As temporary cookies, or „Session cookies“ or „transient cookies“, cookies are called, which are deleted after a user leaves an online offer and closes his browser. In such a cookie, for example, the contents of a shopping cart can be stored in an online shop or a login status. „Permanent“ or „persistent“ are cookies that remain stored even after the browser is closed. For example, the login status can be saved if the users visit them after several days. Similarly, in such a cookie, the interests of users who are used for range measurement or marketing purposes can be stored. „Third-party-cookie“ means cookies that are offered by other providers than the person in charge of the online offer (otherwise, if it is only their cookies, it is called „first-party Cookies“).
We may use temporary and permanent cookies and clarify this in the context of our privacy policy.
If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they will be asked to disable the corresponding option in their browser’s system preferences. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional limitations of this online offer.

If the data is not deleted because it is necessary for other and legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. i.e. the data is locked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be kept for commercial or tax reasons.
Changes and updates to the privacy policy
We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our privacy policy. We will adjust the privacy policy as soon as the changes to the data processing we have made require this.

In this case, we may be sued for the comment or post and are therefore interested in the identity of the author.
Furthermore, we reserve the right, in accordance with our legitimate interests. Art. 6 para. (1) lit. f. GDPR to process the information of users for the purpose of spam detection.

Google AdWords and Conversion measurement
We use the services of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, („Google“).
Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee to comply with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).
We may use the Google AdWords Online marketing process to place ads on the Google advertising network (e.g., in search results, in videos, on Web pages, etc.) so that they are displayed to users who have a suspected interest in the ads. This allows us to selectively display ads for and within our online offering to show users only ads that potentially correspond to their interests. For example, if a user is shown ads for products for which he or she is interested in other online offers, this is referred to as „remarketing“. For these purposes, when we call up our and other websites where the Google advertising network is active, Google will execute a code directly from Google, and so-called (re) marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as „Web beacons“) on the website. With their help, the user is provided with an individual cookie on their device, that means a small file is saved (instead of cookies, comparable technologies can be used). This file is used to identify which web pages the user is interested in, for which content he or she has clicked and what offers the user has selected, as well as technical information about the browser and operating system, referring Web pages, visiting time and other Information on the use of the online offer.
We also receive an individual „conversion cookie“. The information obtained using the cookie is used by Google to create conversion statistics for us. However, we will only see the total number of anonymous users who clicked on our ad and were redirected to a conversion tracking tag page. We do not receive any information that allows users to identify themselves personally.
The user’s data is processed under the Google advertising network pseudonym. i.e. Google does not store and process the name or e-mail address of the users, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. That means that in Google’s perspective, the ads are not managed and displayed to a specifically identified person, but to the cookie owner, regardless of who that cookie owner is. This does not apply if a user has explicitly allowed Google to process the data without this pseudonymization. The information collected through the users is sent to Google and stored in the United States on Google’s servers.
For more information on Google’s use of data, settings and objection, see Google’s Privacy Statement (https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads) and the settings for the presentation of Advertising by Google (https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated).
Jetpack (WordPress Stats)
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our online offer in the sense of art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR), we use the Jetpack plugin (here the subfunction „WordPress stats“), which is a tool for Statistical evaluation of visitor Access and by Autolanguic Inc., 60 29th Street #343, San Francisco, CA 94110, USA. Jetpack uses so-called „cookies“, text files which are stored on your computer and which allow an analysis of the use of the website by you.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this online offer is stored on a server in the USA. This allows users to create user profiles from the processed data, which are only used for analysis and not for advertising purposes. For more information, please see the privacy Statement of Autolanguic: https://automattic.com/privacy/ and notes about jetpack cookies: https://jetpack.com/support/cookies/.
Online presence in social media
We maintain online presence within social networks and platforms in order to communicate with customers, prospects and users active there and to inform them about our services.
We point out that data of the users outside the area of the European Union can be processed. This may result in risks for the users because e.g. enforcement of user rights could be made more difficult. With respect to US providers certified under the Privacy Shield, we point out that they are committed to respecting EU privacy standards.
Furthermore, the data of the users are usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. Thus, e.g. user profiles are created from the user behavior and the resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used to e.g. Place advertisements inside and outside the platforms that are allegedly in line with users‘ interests. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on the computers of the users, in which the user behavior and the interests of the users are stored. Furthermore, in the usage profiles, data can also be stored independently of the devices used by the users (in particular if the users are members of the respective platforms and logged in to them).
The processing of personal data of users is based on our legitimate interests in an effective information of users and communication with users in accordance with. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. If the users are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for a consent to the above-described data processing, the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR.
For a detailed description of the respective processing and the possibilities of contradiction (opt-out), we refer to the following linked information of the provider.
Also in the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, we point out that these can be claimed most effectively from the providers. Only the providers have access to the data of the users and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information. If you still need help, then you can contact us.
