketing and optimization purposes:

Google Adwords Remarketing Pixel
Using the Google Inc. (“Google”) Remarketing or “Similar target groups” function allows us to direct targeted advertisements to visitors of the website by offering interest-based advertisements that have been personalized for visitors of our site when they visit other sites in the Google Display network. Google uses so-called “cookies” to analyze usage of the website, which is the basis for interest-based advertising. To do so, Google saves a small file with a numeric sequence in the browser of the website’s visitors. This number is used to record the number of visits to the website and anonymous data about the website’s use. No personal data of the website’s visitors is recorded.

If you visit another website in the Google Display network after being at our site, you will be shown advertisements that very likely take into account product and information sites that have been called up in the past. You can permanently deactivate the use of cookies by Google by clicking on the following link and then downloading and installing the plug-in that you find there: www.google.com/settings/ads/plugin/

Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies by third parties by calling up the deactivation site of the Network Advertising Initiative at www.networkadvertising.org/choices/ and following the opt-out instructions there.

Additional information about Google Remarketing and Google’s data privacy policy is available here: www.google.com/privacy/ads/

Google Tag Manager
Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows us to manage various website tags from a user interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-less domain and does not record any personal data. The tool triggers other tags that record data in some circumstances. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation was made at the domain or cookie level, it remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager.

If you do not want us to recognize your computer on subsequent visits (with cookies stored on the hard drive), you can also set up your browser to delete cookies, block all cookies, or warn you before a cookie is stored. If you do not accept cookies, you will not be able to use some of our services. In general, cookies allow us to determine who you are, and thus to offer you better and more personalized services.

Javascript, ActiveX and other website control elements and script languages that contain executing elements can be deactivated at any time for security reasons using your browser. Our web pages are still navigable without Javascript.
