We only use session cookies (temporary cookies), i.e. those that are only saved temporarily for the duration of your visit to our website.

These cookies are used to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of our websites and to continue to identify your device during a visit to our website when you change from one of our websites to another of our websites, and to be able to determine the end of your visit. This lets us know which area of our websites and which other websites our users have visited.

Most browsers are pre-configured to automatically accept cookies. However, you can deactivate the saving of cookies or configure your browser to notify you before cookies are saved. Users who do not accept cookies may not be able to access certain areas of our website.

5.2. Integration of social plug-ins

Social plug-ins from the social networks

  • Facebook (Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2 Ireland),
  • Google+ (Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street
  • Dublin 4, Ireland) and
  • Twitter (Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, California 94103, USA)

are included on our website and are offered by the respective company (“provider”). The social plug-ins are identified by the respective buttons on our website. Based on the data transmitted via the social plug-ins to the respective service, the service may be able to correlate you with your associated account. To enhance the protection of your data on our website, social plug-ins are integrated using a method known as the “two-click solution”. This ensures that on accessing one of our websites containing social plug-ins, no automatic connection is established with the servers of the respective provider.

Activation of the respective social plug-in function takes place in two stages. To activate a social plug-in, first, you must click on the link on our website. This activates the social plug-in and your browser initiates a connection to the servers of the provider. With a second click, you can interact with the social plug-in and send your recommendation, for example. If you are already logged into one of the social networks, the providers can directly correlate the visit to this website with your social media profile. If you click on and interact with the social plug-ins, information is also sent directly to one of the provider’s servers, where it is stored. The information may also be published on the social network and appear there under your contacts. Should you wish to prevent the direct correlation of data collected via our website with your profile, you will need to log out of your account with the respective provider prior to visiting our website.

Details about the extent and purpose of data collection by the provider as well as the processing and use of your data can be found in the privacy notice on the provider's website.
