3. Cookies, analysis and tracking

We use cookies, web beacons our similar methods when you visit our websites or make use of our offerings.

Cookies are small text files that are downloaded on to your computer or mobile end device by your browser and which enable your computer or end device to be recognized, even when visiting more than one of the website’s pages. The cookies contain no personal data. Some of the cookies used by us are deleted again at the end of the browser session, i.e. when you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us or our service providers to recognize your browser when you visit us again (persistent cookies).

You can block the use of cookies by making a corresponding setting in your browser software. However, it is possible that certain areas of the website or offerings will not function correctly if the cookie function is deactivated.

Web beacons are small graphic files (“pixels”) that can be embedded in our website and which are used to monitor user behavior. Similar methods are, for example, the use of HTML5 cookies or other local (browser or device) storage methods which – comparable with cookies – enable data to be saved in your browser or end device in order to recognize your browser or your device when you visit again or during a session.

If necessary, our service providers also use cookies, in particular for web analysis purposes (see below). This takes place on the basis of your consent if you have given this via the cookie banner.

3.1 Legal basis

We use tools and cookies (Section 3.2) that are necessary for the operation of the website on the basis of your and our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, point (f) of the GDPR in enabling you to use our website and pursuant to Section 25, paragraph 2, subparagraph 2 of the TDDDG (the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act).

We use other tools, particularly for analytical purposes (Section 3.3), on the basis of your consent pursuant to Article 6, paragraph 1, point (a) of the GDPR as well as Section 25, paragraph 1 of the TDDDG, which is acquired via a consent manager (see below). You can revoke your consent at any time using the consent manager (see section 3.4 below).

In the event that other legal bases apply to individual tools or methods, this will be explicitly stated below.

3.2 Necessary tools and cookies

For consent management purposes we use a consent management tool (CMT) with which the cookie banner is also displayed. This technology is provided by Usercentrics A/S, Havnegade 39, 1058 Copenhagen, Denmark (hereinafter referred to as “Cookiebot”).

When you access our website, a cookie is set that enables the consents given for the individual services to be saved and the corresponding activations and deactivations of the respective functions to be controlled.

The consent manager is used to obtain the necessary consents and to document these in accordance with our obligation to provide proof that they have been given. The legal basis for this is Article 6, paragraph 1, point (c) of the GDPR. The data collected is saved until such time that you delete the cookie.

In addition, we use cookies for the management of display settings (e.g. font, blog/image sliders, color schemes and other website settings).

3.3 Analysis tools

We use the open-source web analytics service Matomo to enable us to analyze the use of the app and to regularly improve it. With the statistics that we obtain, we can improve our offering and make it more relevant for you as the user.

Using the technology from Matomo, only anonymized data are saved and used (in particular, abbreviated IP addresses, data and time of the page view, time spent on the page, or the page from which you have accessed our website; as well as the data mentioned in Section 1). Using this data, we want to statistically evaluate the user behavior (e.g. average duration of visits to the app, frequently used pages/functions) in anonymized and aggregated form. The IP addresses are anonymized immediately after collection and before they are saved. They do not allow the visitors to the app to be identified. The data is not disclosed to third parties.

We use technical service providers, in particular, to host and operate the website. We presently use Mittwald CM Service GmbH & Co. KG, Königsberger Straße 4-6, 32339 Espelkamp, Germany.

We will also make personal data available to these service providers, if necessary, so that they are able to fulfill their tasks. In the process, we observe all statutory data protection requirements and obligate our service providers to do so if necessary. The service providers are permitted to process the personal data solely on our behalf and not for their own purposes, and must treat the data confidentially.  For this purpose, we have entered into agreements on commissioned data processing in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR.

If we use services whose providers are partly located in third countries outside the European Economic Area or process personal data there, and the European Commission has not adopted an adequacy decision in accordance with Article 45 of the GDPR for these countries, we have taken corresponding precautions to guarantee an appropriate level of data protection for any data transfers that may take place. These include, inter alia, the European Union’s standard contractual clauses or binding internal data protection regulations. Where this is not possible, we base the data transfer on your explicit consent.
