This information (server log files) includes, for example, the type of web browser, the operating system used, the domain name of your internet service provider and similar. This is exclusively information which does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your person. This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the website content requested by you and is mandatory when using the internet. It is processed in particular for the following purposes:<\/p><ul><li>Ensuring a problem-free connection to the website,<\/li><li>Ensuring smooth use of our website,<\/li><li>Evaluation of system security and stability as well as<\/li><li>for further administrative purposes.<\/li><\/ul><p>The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest from the aforementioned purposes for data collection.

Anonymous information of this kind may be statistically evaluated by us to optimise our website and the technology behind it.<\/p><h4>Cookies<\/h4><p>Like many other websites, we also use so-called \u201ccookies\u201d. Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system and your connection to the internet. Cookies cannot be used to start programmes or transfer viruses to a computer. Based on the information contained in cookies, we can make navigation easier for you and enable our web pages to be displayed correctly. Under no circumstances will the data we collect be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent. Of course, you can generally view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. In general, you can deactivate the use of cookies at any time via your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to find out how you can change these settings. Please note that individual functions of our website may not work if you have deactivated the use of cookies.<\/p><h4>Use of script libraries (Google Webfonts)<\/h4><p>In order to display our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Webfonts (<a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20200223123030\/http:\/\/www.google.com\/webfonts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/webfonts\/<\/a>) on this website. Google Webfonts are transferred to your browser&#8217;s cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Webfonts or prevents access, content will be displayed in a standard font. Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the operator of the library. It is theoretically possible \u2013 although currently unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes \u2013 that operators of corresponding libraries collect data. You can find the privacy policy of the library operator Google here: <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20200223123030\/https:\/\/www.google.com\/policies\/privacy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/policies\/privacy\/<\/a><\/p><h4>Use of Google Maps<\/h4><p>This website uses the Google Maps API to visually display geographical information.

The provider of the corresponding plugins is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page containing the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube\u2019s servers is established. YouTube is thereby informed of which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can associate your browsing behaviour with you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.<br \/>When a YouTube video is played, the provider uses cookies to collect information about user behaviour. If you have disabled cookies for Google\u2019s advertising programme, you should not expect any such cookies to be set when watching YouTube videos.
