If you visit our site again to use our services, it will automatically detect that you have already visited us and which entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again.
On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offer for you (see clause 5). These cookies enable us to automatically detect that you have already visited our site when you return. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time.

The cookies and tracking methods used on our website originate either from us or from third-party providers. These third-party providers can record user behavior on the website. These records can be linked by the respective provider with similar information from other websites. The behavior of certain website visitors can therefore be recorded across several websites and several end devices. The respective third-party provider may also use this data for its own purposes. If you are registered with the respective third-party provider, it can link the data. With regard to this data processing, we refer to the data protection provisions of the respective provider.

We use Google Conversion Tracking to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you. This service enables Google Ads to place a cookie (see clause 4) on your computer if you have accessed our website via a Google ad.
These cookies become invalid after 30 days and are not used for the purpose of personal identification. If the user visits certain pages of the Ads customer's website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page.
Each Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be traced back to customers via the websites of Ads customers. The information retrieved via the conversion cookie is used to prepare conversion statistics for Ads customers who have decided to make use of conversion tracking. Ads customers are informed of the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and who have been redirected to a page that contains a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information with which users can be personally identified.
If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can block the use of cookies which would be required for tracking – for example via a browser setting which universally disables the automatic use of cookies. You can also disable the cookies for conversion tracking by configuring your browser so that cookies from the domain "www.googleadservices.com" are blocked. You can find Google's privacy policy on conversion tracking here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).
We also use Google Tag Manager, which can be used to manage analysis and tracking tags via an interface. This function works to the extent that a page load process is detected by the Tag Manager. Depending on the configuration, a Google Analytics tag is triggered when the website is loaded. The data from this tag is then sent back to the Google Analytics server so that a pseudonymized analysis of user behavior can be carried out. No cookies are set by Google Tag Manager and no personal data is collected. Further information on terms of use and data protection can be found at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and http://www.google.com/intl/de/analytics/privacyoverview.html.
