On our website, we use the analysis software Google Analytics for analysing our users' surfing behaviour. The software places a cookie on the user's computer.
Cookies are text files that are stored in the internet browser or on the user's computer system by the internet browser. When a user visits a website, a cookie is stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string, enabling the unique identification of the browser when you revisit the website.
If individual pages of our website are visited, the following data is stored:
(1) The first two bytes of the IP address of the user's system used for the visit
(2) The webpage visited
(3) The website via which the user accessed the webpage (referrer)
(4) The subpages visited via the visited webpage
(5) The duration of visit to the website
(6) The frequency with which the webpage is visited
In this respect, the software runs on the servers of the service provider, Google Analytics. The software is set up such that the IP addresses will not be stored completely; rather the last two bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, the assignment of the truncated IP address to the accessing computer is no longer possible.
The legal basis for the processing of the personal data of users is Section 6(1f) GPDR.
The processing of users' personal data allows to analyse our users' surfing behaviour.
By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continually improve our website and its user friendliness. Our legitimate interest in processing data also lies within these purposes, pursuant to Section 6(1f) GDPR. By anonymising the IP address, sufficient account is taken of the users' interest in protecting their personal data.
Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site. Therefore, you as a user have full control over the use of cookies:

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you are entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the person responsible:
You can request confirmation from the person responsible as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.
If such processing is carried out, you can request information from the data controller on the following:
(1) the purposes for which the personal data is being processed;
(2) the categories of personal data which are being processed;
(3) the recipients and/or categories of recipients to whom the personal data has been or will be disclosed;

(5) the existence of a right to correction or deletion of personal data concerning you, of the right to limitation of processing by the data controller or of the right to object to this processing;
(6) the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
(7) all available information concerning the source of the data, if the personal data is not collected from the person concerned;
(8) the existence of an automated decision-making system including profiling according to Section 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and – at least in these cases – significant information as to the logic involved and the scope and desired impact of such processing for the person concerned.
You have the right to request information as to whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer.
You have the right to ask the data controller to correct and/or complete any personal data processed concerning you if it is incorrect or incomplete. We will make the rectification without delay.
You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:
(1) if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time which enables the person responsible to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
(2) the processing is unlawful and you object to the deletion of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
(3) the responsible person no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need it in order to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
(4) if you have lodged an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate reasons given by us as the responsible party outweigh your reasons.
If the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data may be processed, with the exception of storage, only with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the restriction on processing has been limited in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
a) Obligation of deletion
You may request the responsible person to delete personal data concerning you without delay and the controller is obliged to delete such data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:
(1) the personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based according to Art. 6 Sect. 1 letter a or Art. 9 Sect. 2 letter a of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
(3) You object to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 Sect. 1 of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or you object to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 Sect. 2 of the GDPR.
(4) The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
(5) The deletion of personal data concerning you is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union or national law to which the controller is subject.
(6) The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to the information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 Sect. 1 of the GDPR.
b) Information to third party
If the responsible person has made public the personal data concerning you and is obliged to delete them according to Art. 17 Sect. 1 of the GDPR, it shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as a data subject, have requested them to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right of cancellation does not apply if the processing is necessary
(1) on the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2) in order to comply with a legal obligation under Union or national law to which the controller is subject or in order to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If you have asserted the right to rectify, erase or limit the processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or limitation of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed of these recipients by the data controller.
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the data controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to have this data communicated to another person in charge without interference from the person in charge to whom the personal data has been communicated, provided that
(1) the processing is based on a consent according to Art. 6 Sect. 1 letter a of the GDPR or Art. 9 Sect. 2 letter a of the GDPR or on a contract according to Art. 6 Sect. 1 letter b of the GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out using automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one responsible person to another responsible person, as far as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you, which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6, Sect. 1, letter e or f of the GDPR.
The responsible person will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he/she can demonstrate compelling reasons for processing which are justified on grounds of protection and which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that has taken place on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you are resident, your place of work or the place of the suspected infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you is in breach of the GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy according to Art. 78 of the GDPR.
Your competent supervisory authority is that of your place of residence:
