Cookies
(a) General
So-called “cookies” are used on our website to manage advertising and to determine the popularity of individual subject areas. These are text files that are stored on the user’s system for the purpose of analysing the use of the products (usage behaviour, range measurement, product optimisation and delivery of advertising formats tailored to target groups). In this way, users do not have to re-register for each visit to services requiring registration and, in addition, individualised services and products can be offered to the user in this way. These text files do not contain any personal data. The use of cookies can be prevented by the corresponding browser settings. However, this may impair the functionality of the products under certain circumstances. Access to areas where registration is mandatory and the use of certain services is only possible with cookies switched on. The provider accepts no liability for the careless and/or unlawful use of data by third parties and recommends that you consult the data protection provisions of the relevant websites. For statistical purposes and to optimise the products, the provider may use the analysis services of Google Analytics or others. As a matter of principle, no personal data is collected for this purpose. Should this nevertheless be necessary, only as much data as is minimally required for the fulfilment of the order will be transmitted. You will find the relevant information on these services below.
(b) Google Analytics
We use the functions of the Google Analytics web analysis service on our website. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
Google Analytics uses cookies that are stored on the user’s computer and enable an analysis of the user’s website usage. The information generated by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The user can prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the website (including the IP address) to Google as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. If the user deletes cookies or uses a different browser, this will result in the opt-out cookies also being deleted or not being set. The opt-out must be reactivated when visiting our website again.
Third party cooperation
As a matter of principle, personal data is not passed on to third parties.
Exceptions to this exist with the consent of the users, in the case of a legal obligation and in the context of a cooperation with a partner who supports us in the provision of our services.

Further information on the “Google Analytics” services used as well as the social media plugins used can be found under the corresponding titles of this privacy policy.
If we are supported in data processing by a partner, this partner is obliged to act in compliance with the relevant legal provisions, including the applicable data protection regulations, and in accordance with this data protection declaration. In doing so, partners may neither process this personal data for their own purposes nor pass it on to third parties. We reserve the right to process and disclose information and personal data to the relevant civil and law enforcement authorities in order to comply with applicable laws, regulations, legal proceedings or criminal investigations.
Plug-ins from social media services
Plug-ins from third-party social media services such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Xing and others are integrated on our website.
