Detailed information

Website, Cookies & Tracking

Hosting

This website is delivered from a server system that is hosted by netcup GmbH with seat in Karlsruhe and servers in Germany. While the software is run by the responsible, it cannot be fully ruled out that the hoster gets in touch with personal data – this then takes place in form of commissioned data processing.

Server protocol: IP addresses and pages requested

Our system saves access log. They generally contain:

The data processing including saving is based on legitimate interest for the purpose of error and attack diagnosis.

Logfiles are being saved for seven days.

SSL encryption

Your communication will in all regular cases be encrypted (TLS/SSL), so data cannot be read by third parties with reasonable effort (we cannot completely exclude it, though). You will see your browsers marking for encrypted sites.

Login

Login is restricted to authorized users who are informed in a different way about privacy. Hence, there is no further information here.

Usage statistics

We create statistics about your use of our website. We cannot attribute this information to you as a person, especially we do not correlate them with any personal data you may have entered such as your name or email address. Hence, no personal data should be created. We use the statistics tool matomo with privacy friendly settings, for example we anonymize your IP address before saving it. The cookies used by the system are used to identify whether a person has earlier visited the page. The corresponding data is pseudonymous and we do not have any possiblity to attribute it to you concretely. The statistics system uses cookies with names beginning with _pk_ref (referral cookie, lifetime 6 monts), _pk_id (visitor cookie, lifetime 13 months), _pk_cvar and _pk_ses (session cookies, lifetime 30 minutes).

The data processing is based on our legitimate interest which lies in adapting our page to your needs and interests. You may object such processing, for further information see section your rights. In that case we will set a cookie stating that you do not want to be tracked and our system will not set any tracking cookies.

We use the following data for creating statistics:

Cookies – What they are and how we use them

Internet sites are stateless by default. That is, the server basically does not know who you are, where you come from and whether you have already visited the site. Cookies help to establish a status. Thanks to them, the server may, for example, identify whether you have logged in as a user or whether you have recently visited the page. This is done by sending your browser tiny text files, which your software saves and sends to the server together with the next request. Further information can be found in Wikipedia. You may change your preference at any time (please see chapter “Your rights“).

Besides that, you can always set your browser to not accept any cookies. Should that lead to any restrictions in use of this page, please let us know as such consequences are unintended and we will look for solutions to them.

Cookies used

This cookie named flcookie does not store any personal data, just your choice whether you want cookies or not (that is technically necessary).

The CMS system may set the kirby_session cookie which is used solely for technically efficient delivery of the pages (e.g. language selection and login for authorized users) and not analyzed regarding usage.

Depending on your cookie choice, the statistics system will create cookies starting with _pk_, the description of which you find in the section regarding statistics above.

Revoking your cookie settings and cookie consent

You can reset your cookie settings for this page anytime by deleting the cookies or by clicking on the following button. As far as you have made your cookie choice, one single cookie will be set in any case.

Social Media: LinkedIn

We maintain a LinkedIn company page. LinkedIn is an offering provided in Europe by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company with seat in the Republic of Ireland.

For using LinkedIn, users need to register and thereby provide further data to the company. Registered users can follow our page, take notice of our postings and interact with them, e.g. by showing reactions to them, commenting them or sharing them. All such activities are mostly public within LinkedIn, that is, they can be seen by other registered users.

The data processing is controlled by LinkedIn and we only see public activities and aggregated statistics regarding our page (e.g. how often a message has been shown to users).

You may find further information regarding data processing within LinkedIn in the LinkedIn privacy policy.

Social Media: Twitter
