It is processed in particular for the following purposes: - ensuring a problem-free connection to the website, - ensuring smooth use of our website, - evaluating system security and stability, and - optimising our website.

Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the users' IP addresses are anonymised so that it is no longer possible to identify the accessing client. ### Whether provision is mandatory or required: The provision of the aforementioned personal data is neither required by law nor by contract. Without the IP address, however, the service and functionality of our website cannot be guaranteed. In addition, individual services may be unavailable or restricted.

To do so, please send an email to the data protection officer or the person responsible for data protection listed below, providing the link to your comment and, for identification purposes, the email address used when the comment was created. ### Whether provision is mandatory or required: The provision of your personal data is voluntary.

Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies", i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, because IP anonymisation has been activated on these websites, your IP address will first be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transferred to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. Further information on the terms of use and data protection can be found at . On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services relating to website and internet use. The data sent by us and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g. user ID) or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is deleted automatically once a month. ### Withdrawal of consent: You can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our website by clicking this link. This installs an opt-out cookie on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and this browser in future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser. You can also prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting the settings of your browser software accordingly; however, please note that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent.

The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you have reached our website via an advertisement placed by Google, Google AdWords will place a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an advertisement placed by Google. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can recognise that the user clicked on the advertisement and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies therefore cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained using the conversion cookie is used to compile conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their advertisement and were redirected to a page bearing a conversion tracking tag.

The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter "Google"). The purpose of this function is to present website visitors with interest-based advertisements within the Google advertising network. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the website visitor's browser, which makes it possible to recognise the visitor when they access websites that belong to Google's advertising network. On these pages, the visitor may be presented with advertisements relating to content that the visitor previously accessed on websites that use Google's remarketing function.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. ### Recipient of an objection Benjamin Fröhlich Steinstraße 5 - 7 20095 Hamburg ## Changes to our privacy policy We reserve the right to amend this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or in order to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services.
