Usage data on the website

When you visit our website, you transmit data to our web server via your Internet browser (due to technical necessity). The following data is recorded during an ongoing connection for communication between your Internet browser and our web server:

• Date and time of the request
• Name of the file requested
• Page from which the file was requested
• Access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.)

For technical security reasons, in particular to defend against attempts to attack our web server, we store this data for a short period of time. We cannot draw any conclusions about individual persons from this data. After no more than 30 days, the data is anonymized by shortening the IP address to domain level so that it is no longer possible to establish a connection to the individual user. The data is also processed in anonymized form for statistical purposes; it is not compared with other data sets or passed on to third parties, even in excerpts.

This website uses Google Maps, a map service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), based on the consent of the website visitors. If you have consented to the use of Google Maps, Google may set “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie is usually transferred to a Google server in the US and stored there.

This website uses its own “cookies” to store settings required for the display of the website (“cookies” are data records that are sent from the web server to the user’s browser and stored there for later retrieval).
