7 Cookies & Reach Measurement

Cookies are pieces of information that are transmitted from our web server or third-party web servers to users’ web browsers, where they are stored for later retrieval. Cookies may be small files or other types of information storage.

Users are informed about the use of cookies in the context of pseudonymous reach measurement as part of this privacy policy.

If users do not want cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies may lead to functional limitations of this website.

9. integration of services and contents of third parties

We use content or service offers of third-party providers within our website on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation of our website within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) content or service offers from third-party providers in order to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter uniformly referred to as “content”). This always assumes that the third-party providers of this content are aware of the IP address of the user, since without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser.

The “pixel tags” can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring web pages, time of visit and other information about the use of our website, as well as be linked to such information from other sources.
