Such a "session cookie" is automatically removed when you close your browser. Please refer to the following information to find out which cookies are used, what data are stored and for what purpose they are used.

Use of third-party services - technical functionality and information

Google reCAPTCHA

We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter referred to as "reCAPTCHA") on our websites. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA ("Google"). The purpose of reCAPTCHA is to check whether the data input on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website by the website visitor or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.

Data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and SPAM.

Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google's privacy policy can be found at the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.

By collecting the data, we are able to provide our interested parties with a functioning and user-friendly service. For this purpose, we forward the e-mail address and name you provide to the company.

Newsletters that are sent via Cleverreach are provided with a so-called "web-beacon" by the service. This is a file that is retrieved when the newsletter is opened and provides the company with information about your email client and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of retrieval. It also records whether a newsletter is opened at all and whether links from it are used. This data is also used exclusively to improve the Cleverreach service.

Use of third-party services - social media

Our company is also represented on Facebook, Twitter and Xing. To give you the opportunity to network with us there, we have placed corresponding links to the social media platforms.

We display videos on our website using a YouTube plugin. YouTube is a Google service that we use on the basis of our legitimate interest in an appealing and customer-friendly functioning of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR. We only integrate YouTube videos in the so-called extended data protection mode. This means that no data is collected by Google when you simply access the website.
