Cookies

This website partly uses “cookies.” “Cookies” are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases. You can also exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing your browser.

Server Log-Files

When you visit this site, the server of our provider automatically stores the information that your browser sends.
These are regularly browser type/browser version, operating system, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, date, and time of the visit. This information cannot be assigned to specific individuals. It is used solely for the analysis and maintenance of the technical operation of the server and the network and is automatically deleted after 3 months.

Contact form

To the extent that personal data, such as name or email addresses, are collected on these pages – as in the contact form – this is always done on a voluntary basis. This data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent. It will be stored with us for the purpose of processing your request.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email or through the contact form) can have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps mapping service via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings and an easy location of the places we have indicated on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
