Cookies

On some of our pages we use session cookies to make your use of our web pages easier. These are small text files kept on your hard disc for the duration of your use of our web page/s and possibly deleted when you shut your browser down depending on your browser settings. They do not access any personal data on your hard disc. Most browsers are set to accept cookies automatically. You can deactivate the saving of cookies in your browser or set your browser to notify you of their presence or use.

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a Google Inc. ("Google") web analysis service. Google Analytics uses cookies, text files that are stored on your computer that permit analysis of your use of a website. As a rule, the cookie-generated data regarding your use of a website will be forwarded to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on a website, your IP address will first be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union and in other states that are contracting parties to the relevant agreement in the European Economic Area.
Only in exceptional cases is the complete IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of said website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services regarding website activity and Internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser via Google Analytics will not be merged with any other data held by Google.
You can stop these cookies being stored by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. However, we wish to point out that doing so may mean you will not be able to enjoy the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) from being sent to, and processed by, Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.

Please note that Google Analytics has been supplemented on this website by adding the “gat._anonymizeIp();“ code to guarantee anonymised recording of IP addresses (IP masking).

Matomo (previously PIWIK)

On our Internet site/s we use Matomo (formerly PIWIK). This is open source software with which we can analyse the use of our Internet site/s. We host and operate the software here in Germany. Data such as your IP address, the pages you visit, the website from which you came (referrer URL), the duration of your visit, and the frequency of your visits is processed.
Matomo stores a cookie on your device via your browser in order to collect this data. This cookie is valid for one week.
The legal basis for data processing here is article 6 paragraph 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis and optimisation of our website/s.
We use Matomo with the "Automatically Anonymise Visitor IPs" function. This anonymisation function truncates your IP address by two bytes so that it is impossible to assign it to you or to the internet connection you are using.
If you do not agree to this processing, you have the option of preventing the installation of cookies using the appropriate settings in your browser. Further details can be found in the section about cookies above.
In addition, you have the option of terminating the analysis of your usage behaviour by opting out. By confirming at this address https://analytics.reflects.de/index.php?module=CoreAdminHome&action=optOut&language=en&backgroundColor=&fontColor=&fontSize=&fontFamily a cookie is stored on your end device via your Internet browser that prevents further analysis. Please note, however, that you must click this link again if you delete the cookies stored on your end device.
