Cookies

Our website uses HTTP cookies to save user-specific data.
We explain below, what cookies are and why they are used, so that you can better understand the following data protection declaration.

What exactly are cookies?

Whenever you surf the internet, use a browser. Well-known browsers are, for example, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites save small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.

One thing cannot be dismissed out of hand: Cookies are really useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More precisely, they are HTTP cookies, as there are also other cookies for other areas of application. HTTP cookies are small files, which are stored on your computer by our website. These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, quasi the "brain" of your browser, housed. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.

Cookies save certain user data from you, such as language or personal page settings. When you visit our site again, Your browser transmits the "user-related" information back to our site. Thanks to the cookies, our website knows, who you are and offers you your usual standard setting. In some browsers, each cookie has its own file, in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.

There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First party cookies are created directly from our site, Third party cookies are used by partner websites (z.B. Google Analytics) created. Each cookie has to be evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiry time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other "pests". Cookies cannot access information on your PC either.

This is what cookie data can look like, for example:

  • Name: _ga
  • Expiration time: 2 Years
  • use: Differentiation of website visitors
  • Exemplary value: GA1.2.1326744211.152311169848

A browser should support the following minimum sizes:

  • A cookie should at least 4096 May contain bytes
  • At least 50 Cookies can be saved
  • In total, at least 3000 Cookies can be saved

What types of cookies are there?

The question of which cookies we specifically use, depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the data protection declaration. At this point we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.

One can 4 Differentiate between types of cookies:

Absolutely necessary cookies
These cookies are necessary, to ensure the basic functions of the website. For example, it needs these cookies, when a user puts a product in the shopping cart, then continue surfing on other pages and only go to the checkout later. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart, even if the user closes his browser window.

Functional cookies
These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. These cookies are also used to measure the loading time and the behavior of the website with different browsers.

Goal-oriented cookies
These cookies ensure better user-friendliness. For example, locations entered are, Font sizes or form data saved.

Advertising cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They serve to deliver customized advertising to the user. That can be very practical, but also be very annoying.

Usually, you will be asked the first time you visit a website, which of these types of cookies you want to allow. And of course this decision is also saved in a cookie.

How can I delete cookies??

How and whether you want to use cookies, decide for yourself. Regardless of which service or website the cookies originate from, you always have the option to delete cookies, only partially allow or disable. For example, you can block third-party cookies, but allow all other cookies.

So you can decide for each individual cookie, whether you allow the cookie or not. The procedure is different depending on the browser. It is best to search for the instructions in Google with the search term “delete cookies Chrome” or “deactivate cookies Chrome” in the case of a Chrome browser or swap the word “Chrome” for the name of your browser, z.B. Edge, Firefox, Safari wears out.

We use Google Fonts on our website. These are the “Google Fonts” from Google Inc. For the European area, the company is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) responsible for all Google services.

You don't need to sign in or sign up to use Google fonts. deposit a password. Furthermore, no cookies are stored in your browser. The files (CSS, Fonts / fonts) are requested via the Google domains fonts.googleapis.com and fonts.gstatic.com. According to Google, the requests for CSS and fonts are completely separate from all other Google services. If you have a google account, don't need to worry, that your google account information, while using Google Fonts, transmitted to Google. Google records the use of CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and the fonts used and stores this data securely. What the data storage looks like exactly, we will look at it in more detail.

What are Google Fonts?

Google Fonts (formerly Google Web Fonts) is a directory with about 800 Fonts, theGoogle makes available to its users free of charge.

Many of these fonts are published under the SIL Open Font License, while others were released under the Apache license. Both are free software licenses.

Why do we use Google Fonts on our website?

With Google Fonts we can use fonts on our own website, but they don't have to upload to our own server. Google Fonts is an important building block, to keep the quality of our website high. All Google fonts are automatically optimized for the web and this saves data volume and is a great advantage, especially for use with mobile devices. When you visit our site, the small file size ensures a fast loading time. Furthermore, Google Fonts are secure web fonts.

Thanks to the fast content delivery network (CDN) there are no cross-platform problems with Google Fonts. Google Fonts supports all common browsers (Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera) and works reliably on most modern mobile operating systems, including Android 2.2+ and iOS 4.2+ (iPhone, iPad, iPod). So we use Google Fonts, so that we can present our entire online service as nicely and consistently as possible.

Which data is saved by Google?

When you visit our website, the fonts are reloaded via a Google server. This external call transfers data to the Google server. So Google recognizes too, that you resp. Your IP address visit our website. The Google Fonts API was developed, to use, To reduce the storage and collection of end-user data to that, what is necessary for a proper supply of fonts.

Google Fonts saves CSS- and writing inquiries are safe with Google and are therefore protected. Google can determine from the collected usage figures, how well the individual fonts are received. Google publishes the results on internal analysis sites, such as Google Analytics. Google also uses data from its own web crawler, to realize, which websites use Google fonts. This data is published in Google Fonts' BigQuery database. Entrepreneurs and developers use the Google web service BigQuery, to examine and move large amounts of data.

However, it still has to be considered, that every Google Font request also provides information such as language settings, IP Address, Version of the browser, The screen resolution of the browser and the name of the browser are automatically transmitted to the Google server. Whether this data is also saved, is not clearly identifiable or. is not clearly communicated by Google.

How long and where is the data stored?

Google stores requests for CSS assets on its servers for one day, which are mainly located outside the EU. That enables us, use the fonts with the help of a Google stylesheet. A stylesheet is a template, via which you can easily and quickly e.g.. the design or. can change the font of a web page.

The font files are stored by Google for one year. Google is pursuing the goal, to fundamentally improve the loading time of websites. When millions of web pages refer to the same fonts, they are cached after the first visit and appear again immediately on all other websites visited later. Sometimes Google updates font files, to reduce the file size, increase the coverage of language and improve the design.

How can I delete my data?. prevent data storage?

Those dates, the google for a day or. a year saves cannot simply be deleted. The data is automatically transmitted to Google when the page is accessed. To be able to delete this data early, need google support https://support.google.com/?hl=de&tid=311169848 to contact. In this case you only prevent data storage, if you do not visit our site.

Unlike other web fonts, Google allows us unrestricted access to all fonts. We can therefore have unlimited access to a sea of ​​fonts and thus get the most out of our website. You can find more about Google Fonts and other questions at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq?tid=311169848.

We can use the Google Tag Manager to access code sections from various tracking tools, that we use on our website, install and manage centrally.

The data collected by these tools show us, what interests you most, where we can improve our services and which people we should show our offers. And so that this tracking works, we have to embed corresponding JavaScript codes in our website. In principle, we could incorporate each code section of the individual tracking tools separately into our source code. However, this takes a relatively long time and it is easy to lose track of things. That's why we use the Google Tag Manager. We can easily integrate the necessary scripts and manage them from one place. In addition, the Google Tag Manager offers an easy-to-use user interface and you do not need any programming knowledge. That's how we do it, To keep order in our day jungle.

We therefore agree to our website data being passed on anonymously. Which summarized and anonymous data is exactly forwarded, we could not find out - despite long research. In any case, Google will delete all information, that could identify our website. Google combines the data with hundreds of other anonymous website data and creates it, as part of benchmarking measures, User trends. Benchmarking compares your own results with those of your competitors. Processes can be optimized on the basis of the information collected.

How long and where is the data stored?

Both private individuals and companies use Twitter, to communicate with interested people via short messages. Twitter only allows per message 280 character. These messages are called "tweets". Unlike Facebook, for example, the service does not focus on expanding a network for "friends", but wants to be understood as a global and open news platform. You can also have an anonymous account on Twitter and tweets can come from the company, on the other hand, can be deleted by the users themselves.

Why do we use Twitter on our website?

Like many other websites and companies, we try to offer our services through various channels and to communicate with our customers. Twitter in particular has grown dear to our hearts as a useful “little” news service. Again and again we tweet or retweet exciting ones, funny or interesting content. It is clear to us, that you cannot follow every channel separately. After all, you have something else to do. That is why we have also integrated Twitter functions on our website. You can experience our Twitter activity “on site” or come to our Twitter page via a direct link. By integrating it, we want to strengthen our service and user-friendliness on our website.

Google reCAPTCHA privacy policy

It is our ultimate goal, to secure and protect our website for you and for us in the best possible way. To ensure that, we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google Inc. For the European area, the company is Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) responsible for all Google services. With reCAPTCHA we can determine, whether you are really a flesh and blood human and not a robot or some other spam software. We mean everyone by spam, electronically, unwanted information, that comes to us unasked. With the classic CAPTCHAS you usually had to check text- or solve picture puzzles. With reCAPTCHA from Google, we usually don't have to bother you with such puzzles. In most cases it is sufficient here, if you just put a tick and confirm so, that you are not a bot. With the new Invisible reCAPTCHA version you don't even have to check the box anymore. How this works exactly and, above all, which data is used for it, you will find out in the course of this privacy policy.

What is reCAPTCHA?

reCAPTCHA is a free captcha service from Google, which protects websites from spam software and abuse by non-human visitors. This service is used most often, when you fill out forms on the Internet. A captcha service is a type of automatic Turing test, to ensure, that an action on the Internet is carried out by a human and not a bot. In the classic Turing test (named after the computer scientist Alan Turing) a person establishes the distinction between bot and human. With captchas, this is also done by the computer or. a software program. Classic captchas work with small tasks, which are easy for humans to solve, but have considerable difficulties for machines. With reCAPTCHA you no longer have to actively solve puzzles. The tool uses modern risk techniques, to distinguish people from bots. All you have to do here is tick the text field “I am not a robot”. With Invisible reCAPTCHA, even that is no longer necessary. With reCAPTCHA, a JavaScript element is integrated into the source text and then the tool runs in the background and analyzes your user behavior. From these user actions, the software calculates a so-called captcha score. Google uses this score to calculate how high the probability is before entering the captcha, that you are human. reCAPTCHA or. Captchas in general are always used, when bots take certain actions (such as. Registrations, Surveys etc.) manipulate or abuse.

Why do we use reCAPTCHA on our website?

We only want to welcome people of flesh and blood on our side. Bots or spam software of all kinds can safely stay at home. That's why we're pulling out all the stops, to protect us and to offer you the best possible usability. For this reason we use Google reCAPTCHA from Google. So we can be pretty sure, that we remain a “bot-free” website. By using reCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google, to realize, whether you are really human. reCAPTCHA therefore serves the security of our website and consequently also your security. For example, it could happen without reCAPTCHA, that a bot registers as many e-mail addresses as possible when registering, in order to subsequently "spam" forums or blogs with unwanted advertising content. With reCAPTCHA we can avoid such bot attacks.

Which data is stored by reCAPTCHA?

reCAPTCHA collects personal data from users, to realize, whether the actions on our website really come from people. So it can be the IP address and other data, which Google needs for the reCAPTCHA service, sent to Google. IP addresses are almost always shortened beforehand within the member states of the EU or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area, before the data ends up on a server in the USA. The IP address is not combined with other Google data, unless you are signed in to your Google account while using reCAPTCHA. First the reCAPTCHA algorithm checks, whether Google cookies from other Google services are already on your browser (YouTube. Gmail etc.) are placed. ReCAPTCHA then sets an additional cookie in your browser and takes a snapshot of your browser window.

The following list of collected browsers- and user data, does not claim to be complete. Rather, they are examples of data, according to our knowledge, processed by Google.

  • Referrer URL (the address of the page from which the visitor is coming)
  • IP Address (z.B. 256.123.123.1)
  • Information about the operating system(the software, which enables the operation of your computer. Known operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X or Linux)
  • Cookies(small text files, save the data in your browser)
  • mouse- and keyboard behavior(every action, that you do with the mouse or keyboard is saved)
  • Date and language settings(which language or. which date you have preset on your PC will be saved)
  • All Javascript objects(JavaScript is a programming language, which enables websites, adapt to the user. JavaScript objects can collect all kinds of data under one name)
  • Screen resolution(shows how many pixels the picture consists of)

Is undisputed, that Google uses and analyzes this data even before you click the "I'm not a robot" tick. With the Invisible reCAPTCHA version, there is even no ticking and the entire recognition process runs in the background. How much and what data Google stores exactly, one does not learn from Google in detail.
