Data protection and privacy policy

To protect our website infrastructure against unauthorised access and for the statistical analysis of the number of visitors on our website as well as for marketing and optimisation purposes data is recorded and saved automatically.

  • IP address of the accessing device
  • browser type and version
  • operating system used
  • visited page(s)
  • referrer URL
  • date and time

This data is aggregated and can therefore not be linked to individual persons. An evaluation takes place for the analysis of and the protection against third-party attacks on our infrastructure as well as the statistical analysis of the number of visitors. We do not use the data beyond these purposes. The data is not combined with other data sources. Beyond that, we do not forward data to third parties, neither within nor outside the European Union.

In addition, data can be saved to the website user’s computer. Known as «cookies», these data have the purpose of simplifying access to certain items of content. The user can, however, deactivate this function in their browser, although this may in certain circumstances lead to restrictions to the functionality of our website.

Analytics services

This website uses the web analytics service Matomo (formerly Piwik). It uses so-called "cookies", which are text files that are saved on your computer that enable us to analyse your use of the website. The user information generated by the cookie (including your truncated IP address) will be transmitted to the server at our web hosting provider and saved there for usage analysis purposes. Your IP address is anonymised immediately so that you remain anonymous to us as an individual user. Information on your website usage that is generated by the cookie will not be passed on to any third party. You may prevent the use of cookies by making a corresponding adjustment to your browser settings.

Should you not agree to the aggregation and analysis of the data generated by your visit, you may revoke this hereinafter with a click of the mouse at any time. In such cases, a so-called opt-out cookie is created and stored on your computer and Matomo will gather no session information whatsoever. Attention: if you later delete your cookies, this will also delete the opt-out cookie, which then may need to be activated once again.

Google Maps

On our homepage, we use "Google Maps", a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as "Google", in order to provide you with information about the geographical location of our agency.

Google sets a cookie in order to process the user configuration and data when the page with the integrated “Google Maps” service is displayed. As a general rule, this cookie is not deleted by closing the browser, but rather expires after a certain time, as long as it is not previously manually deleted by you.

If you do not agree with this processing of your data, you may choose to deactivate the "Google Maps" service and thereby prevent the transfer of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate JavaScript in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use "Google Maps" as well as several features of our website or at least only to a limited extent.

The use of "Google Maps" and the information obtained through "Google Maps" is according to Google’s Terms of Use: https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=en&gl=de and the the additional Terms and Conditions for "Google Maps" https://www.google.com/intl/en_de/help/terms_maps.html as well as the Google Privacy Policy https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en&gl=de.

Duration of data retention

The data stored in the server log files are stored by our web hosting provider for a maximum of 7 days before they are anonymised. Data whose further retention is necessary for evidentiary purposes are exempt from anonymisation until the incident has been finally clarified. We as website operator only have access to anonymised user data. Server logs are stored for a period of five years and then deleted.

Data that are gathered, anonymised and stored with Matomo are kept for an indefinite period of time.
