         We use services on this website that use cookies and similar technologies to store data in the browser of your end device and to read previously stored data. Cookies, the local storage memory of your browser, pixels and so-called tags can be used for this purpose.

         Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read on your end device.

         A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session for a certain period of time.

         In addition to cookies, we may use the local storage memory of your browser to store and read data. We may also integrate pixels into our websites. Pixels are small individualized image files that are loaded when the page is loaded and can be used to track user activity.

         Finally, we may use tags (markers) on our websites. Tags are small HTML or Java Script code fragments or markings that enable services for website analysis or user tracking to differentiate or identify users and track certain user activities.

         Further information on the cookies and similar technologies we use can be found below in the descriptions of the categories of cookies and in our consent management platform "Usercentrics", which is displayed to you when you visit our website. You can call up "Usercentrics" again via the cookie symbol or the "Cookie settings" link at the bottom left of the website and change your settings.

         Please note that without the use of certain cookies and similar technologies, our websites may not be displayed correctly and some functions may no longer be technically available.

      2. Category Essential

         Services in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and read information on your device. We use these,
         – to enable the website to be displayed and to provide its basic functions, in particular page navigation and access to secure areas,
         – to enable the submission and withdrawal of consent,
         – to protect our forms from fraudulent entries
         – to protect our website from cyber-attacks and attempted fraud and
         – to enable the website to be displayed.

         Some of the cookies and similar technologies used only contain information on certain settings and are not personally identifiable. They are not used by us for the purpose of tracking your interactions, for measurement and statistical evaluation or for advertising purposes.

         The use of the services as well as corresponding cookies and similar technologies in this category is based on Section 25 (2) No. 1, No. 2 TTDSG. Subsequent data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

      3. Functional category (performance)

         Services in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and read information on your device. We use these,
         – to make our website appealing to you,
         – to enable the loading of content from third-party providers and
         – to provide you with certain settings and other functions of the website.

         The use of the services as well as corresponding cookies and similar technologies in this category is based on your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Subsequent data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

      4. Marketing category

         Services in this category may use cookies and similar technologies to store and read information on your device. We use these,
         – to be able to count and distinguish you as an individual website visitor and to create statistical analyses of your interactions and your use of our websites,
         – to track your interactions with advertisements placed by us via third-party providers on other websites across different end devices and websites (so-called conversion tracking),
         – to be able to track and evaluate your interactions with our website and to subsequently make them the basis for targeted advertising campaigns in advertising networks aimed at you or a specific target group to which you belong (so-called retargeting and remarketing),
         – to improve the effectiveness of our advertising measures and to manage our advertising campaigns.

         For this purpose, we and the services regularly store individual pseudonymous identifiers (recognition features) consisting of numbers and letters in cookies when you visit another website or when you visit our website on your end device and read them again when you visit this website or a new website.

         Other technologies can also be used regularly to read recognition features from your end device, e.g. in the case of so-called browser or device fingerprinting, in which data from the properties of the browser you use (e.g. type and version of the browser) and its configuration (e.g. preferred language) or from the properties of your end device (e.g. manufacturer and model of your mobile phone, operating system or hardware used by you (e.g. screen resolution) are used to identify you as a different user.(e.g. preferred language) or characteristics of your end device (e.g. manufacturer and model of your cell phone, operating system) or the hardware you use (e.g. screen resolution) are used to recognize you as a different user under a pseudonym.

         If necessary, the processed pseudonymous recognition features may also be merged with other data by us or the providers of the services used.

         For example, the services we use and their providers can also exchange and compare recognition features (ID) with each other in order to merge the features in the event of a match and assign them to the same pseudonymous user (ID matching/ID syncing). This enables cross-device, cross-platform and cross-advertising network recognition and advertising targeting of website visitors.

         If you identify yourself with your clear data such as name or e-mail address or enter your own user data on our websites or log in to social networks or online services from third-party providers who also provide us with corresponding services for tracking and advertising, pseudonymous recognition features can also be linked to your clear data or user data.

         In this way, we or the providers of the services can create and evaluate comprehensive pseudonymous or non-pseudonymous user profiles in order to subsequently use them for targeted advertising based on your interests.

         The use of the services as well as corresponding cookies and similar technologies in this category is based on your consent in accordance with Section 25 (1) TTDSG. Subsequent data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.

   In addition, the "meta pixel" enables us to track and evaluate your interests based on the websites you visit and your interactions with our websites.

   The information available via the "Meta Pixel" includes in particular
   – Information that is contained in the so-called HTTP header when a website is called up in the browser of your end device, in particular usage data such as IP address, information about the web browser used, the location of the page, the files retrieved, the referral link that indicates from which page you came to ours,
   –  Characteristics of the device you use to access our website,
   –  Cookies that may already exist in the browser of your end device and have been set by meta services, e.g. marketing cookies "_fbp" and "fr",
   –  Button click data, i.e. data about which buttons on the web pages were clicked by visitors, the labels of these buttons and all pages that were visited as a result of the button clicks, e.g. clicking on buttons in web forms for product inquiries or demonstrations, to download documents or to book appointments.

10. LinkedIn conversion tracking and retargeting (Insight tag)

    On our websites, we integrate the "LinkedIn Conversion Tracking" service of LinkedIn Corporation, 1000 W. Maude Ave, Sunnyvale, California 94085, USA.

    In the European Union (EU) and the European Economic Area (EEA), "LinkedIn Conversion Tracking" is offered as a service by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Gardner House 4,5,6, Dublin 2, Ireland.

    Description of the data processing and the purpose
    If an advertisement placed by us via LinkedIn is displayed to you on other websites or you click on it, these other websites store a "LinkedIn conversion tracking" cookie with a pseudonym assigned to us in your end device on the basis of your consent given there.

    If you subsequently visit our websites within the storage period of this cookie, this cookie and your usage data will be read by "LinkedIn Conversion Tracking" using a pixel and JavaScript code (so-called "LinkedIn Insight Tag") on our websites. The following data is processed:

    – The name and address of the requested content,
    – The date and time of the query,
    – The description of the web browser and operating system used, including details of the language used,
    – The referrer address, which indicates the websites from which you have reached our website,
    – The IP address of the requesting computer,
    – Your interactions with our websites (e.g. content and events clicked on, forms completed, frequency of response).
    – IP addresses of website visitors are shortened by LinkedIn so that a personal reference can no longer be established.

    If website visitors are also members of LinkedIn, the user ID is also processed. Members' IP addresses are not truncated but hashed to enable cross-device tracking. In addition to the user ID, demographic data such as the member's job title, company and industry are also processed.

    In this way, LinkedIn can determine that you have been shown an advertisement placed by us or that you have clicked on it and then visited our websites and, if applicable, how you have subsequently used our websites.

    The conversion of an advertisement into an action by the website visitor is referred to as a conversion. From this information, "LinkedIn Conversion Tracking" creates statistics for us, from which we can recognize how many users have reacted to our advertisements and in what way.

    Based on these statistics, we can optimize the effectiveness of our advertising and control our advertising strategy. In particular, LinkedIn enables us to use this data to create target groups for "LinkedIn Retargeting" (target group-oriented advertising) and to address them via LinkedIn advertisements.

      The legitimate interest lies in addressing visitors for advertising purposes and in providing an effective means of communication and interaction with our company on the social media platform.

   2. Data processing when contacting us

      We collect personal data ourselves if you contact us, for example, via a contact form or using a messenger function on the respective platform.

      Which data is collected depends on the information you provide and the contact details you give or release. These are stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in the event of follow-up questions.

We assume that processing has been completed when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

   3. Data processing for contract processing

      If your contact via a social network or other platform is aimed at the conclusion of a contract for the delivery of goods or the provision of services with us, we process your data for the fulfillment of the contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures or for the provision of the desired services.
