  2. 2. Which sources and data do we use?
    1. 2.1 Direct Transmission
      • If you contact us (e.g. application via mail or e-mail, interest in our products, etc.), you will transmit personal data to us. This data is processed by us in the context of the respective contact.

      • As a matter of principle, you can visit our internet presence without telling us who you are. Then, we merely find out
      • your IP address (person-related data, because it is possible under certain preconditions to learn of the identity of the owner of the internet access which has been used through information from the internet provider in question)
      • the name of the internet site accessed or the file accessed and the time of access and closing,
      • the quantity of data transmitted and
      • whether the access or closing was successful.
      • The data are exclusively used for administration and optimisation of the internet offer.
      • Your IP address is only evaluated by us in the event of attacks on our internet infrastructure. Your IP address is deleted as soon as we can rule out that an attack on our internet infrastructure has been made by it. This is done regularly.

    4. 2.4 Use of cookies
      • Cookies are also used within our online offer. Cookies are small data packages which are placed on your computer's hard disk via the browser. They serve to control the online offer during your visit or in the event of a later visit. We make your visit more comfortable as a result.
      • Some browsers permit cookies in their basic settings. If you do not want them, you can change your browser's settings. Please consult the information from the browser manufacturer to see how you can go about this. If you decide against cookies, it may be possible that parts of our online offer cannot be used.

    5. 2.5 Tracking and web analysis services
      • 2.5.1 Use of Google Analytics and Google Tag Manager
      • This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analysed. 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. 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 of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The full IP address is only transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there in exceptional cases. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services related to website activity and internet usage.
      • The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
      • You can prevent the storage of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by using the browser plug-in available under the following link. Download and install in: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
      • This website uses Google Analytics with the extension "_anonymizeIp ()". As a result, IP addresses are processed in abbreviated form, so that personal references can be excluded. If the data collected about you can be linked to a person, this will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.
      • User conditions: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html, as well as the Data protection declaration https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
      • This website also uses Google Analytics for a cross-device analysis of visitor flows, which is carried out via a user ID. You can deactivate the cross-device analysis of your usage in your customer account under "My data", "Personal data".
      • https://myaccount.google.com
      • Use of Google Tag Manager: Google Tag Manager is a solution with which marketers can manage website tags via an interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in effect for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager. https://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

    6. 2.5.2 Google Analytics Remarketing
      • Our websites use the functions of Google Analytics Remarketing in conjunction with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
      • This function makes it possible to link the advertising target groups created with Google Analytics Remarketing with the cross-device functions of Google AdWords and Google DoubleClick. In this way, interest-based, personalized advertising messages that have been adapted to you depending on your previous usage and surfing behavior on one device (e.g. mobile phone) can also be displayed on another of your devices (e.g. tablet or PC).
      • If you have given Google your consent, Google will link your web and app browser history to your Google account for this purpose. In this way, the same personalized advertising messages can be displayed on every device on which you log in with your Google account.
      • To support this function, Google Analytics collects Google-authenticated user IDs, which are temporarily linked to our Google Analytics data in order to define and create target groups for cross-device advertising.
      • You can permanently object to cross-device remarketing / targeting by deactivating personalized advertising in your Google account; follow this link: https://www.google.com/settings/ads/onweb/.
      • The aggregation of the recorded data in your Google account takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent, which you can give to Google or revoke (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR). In the case of data collection processes that are not merged in your Google account (e.g. because you do not have a Google account or have objected to the merging), the collection of data is based on Art. 6 Paragraph 1 lit. Interest in the anonymized analysis of website visitors for advertising purposes.
      • Further information can be found in Google’s data protection declaration: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/ .

If you use the further-reaching functions of Google, for example by clicking on the displayed map, you use a Google service outside our sphere of influence. In this case, the requirements and references stated by Google in this context apply.
      • On the website accessible at www.google.de, you will find further information on
      • the Google conditions of use ("general terms and conditions"),
