This data includes meta/communication data (namely the IP address and operating system of your device and the type of browser you use to access the online platform) and usage data (namely access times).

How and for what we use cookies

We use cookies on the online platform to offer you the best possible user experience and to obtain information on how to improve our products and services. Cookies are text files that are downloaded to your device when you visit a website.

Cookies serve the purpose of identifying the individual end devices (or the browsers installed on them) through which a user accesses the online platform. For this purpose, the cookie generates an identification number (cookie ID) when activated. Some of the cookies used on the online platform (so-called session cookies) are necessary so that we can enable you to use certain functions. Session cookies store the contents of a shopping cart, for example, and are deleted as soon as you leave the online platform and close your browser. We also use so-called persistent cookies to enable analysis of the use of the online platform, optimization of our products and services, and the use of online marketing services. Persistent cookies remain on your end device even after you close your browser. This also means that cookies are stored so that you are recognized the next time you visit the online platform and to record when you used the live chat. Further information on web analysis, live chat, and our marketing activities can be found below.

Depending on the technology used, opting out may require the setting of a cookie on your device or the installation of a browser plug-in in individual cases. If all cookies are deleted, this may prevent opting out in individual cases.

Deactivating cookies may result in the functionality of the online platform being restricted.

 

Data we collect and process to analyze and improve the use of the online platform

We use the analysis services Google Analytics from Google LL.C. (“Google”) and Hotjar by Hotjar Ltd. (“Hotjar”) to evaluate the use of the online platform and to obtain information for the purpose of improving our services.

Google Analytics and Hotjar use cookies to evaluate your use of the online platform, to compile reports on user activities on the online platform and to provide us with other services related to the use of the online platform. We have a legitimate interest in doing this. Google and Hotjar only store the information collected via cookies in an anonymized form and process it in an aggregated form.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a server of mail

Google in the USA and shortened there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity for website operators and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties if required to do so by law, or if third parties process the data on Google's behalf. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent Google Analytics from using your data by downloading and installing a browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).

Such links are recognizable on the online platform by the logo of the respective social network. All sharing links used are set up without scripts. To do this, we set a "coded" link to the respective social network, which specifies the page to be shared via parameters. In addition, no user data is passed on to the respective social network. The respective providers are responsible for the data protection-compliant operation of the social networks and their respective data protection declarations apply. We have neither influence nor access to cookies that providers of social networks set after clicking on the sharing link.

This function is used to distinguish whether the input was made by a human or abusively by automated, machine scripts. We have a legitimate interest in this. When this query is made, the IP address and other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service (e.g. page visited, user behavior, browser data) are transmitted to Google. However, your IP address is shortened by Google beforehand. Only in In exceptional cases, the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
