Google Analytics employs cookies, which are small files stored in your internet browser, enabling the analysis of website usage. The information generated by these cookies regarding your use of this website is typically transmitted to and stored on a Google server in Europe (or a member state of the European Economic Area) for IP address anonymization, ensuring that personal identification is excluded.

Social Media Plugins
On certain pages of our website, so-called social media plugins (“plugins”), in particular the “Like” button from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA, the LinkedIn button from LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, California 94043, USA, as well as functions of the Instagram service (a Facebook product), may be integrated (“social media platforms”).
Plugins from other social media platforms may also be used on our website.
When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of the respective social media platform. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser and embedded in the page. Through this integration, the operator of the social media platform receives information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile on the respective social media platform or are not currently logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a server of the platform operator, which may be located in the USA, and stored there.
If you are logged into the respective social media platform, your visit to our website can be directly associated with your profile on the social media platform. When you interact with the plugins, such as pressing the “Like” button or leaving a comment, this information is also transmitted directly to a server of the platform operator and stored there. If you wish to prevent this, please log out of your social media accounts before visiting our website.
We have no influence on the data that Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and other social media platform operators collect based on their plugins. For the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram, and your related rights and privacy settings, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective providers:

This integration ensures that when a page of our website containing such plugins is accessed, no connection is made to the servers of the respective social media platform provider. By clicking on one of the buttons, a new window of your browser opens and accesses the page of the respective service provider, where you can, for example, press the “Like” or “Share” button after entering your login details. For the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of the data by the providers on their pages, and your related rights and privacy settings, please refer to the privacy policies of the respective providers.
