The data collected in this way is also not compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website.

We offer you the opportunity to leave comments on individual posts on our website. The IP address of the author/connection owner is stored.

The data collected in this way is also not compared with data that may be collected by other components of our website.

Use of Google Analytics with anonymization function

We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as Google, on our website. Google Analytics uses cookies, text files stored on your computer, which enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by these cookies, such as the time, location and frequency of your website visits, including your IP address, is transmitted to Google in the USA and stored there.

We use Google Analytics with an IP anonymization function on our website. In this case, your IP address will be shortened and thus anonymized by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

Google will use this information to evaluate your use of our website, to compile reports on website activity for us and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where third parties process the data on Google's behalf.

According to Google, under no circumstances will your IP address be associated with other data held by Google. You may prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of our website to their full extent.

Furthermore, Google offers a deactivation option for the most common browsers, which gives you more control over which data is collected and processed by Google. If you activate this option, no information about your website visit will be sent to Google Analytics. However, activation does not prevent information from being sent to us or to other web analysis services we may use. You can find more information about the deactivation option provided by Google and how to activate this option via the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Use of Google recommendation components

We use the 1 button provided by Google , a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as Google, on our website. Each time you access our website that is equipped with such a 1 component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from Google. This process informs Google which specific page of our website is currently being visited. According to Google, no further analysis of your visit is carried out if you are not logged into your Google account.

If you visit our site while logged in to Google, Google can collect information about your Google account, the website you recommend, your IP address and other browser-related information when you click the 1 button.

This means that your 1 recommendation can be saved and made publicly available. Your Google 1 recommendation can then be displayed as a reference together with your account name and, if applicable, with your photo stored with Google in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google account or elsewhere, such as on websites and advertisements on the Internet. Furthermore, Google can link your visit to our site with your data stored with Google. Google also records this information in order to further improve Google services.

If you want to prevent the aforementioned collection by Google as best as possible, you must log out of your Google account before visiting our website.

You can access Google's privacy policy for the 1 button with all further information on the collection, transfer and use of data by Google, your rights in this regard and your profile setting options here: https://developers.google.com/ /web/buttons-policy

Use of Google Maps with recommendation components

We use the "Google Maps" component on our website in combination with the so-called "Share function". "Google Maps" is a service provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as Google. Each time this component is called up, Google sets a cookie in order to process user settings and data when the page on which the "Google Maps" component is integrated is displayed. This cookie is not usually deleted when the browser is closed, but expires after a certain time unless you delete it manually beforehand. If you do not agree to this processing of your data, you have the option of deactivating the "Google Maps" service and thus preventing the transmission of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use "Google Maps" or will only be able to use it to a limited extent.

The use of "Google Maps" and the information obtained via "Google Maps" is subject to the Google Terms of Use http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html and the additional terms and conditions for Google Maps https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html

The Google Maps function also contains the following recommendation buttons:

“Google button” of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA;

“Facebook button” from Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA;

“Twitter button” from Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA.

When you access the "Google Maps" page, these recommendation components cause the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from the respective provider. This informs the respective provider - named above - which specific page of our website you are currently visiting.

If you are logged into your respective personal account with the above-mentioned providers at the time you access the "Google Maps" page, they can record the information thus obtained about the website you recommend, as well as your IP address and other browser-related information, and link it to your respective account.

If you want to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behavior on our website by the respective provider, you must log out of these providers before visiting our site.

You can find out more about the data collection of the respective providers via the following links:

Use of reCAPTCHA

To protect input forms on our website, we use the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter referred to as Google.

To the best of our knowledge, the referrer URL, the IP address, the behavior of website visitors, information about the operating system, browser and length of stay, cookies, display instructions and scripts, the user's input behavior and mouse movements in the area of the reCAPTCHA checkbox are transmitted to Google.

Google uses the information obtained in this way, among other things, to digitize books and other printed matter and to optimize services such as Google Street View and Google Maps (e.g. house number and street name recognition).

The IP address transmitted as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other data from Google, unless you are logged into your Google account at the time you use the reCAPTCHA plug-in. If you want to prevent Google from transmitting and storing data about you and your behavior on our website, you must log out of Google before visiting our site or using the reCAPTCHA plug-in.
