In order to allow you to\nfully understand our privacy policy, please find an explanation regarding what\ncookies are, and why they are being used, below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What exactly are\ncookies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You\nare using a browser whenever you use the internet. Common browsers are, for\nexample, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most\nwebsites store small text files in your browser \u2013 these files are known as\ncookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One\nthing is clear: cookies are useful little helpers. Almost all websites use\ncookies. To be exact, they\u2019re using HTTP-cookies, as there are other cookies\nthat serve other purposes. HTTP cookies are small files that are stored on your\ncomputer by our website. These cookie files are automatically stored in the\ncookie folder, which is practically the \u2018brain\u2019 of your browser. A cookie\nconsists of a name and a value. Upon defining a cookie, one or more attributes\nhave to be defined. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cookies\nremember certain pieces of user-related data, such as your preferred language\nor personalised page settings. Upon re-visiting our website, your browser sends\nthis \u2018user-related\u2019 data to our website. Thanks to these cookies, our website\nknows who you are, and will be able to display your default settings. In some\nbrowsers, cookies each have their own file. However, others like for example Firefox,\nstore all cookies in a single file. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There\nare first-party cookies, as well as third-party cookies. First-party cookies\nare created directly by our website, whereas third-party cookies are created by\npartner websites (for example, Google Analytics). Each and every cookie should\nbe individually looked at, as every cookie stores a different type of data.\nEven the expiration date of every cookie can vary \u2013 ranging from just a few\nminutes to a few years. Cookies are no software programmes, and they do not\ncontain any viruses, Trojan viruses, or other malware. Cookies are not able to\naccess any data stored on your PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cookies can, for example, look like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Name:\n_ga<\/li><li>Expiration\ndate: 2 years<\/li><li>Purpose:\nDifferentiating between website visitors<\/li><li>Example\nvalue: GA1.2.1326744211.152211096540<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A browser should be able to support the following minimum\nsizes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>A\ncookie should be able to consist of a minimum of 4096 bytes<\/li><li>A\nminimum of 50 cookies per domain should be able to be stored<\/li><li>A\ntotal of at least 3000 cookies should be able to be stored<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What are the various types of cookies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Which\nparticular cookies we use really depends on which features are used. In our\nprivacy policy below, we will attempt to explain the various types of cookies.\nAt this point, we would like to quickly define the various types of HTTP\ncookies further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One\ncan distinguish between 4 types of cookies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Strictly necessary cookies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These\ncookies are essential to run the fundamental features of the website. These\ncookies are required when, for example, a user places a product into the\nbasket, then continues browsing other websites, and only proceeds to the\ncheckout later on. Thanks to these cookies, the contents of the basket will not\nbe deleted, even if the user closes the browser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Functional cookies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These\ncookies collect data concerning the user activity, and whether you encounter\npotential error messages.

For example, entered locations, font sizes\nor data entered in forms is saved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Advertising cookies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These\ncookies are also known as targeting cookies, and they are used to deliver\npersonalised ads. This can be quite convenient, but occasionally also annoying.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Usually\nyou will be asked what type of cookies you wish to enable upon your first visit\nto a website. And this decision is, of course, saved within a cookie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>How can I delete cookies?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\nis up to you to decide whether you would like to use cookies (and to what\ndegree), or not. Unrelated to the service or website of origin of a cookie, you\nalways have the option to either clear cookies, only enable some cookies, or to\ndeactivate them all. For example, you are able to block third-parties cookies\nwhilst still enabling all other cookies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If\nyou wish to find out which cookies are stored by your browser, or if you wish\nto change your cookie settings or clear them, please check your browser\nsettings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Chrome:\nClear, enable, and manage cookies in Chrome<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Safari:\nManage cookies and website data in Safari on Mac<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Firefox:\nClear cookies and site data in Firefox<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Internet\nExplorer: Delete and Manage cookies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Microsoft\nEdge: Delete cookies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If\nyou do not wish to enable any cookies at all, you can set up your browser to\nalert you whenever a cookie is usually set. This way you are able to decide\nevery single time if you wish to enable a cookie or not. This process differs\ndepending on the browser. We suggest searching for instructions by googling the\nterm \u2018delete cookies Chrome\u2019 or \u2018deactivate cookies Chrome\u2019, if you are using a\nChrome browser. In case you are not, simply replace the word \u2018Chrome\u2019 with the\nname of your browser \u2013 for example, Edge, Firefox or Safari. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What about Data Protection?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As\nof 2009, the so-called \u2018Cookie Policy\u2019 is in effect.

We use Google reCAPTCHA (Google\nInc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to ensure this.\nreCAPTCHA allows us to find out whether you are really a human being, made of\nflesh and blood, instead of a bot or a different kind of spam software. We\ndefine \u2018spam\u2019 as any kind of unwelcome and unwanted electronically communicated\ninformation we may receive. Classical CAPTCHAS prompted users to prove they are\nhuman by first solving text or picture puzzles. reCAPTCHA by Google means we do\nnot have to bother you the same way \u2013 in most cases, you can now simply tick a\nbox to confirm you are not a bot. The new version of invisible reCAPTCHA means\nyou do not even have to tick a box anymore. How this works, and what kind of\ndata is required for this process, is explained in the following parts of our privacy\npolicy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This\nis permitted due to legal provision of Article 6 (1) f (\u2018Rechtm\u00e4\u00dfigkeit der\nVerarbeitung\u2019, or \u2018Lawfulness of processing\u2019), as there is a legitimate\ninterest to protect this website from bots and spam software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What is\nreCAPTCHA?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">reCAPTCHA\nis a free Captcha-service by Google, which protects websites from spam software\nand improper use by non-human visitors. This service is most commonly used upon\nfilling out forms on the internet. A Captcha-service is an automatic Turing\ntest, which is supposed to ascertain whether an action on the internet was\nperformed by a human, and not a bot. The classic Turing test (named after the\ncomputer scientist Alan Turing) uses another human being to differentiate\nbetween bot and human. Captchas, however, use a computer or software programme\nto take on this role. Classic Captchas employ small tasks that are easily\nsolved by humans, but cause tremendous difficulties for bots or machines.\nreCAPTCHA instead does not prompt you to solve any puzzles. This tool employs\nmodern risk technologies to differentiate between human beings and bots. You\nsimply have to tick the \u2018I am not a robot\u2019 box, and even this simple step isn\u2019t\nrequired when using invisible reCAPTCHA. reCAPTCHA incorporates a JavaScript\nelement into the source code; and the tool automatically runs in the background\nto analyse your user behaviour and activity. Based on the user\u2019s actions, a\nso-called Captcha score is calculated by the software. Google uses this score,\neven before you interact with Captcha, to calculate the probability of you\nbeing a human. reCAPTCHAS, or Captchas in general, are used when bots could\npossibly manipulate or abuse certain features (for example, creating accounts, polls,\netc.). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Why do we use reCAPTCHA on our website?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\nonly want to welcome humans made of flesh and blood to our website. Bots or\nspam software of any kind can happily stay away. This is why we pull out all\nthe stops to protect ourselves, and to offer you the most user-friendly\nexperience. This is why we use Google reCAPTCHA by Google. By doing so, we can\nbe safe in the knowledge that our website remains free of bots. By using\nreCAPTCHA, data is transmitted to Google, and this data is then used by Google\nto ascertain that you are truly a human being. reCAPTCHA therefore provides\nsecurity for our website \u2013 and, in turn, also for you. Without reCAPTCHA, for\nexample, a bot could register accounts with as many e-mail addresses as possible,\nsimply to spam our forum or blog with unwanted ads afterwards. We can avoid\nthese attacks by using reCAPTCHA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>What kind of data is stored by\nreCAPTCHA?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">reCAPTCHA\ncollects personal user data to ascertain whether any activity on our website is\nactually thanks to humans. This means IP addresses and other data, which is\nneeded by Google to ensure reCAPTCHA works, can also be sent to Google. Within\nthe member states of the EU or other countries that are part of the Agreement\nof the European Economic Area, IP addresses are usually shortened, before they\nend up on a server in the US. IP addresses are not combined with other data by\nGoogle, as long as you are not signed into your Google account whilst using\nreCAPTCHA. The reCAPTCHA algorithm first checks whether your browser already\nstores any cookies of other Google services (YouTube, Gmail, etc.). Afterwards,\nreCAPTCHA sets an additional cookie in your browser, and takes a screenshot of\nyour browser window. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nfollowing list of collected browser and user data is not exhaustive. They are\nmeant to be examples of data which is, based on our experience and knowledge,\nprocessed by Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Referrer URL (the address of the page where you clicked a link that\n     sent you to this page)<\/li><li>IP address (for example, 256.123.123.1)<\/li><li>Information regarding the operating system (software that supports\n     your computer\u2019s functions; common operating systems are Windows, Mac OS X\n     or Linux)<\/li><li>Cookies (small text files which store data in your browser)<\/li><li>Mouse and keyboard activity (all the actions executed by your mouse\n     or keyboard are stored) <\/li><li>Date and language setting (the language and date you have pre-set on\n     your PC will be stored)<\/li><li>All JavaScript objects (JavaScript is a programming language, which\n     enables interactive websites; JavaScript objects can collect all kind of\n     data under just one name)<\/li><li>Screen resolution (shows how many pixels your screen resolution\n     consists of)<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s\nundisputed that Google uses and analyses this data even before you tick the \u2018I\nam not a robot\u2019 box. With invisible reCAPTCHA, you do not even have to tick\nthis box \u2013 the entire detection process is automatically running in the\nbackground. Google isn\u2019t very forthcoming when it comes to answering the\nquestion regarding how much data, and what kind of, is stored by them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nfollowing cookies are used by reCAPTCHA: we are referring to the demo version\nof reCAPTCHA by Google, which can be found at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api2\/demo\">https:\/\/www.google.com\/recaptcha\/api2\/demo<\/a>.
