The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent. In addition, Google Analytics functions are implemented on this website that enable the evaluation of display advertising, such as remarketing, reports on impressions in the Google Display Network, integration of DoubleClick Campaign Manager or Google Analytics reports on performance by demographic characteristics and interests. Google Analytics for display advertising can be disabled via the ad settings and the settings for the Google Display Network can be adjusted.

4.2 Facebook
This website uses so-called social plugins (“plugins”) of the social network Facebook, which is operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are marked with a Facebook logo or the addition “Social Plugin from Facebook” or “Facebook Social Plugin”. An overview of the Facebook plugins and their appearance can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/plugins When you access a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to your browser and integrated into the website by the browser. By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted by your browser directly to a Facebook server in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook account. If you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the “Like” button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends. Facebook may use this information for the purposes of advertising, market research and needs-based design of Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g., to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website and to provide further services associated with the use of Facebook. If you do not want Facebook to associate the data collected via our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website. For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy notices: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php
4.3 Twitter
This offering uses the buttons of the Twitter service. These buttons are provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. They can be recognized by terms such as “Twitter” or “Follow”, combined with a stylized blue bird. The buttons make it possible to share a post or page of this offering on Twitter or to follow the provider on Twitter. When a user accesses a webpage of this website that contains such a button, their browser establishes a direct connection to Twitter’s servers. The content of the Twitter buttons is transmitted by Twitter directly to the user’s browser. The provider therefore has no influence on the scope of the data that Twitter collects with the help of this plugin and informs users accordingly based on its knowledge. According to this, only the user’s IP address and the URL of the respective webpage are transmitted when the button is accessed, but are not used for purposes other than displaying the button.
