Cookies and local storage

We use cookies on our website to make our internet presence more user-friendly and functional. Some cookies remain stored on your end device.

These are small text files that are sent from our web server to your browser and stored on your computer's hard drive. No personal data is stored, only an individual pseudonym. This information is used, for example, to recognise you when you navigate our website and to make navigation easier for you.

Cookies are divided into the following categories depending on their purpose and function:

Technically necessary cookies to ensure the technical operation and basic functions of our website. This type of cookie is used, for example, to maintain your settings while you navigate the website; or they can ensure that important information is retained throughout the session (e.g. login, shopping basket),
Statistics cookies to understand how users interact with our website by collecting and analysing information anonymously only. This provides us with valuable insights to optimise both the website and our products and services,
Marketing cookies to set targeted advertising activities for users on our website.

The legal basis for the use of technically necessary cookies is based on our legitimate interest in the technically flawless operation and smooth functionality of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In addition, the legitimate interests consist of permanently analysing and improving the website, optimising user-friendliness and detecting and preventing misuse. It is not necessary to obtain consent for these cookies in accordance with Section 25 (2) No. 2 TDDDG, as the use of these cookies is necessary to provide important functions of the website.

The use of statistics and marketing cookies is based on the consent previously obtained from you in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or § 25 para. 1 TDDDG. You can revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. Consent is voluntary. If it is not given, there are no disadvantages.

Alternatively, you can also view this website without cookies. You can pre-set this in your browser. Please note that some functions of the website may then no longer be available in full or in part.

Further information about the cookies we actually use (in particular about their purpose and storage duration) can be found in this privacy policy and in the information about the cookies we use in our Cookie Consent Manager.

We also use so-called local storage functions (also known as ‘local storage’) on our website. This involves storing data locally in your browser's cache, which continues to exist and can be read even after you close the browser - unless you delete the cache or it is session storage.

Third parties cannot access the data stored in the local storage.

If you do not want data to be stored in the local storage, you can control this in the settings of your respective browser. We would like to point out that this may result in functional restrictions.

Subscription to the newsletter

If you have subscribed to our newsletter, we will use your e-mail address and the voluntary personal details you provide to send you our newsletter on a regular basis. To receive our newsletter, it is sufficient to provide your e-mail address.

At the end of each newsletter there is a link that you can use to edit your subscription details or unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time. You can also cancel your subscription by sending us a corresponding message using the contact details provided in the legal notice. If you subscribe to the newsletter with an email address that is not already registered to receive our newsletter, an email will be sent to confirm the subscription using the double opt-in procedure. The subscription is only activated after confirmation of the subscription by clicking on a link in this confirmation e-mail. This procedure is used for legal reasons to ensure that the owner of the email address has authorised the subscription as the data subject.

When subscribing to the newsletter, we save the date of registration. This is necessary for verification purposes in the event of possible misuse of the email address used for registration.

The processing of your personal data in connection with the subscription to our newsletter is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent of the data subject).

The data relating to your newsletter subscription will be deleted after you withdraw your consent to receive the newsletter.

Tracking of the newsletter

The newsletters are individualised so that we can recognise whether a newsletter has been opened by a recipient and whether one of the articles contained in the newsletter has been accessed. The personal data collected in this way is stored and evaluated in order to optimise our offer and to be able to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of subscribers.

Tracking of newsletter subscribers with regard to opening emails and clicking on articles is carried out on the basis of the following legal provisions:

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR / § 25 para. 1 TDDDG (consent)

For existing subscriptions, the newsletter tracking data is automatically deleted after 6 months if newsletter tracking takes place.

Further processing activities

Matomo traffic analysis

This website uses the open source software Matomo for the statistical analysis of visitor access.

The data collected by Matomo is used exclusively in anonymised form to improve our website. For this purpose, your IP address is truncated and stored without the last octet. We therefore know from which network an enquiry comes, but not from which computer.

For the traffic analysis it is necessary that a so-called ‘cookie’ is stored on your computer. The information generated by the cookie about your use of our services is not passed on to third parties and is processed exclusively for the above-mentioned purposes. The tool is used on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and, if applicable, on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, provided that information is stored in the end user's terminal equipment or access to information already stored in the terminal equipment takes place. You can revoke your consent to data processing by the Matomo analysis tool by proceeding as follows:

If your browser supports ‘Do-Not-Track’ technology and you have activated it, your visit will be automatically ignored. Otherwise, you can object to the storage, processing and use of your data at any time by activating the cancellation option below. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie will be created in your browser, which means that Matomo will not collect any data. The opt-out cookie is used on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, which lies in the necessity of the technical implementation of the objection option. Please note: If you delete this opt-out cookie, the system will no longer be able to recognise your objection and you will have to reactivate it.

Hotjar

SalesViewer

This website uses the ‘SalesViewer’ service. The provider is SalesViewer® GmbH, Huestrasse 30, 44787 Bochum, Germany (website: www.salesviewer.com).

As part of the ‘SalesViewer’ service, a javascript-based tracking code is used on our website, with the help of which the following information (hereinafter company data) is determined:

Name, origin and industry of the visiting company
Source/referrer of the visiting company
keyword
Visitor behaviour (e.g. (sub)pages visited, time of visit, duration of visit).

For this purpose, a javascript-based code is used to collect company-related data and the corresponding usage. The data collected using this technology is encrypted using a non-reversible one-way function (known as hashing). The data is immediately pseudonymised and is not used to personally identify the visitor to this website.

The data stored as part of ‘SalesViewer’ is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

You can object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future by clicking on the following link to prevent the collection by ‘SalesViewer’ within this website in the future: www.salesviewer.com/de/opt-out/. An opt-out cookie for this website will be stored on your device. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you must click this link again.

We use the SalesViewer technology described above on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR and process the above-mentioned data for marketing, market research and optimisation purposes.

We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider of the SalesViewer technology.

Use of Google Maps

We use the map service ‘Google Maps’ from Google Ireland Limited on our website. The business address of Google Ireland Limited: Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (Google). The parent company of Google Ireland Limited is Google LLC (registered office: 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

The service is used by embedding an element to display the map on our website by integrating an external map display.

By using this technology, personal data is transmitted to the service provider as described below.

When you view Google's maps, Google processes your personal data (e.g. your IP address, location data from your device, sensor data from your device, Wi-Fi access points, etc.) in accordance with its own privacy policy, which you can access at the following link: policies.google.com/privacy. As part of the integration of the maps, the service provider Google uses cookies.

Google may also collect such data from visitors to this website who have consented to the use of Google Maps and who are not logged in or registered with Google. Google generally uses and processes the data of users of the service for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created from the usage behaviour and the resulting interests of the users. The usage profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place adverts inside and outside Google that correspond to the presumed interests of the users. For these purposes, cookies are generally stored on the user's computer, in which the user's usage behaviour and interests are stored.

Cookies are small text files that are sent to your browser and stored on the data carrier of your device. These cookies enable the service provider Google to match your user data (e.g. URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties (user agent) and timestamp) with the data of your Google account, if applicable.

Furthermore, data can also be stored in the user profiles independently of the devices used by the users (especially if the users have a Google account and are logged in to the Google page).

The data collected by Google is anonymous to us as users of the service and cannot be viewed. This data is only used by Google for the purposes described in Google's privacy policy, e.g. to display adverts. Insofar as Google provides us as service users with statistics, these statistics do not allow any conclusions to be drawn about individual users. Information on personal data can therefore only be requested directly from Google. For our part, we can only view the public information of the users which has been defined by the respective Google user in the private account settings. Registered users also have the option of adjusting settings relating to the use of Google Maps.

If you are a registered Google user and have logged in to the Google site, your data will be automatically assigned to your user account by Google when you visit our site, provided you have consented to the use of Google Maps.

Further information on the possible account settings with regard to the Google Maps service can be found at the following link: myactivity.google.com=https://myactivity.google.com/product/maps?hl%253Dde%2526utm_source%253Dmaps

In particular, if you do not have a Google account, you can also prevent the setting of cookies by configuring your browser accordingly so that all cookies are rejected. In this case, however, the functionalities on this and other websites may be restricted.

Insofar as cookies are used by Google in the context of the use of Google Maps, these are described by Google in a detailed table, which you can call up under the following link:

policies.google.com/technologies/types

The maps from Google are integrated on our website in such a way that no personal data is transferred to the service provider Google if you have not given your consent to the use of this service.

The processing of your personal data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a in conjunction with. Art. 7 GDPR and, if applicable, on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as information is stored in the end user's terminal equipment or information that is already stored in the terminal equipment is accessed.

Insofar as the collected data relating to user activities is transferred to the USA by the service provider Google, the transfer takes place on the basis of the currently applicable adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR, which is also known as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

In principle, Google Ireland Limited or its parent company Google Ireland Limited is solely responsible for the processing of personal data in connection with Google Maps. Further information on the processing of personal data by Google can be found at policies.google.com/privacy;

If you use the map service and have our maps displayed, Google processes personal data in order to provide us with anonymised analyses. We do not receive any personal data from you, but only have access to the aggregated content. Even if we have no influence on the type and scope of the processing of your personal data by Google, this processing of personal data takes place within the framework of joint responsibility in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. For more information on the joint controllership agreement concluded with Google, see

business.safety.google/intl/de/controllerterms/ and at business.safety.google/intl/de/services/.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, it should be noted that these can be asserted most effectively directly against Google, as only Google has access to the user's data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly.

The service provider Google uses the Google Fonts service as part of the provision of the Google Maps service. This is done for the standardised presentation and better legibility of the content of Google Maps. For this purpose, the IP address and any other data required by Google for the Google Fonts service is sent to Google. However, your IP address will be shortened by Google beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.

Social media presences

Our social media presences

On the social networks listed below, we provide you with opportunities to find out about us and our offers and to contact us via so-called fan pages (e.g. on Facebook, Instagram) or accounts or channels.

Below you will find information about which of your data we or the respective social network or social media service process in connection with your access and use of the respective website.

Which of your data do we process?

If you contact us via the respective social network, we regularly process your user name, which you use to contact us, and may store other data provided by you if this is necessary to process/answer your enquiry.

The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR (safeguarding our legitimate interests).

Information on the ‘Like’ function,
information on page activities and post interactions, reach,
Information on video views,
information on the proportion of men and women among visitors to our social media presence.

However, these statistics are limited to aggregated and non-personal data, so that you would not be identifiable to us based on the data contained in the statistics.

What data of yours do the social networks or platform operators process?

In order to view our social media presence, you do not need to be a member of the respective social network. It is also not necessary to have a user account for the respective social network.

In addition to the data of (logged-in) members of the respective network, the platform operators also collect and process data from visitors to the respective social media website who do not have a user account and are not logged in. This may include, for example, technical data in order to be able to display the website to you. In addition, cookies and similar technologies may also be used by the platform operators, over which we have no influence.

Details regarding your personal data processed by the respective social media platform can be found in the privacy policy of the respective social network. The corresponding links to the data protection provisions of the individual platform operators can be found in this data protection information, depending on the provider, insofar as provider-specific statements are made by us below.

If you wish to use the functions offered on the respective social media presence (e.g. comment function, sharing content, like function, messenger function, etc.), this is only possible if you have registered with the respective social network and provided your personal data.

We have no influence on the data processing by the social networks in the context of their use by you.

According to our information, your data is processed by the social networks in particular to analyse user behaviour using cookies and similar technologies in order to present you with advertising based on your interests both within and outside the respective social network on the basis of these analyses. In this context, it cannot be ruled out that your data will also be stored by the social networks outside the EU/EEA and passed on to third parties (e.g. foreign authorities and other public bodies).

Information on the exact scope and purposes of the processing of your personal data, the storage period and deletion as well as guidelines on the use of cookies and similar technologies in the context of registration and use of the social networks can be found in the data protection notices and cookie policies of the social networks. Among other things, you will find information on your rights and cancellation and objection options.

Our presence on Vimeo

The following link will take you to our Vimeo page, for which we are jointly responsible with the service provider (Vimeo) for certain functions (see below) in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR:

vimeo.com/user138309095

The internet video portal Vimeo is provided by a US company, Vimeo.com, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as ‘Vimeo’).

The business address of Vimeo.com, Inc. is 330 West 34th Street, 10th Floor, New York, New York 10001, USA. See the legal notice of Vimeo.com, Inc. at:

vimeo.com/leo/guidelines/impressum

Our company profile on Vimeo can be used directly via the Vimeo platform or by clicking on one of the direct links on our website. When you click on the link, you will be redirected to our company profile on Vimeo. No personal data is transmitted to Vimeo during the forwarding process, as no Vimeo plug-ins are used on our site that tell the operator which of our pages you have visited.

When you access our company profile on Vimeo, Vimeo processes your personal data (e.g. your IP address, browser type, operating system, other device information, etc.) in accordance with its own privacy policy, which you can access via the following link:

Service Provider Privacy Notice:

vimeo.com/privacy.

In principle, Vimeo, Inc. is solely responsible for the processing of personal data on our Vimeo company website. Further information on the processing of personal data by Vimeo, Inc. can be found in the service provider's data protection notice above.

When you visit our Vimeo company website, Vimeo processes personal data in order to provide us with anonymised evaluations. We do not receive any personal data from you, but only have access to the aggregated content. Even if we have no influence on the type and scope of the processing of your personal data by Vimeo, this processing of personal data takes place within the framework of joint responsibility in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. The processing serves the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to obtain information about the actions on our Vimeo company page.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, please note that these can be most effectively asserted directly against Vimeo, as only the service provider has access to the user's data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly.

Insofar as we collect your personal data via our Vimeo page (e.g. your name, your nickname, the content of messages sent to us, comment content and the profile information you provide ‘publicly’), we only do so in order to communicate and interact with you.

Your personal data is generally processed by us for the purpose of communication and interaction on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the fact that we pursue our business objectives through our information and communication offers on the Vimeo page.

Insofar as we carry out processing operations in connection with the operation of our Vimeo page for which your consent is required (e.g. participation in a competition, prize draw, sending a newsletter, etc.), we will obtain this separately in each case. In this case, your personal data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a in conjunction with. Art. 7 GDPR and, if applicable, on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TDDDG.

Insofar as the social network Vimeo collects your data for its own purposes for which consent is required (e.g. evaluation of user behaviour), this is also done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR and, if applicable, on the basis of Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG. Art. 7 GDPR and, if applicable, on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. In this case, the required consent is obtained by the social network itself.

Due to the joint responsibility of Vimeo and us for the processing of personal data on our Vimeo presence, you can assert your rights as a data subject both with us and directly with Vimeo.

Insofar as the data collected regarding user activities is transmitted to the USA by the service provider Google, the transmission takes place on the basis of the currently applicable adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR, which is also known as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

As Vimeo is responsible for most of the data processing that takes place as a service provider, our ability to access your data is very limited. Only the service provider has full access to your data in accordance with the network's terms of use. For this reason, only the provider of the social network can usually take and implement the necessary measures to fulfil your rights as a data subject (e.g. right to information, deletion, objection, etc.). The most effective way to assert such rights is therefore to contact the network provider directly.

No personal data is transmitted to YouTube during the forwarding process, as no YouTube plugins are used on our site that tell the operator which of our pages you have visited.

When you access our company profile on YouTube, YouTube processes your personal data (e.g. your IP address, location data of your device, etc.) in accordance with its own privacy policy, which you can access via the following link:

Data protection information of the service provider: policies.google.com/privacy.

YouTube LLC or its parent company Google Ireland Limited is the sole controller for the processing of personal data on our YouTube company page. Further information about the processing of personal data by YouTube LLC or Google can be found at policies.google.com/privacy;

When you visit our YouTube company page, YouTube processes personal data in order to provide us with anonymised analyses. We do not receive any personal data from you, but only have access to the aggregated content. Even if we have no influence on the type and scope of the processing of your personal data by YouTube, this processing of personal data takes place within the framework of joint responsibility in accordance with Art. 26 GDPR. The processing serves the legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR to obtain information about the activities on our YouTube company page.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of user rights, it is pointed out that these can be asserted most effectively directly against Google, because only Google has access to the user's data and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly.

Insofar as we collect your personal data via our YouTube page (e.g. your name, your nickname, content of messages sent to us, comment content and the profile information you provide ‘publicly’) only in order to communicate and interact with you.

Insofar as we carry out processing operations in connection with the operation of our YouTube page for which your consent is required (e.g. participation in a competition, prize draw, sending a newsletter, etc.), we will obtain this separately in each case. In this case, your personal data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a in conjunction with. Art. 7 GDPR and, if applicable, on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG, provided that information is stored in the end user's terminal equipment or access to information that is already stored in the terminal equipment takes place.

Insofar as the social network YouTube collects your data for its own purposes for which consent is required (e.g. evaluation of user behaviour), this is also done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR and, if applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Art. 7 GDPR and, if applicable, on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG, if information is stored in the end user's terminal equipment or information that is already stored in the terminal equipment is accessed. In this case, the required consent is obtained by the social network itself.

Due to the joint responsibility of YouTube and us for the processing of personal data on our YouTube presence, you can assert your rights as a data subject both with us and directly with YouTube.

As YouTube is responsible for the majority of the data processing that takes place as a service provider, our options for accessing your data are very limited. Only the service provider has full access to your data in accordance with the network's terms of use. For this reason, only the provider of the social network can usually take and implement the necessary measures to fulfil your rights as a data subject (e.g. right to information, deletion, objection, etc.). The most effective way to assert such rights is therefore to contact the network provider directly.

Insofar as the data collected regarding user activities is transferred to the USA by the service provider Google, the transfer takes place on the basis of the currently applicable adequacy decision of the European Commission pursuant to Art. 45 para. 3 GDPR, which is also known as the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (EU-U.S. DPF).

The LinkedIn Insight Tag tool is used to analyse and measure the success of advertising placed on the online platform of the LinkedIn social network.

Where we advertise our products and services on LinkedIn, we only want to show them to people who are actually interested in our products and services. The LinkedIn Insight Tag tool allows us to better tailor our advertising measures to the wishes and interests of potential customers. LinkedIn users who have consented to the display of personalised advertising are presented with suitable advertising. In addition, LinkedIn uses the data collected when using the LinkedIn Insight Tag for its own analysis purposes and to display its own adverts.

In order to display our adverts only to interested persons, as explained above, we have implemented the code that ensures the function of the LinkedIn Insight Tag tool on our website that you visit.

When you perform an action on our site, e.g. click on content that interests you, the LinkedIn Insight Tag is activated and saves your actions on our website in one or more cookies. Cookies are small text files that are sent to your browser and stored on your device's storage medium. These cookies enable LinkedIn to match your user data (e.g. URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties (user agent) and timestamp) with the data of your LinkedIn account, if applicable.

The data collected by LinkedIn is anonymous and cannot be viewed by us as users of LinkedIn Insight Tag. This data is only used by LinkedIn in the context of displaying adverts. As part of the data processing that takes place, it does not matter whether you have a LinkedIn user account and are logged in to LinkedIn as a user in your browser, or whether you do not have a LinkedIn user account.

If you have a LinkedIn user account and are logged in, your data will be automatically assigned to your user account by LinkedIn when you visit our site.

Your ad settings can be adjusted by LinkedIn members and non-members at the following link:
