When you access this website, general nature information is automatically collected. These information are recorded in the server log file and include the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider, your IP address and the like. This is for the following reasons:
Your data will not be used to draw conclusions about you. Information of this kind will only be evaluated statistically in order to optimize our internet presence and the technology behind it.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case for the data that serve to provide the website, basically when the respective session has ended.
Posts on this website may include embedded content (e.g. videos, pictures, posts etc.). Embedded content from other websites behaves in exactly the same way as if the visitor had visited the other website. These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking services, and record your interaction with this embedded content, including your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged on to this website.
On some of our websites we embed YouTube videos. The operator of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA (hereinafter "YouTube"). When you visit a page with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. This tells YouTube which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your surfing behavior to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand. If a YouTube video is started, the provider uses cookies that collect information about user behavior.
We use social media plugins on our websites. These plugins may send information, including personal data, to the service provider and possibly used by them. We prevent the unconscious and unintended collection and transmission of data to the service provider with a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding switch. Only through this activation of the plugin is the collection of information and its transmission to the service provider triggered. We do not collect any personal data through the social plugins or their use. We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. Currently it must be assumed that a direct connection to the services of the provider is established and at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. There is also the possibility that the service providers try to store cookies on the used computer. Please refer to the respective service provider's privacy policy for specific information on what data is collected and how it is used. If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a certain page.
