We also collect product and version information about the browser and operating system of the computer used. Furthermore, we record the referring website from which our own site was accessed.

Use of cookies
Like many other websites, our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and that store certain settings and data for interacting with our website via your browser. A cookie usually contains the name of the domain from which the cookie file was sent, information about the age of the cookie and an alphanumeric identifier.
Cookies enable us to recognize a particular computer and to immediately make certain settings available. Cookies help us improve our website and offer you a better and an even more customized service. For technical reasons, the use of cookies is necessary to identify a registered user.
Depending on the content involved and storage time required, there are different types of cookies. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session” cookies, which are deleted when you close your browser window. In addition, there are some persistent cookies that we use to recognize you as a visitor. Many cookies originate directly from us; in addition, some individual cookies (third-party cookies) are also stored and evaluated by service providers.
Most browsers are set to automatically accept cookies, but you may deactivate the storage of cookies or set your browser so that it informs you as soon as cookies are sent. Please note that your use of our website may be restricted in some cases if you refuse the storage of cookies.
Cookie Consent
Please expand the item below to see full details and review your choice regarding cookies on this site.
Your choice regarding cookies on this site.
Google Analytics
For our website we use Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses cookies, which are text files that are placed on your computer and make it possible to analyze how you use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the United States and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, Google will shorten your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other countries party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and shortened there only in exceptional cases. 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 other services relating to website and Internet use. The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
You can prevent cookies from being stored on your computer by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser, but please note that if you do this, your use of the site may be impaired. You can also prevent Google from collecting and processing the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
Further information can be found at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en or https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en (general information on Google Analytics and data protection).

Matomo
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the usage of our website by website visitors. This allows us to determine, among other things, when which page views were made and from which region they came. We also collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers, and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).
All log files are processed anonymously so that they are no longer attributable to website visitors.
We have configured Matomo in such a way that it does not store any cookies in your browser and the analysis is therefore cookieless.
Meta Pixel
In the context of advertising on Facebook and Instagram, we use the so-called “Meta pixel” if you have consented to this. This is an analytics service provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as “Meta”). The “Meta pixel” is a JavaScript code and is integrated into the website to track the effectiveness of Meta adverts for statistical and market research purposes. This makes it possible to see when users have been redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook or Instagram advert and whether they have carried out a specified action there (e.g. sending contact forms or page views). This also allows us to define and target users of our website as a target group for the presentation of adverts (e.g. address users via adverts after they have visited our website). Meta collects the following information, among other things, through the integration: IP address, browser information and history, browsing time, cookie information, website history, age, gender, browser language setting.
The processing of your data in this context is only permitted with your consent. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. Meta states that it only stores the collected data for as long as is necessary for the respective purposes. For example, the “_fbp” cookie identifies browsers in order to provide analysis services for advertising and websites. It has a storage period of 90 days. Meta is certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF). Further information on this can be found at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list.
GeoIP Location Service
In order to provide you with a localized experience on our website, we use the IP2Location service to determine your country of origin based on your IP address. We collect and use your IP address for this purpose only. If you have a specific country set in your forceCountry cookie, we will use that country instead and not perform an IP-based location query.
Use of HubSpot for web analytics purposes
For the purpose of website analytics, this website uses technologies provided by Hubspot, Inc. (www.hubspot.com) to automatically collect and store data from which user profiles are created using pseudonyms. This serves, according to Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter f GDPR, to protect our legitimate interests in the optimized presentation of our offering that prove to be overriding following the balancing of interests. We may use cookies for this purpose. Once the purpose for the collection of data ceases to exist and Hubspot is no longer used, the data collected for that purpose are erased.
Hubspot, Inc. is headquartered in the USA and is certified to the EU-US Privacy Shield. You will see the up-to-date certificate under https://www.privacyshield.gov/list. Based on this agreement between the USA and the European Commission, the latter has recognized entities certified to the Privacy Shield as those ensuring an adequate level of data protection.
You may object to the collection and storage of data at any time with effect for the future, by storing an opt-out cookie on your end-user device or by using an appropriate browser plugin, e.g. Ghostery which suppresses the operation of the tool.

Wistia
Wistia is a service for hosting and embedding videos in websites. We use the Wistia Video Player to display and play videos. We use videos to provide information and entertainment to our visitors. Wistia collects data about video usage by the user such as how much of video was viewed, at what point was paused, rewound or skipped, how many videos and how often they were viewed. In doing so, Wisita uses cookies for user identification. Further logged data are IP address, device class (“desktop”, “mobile”), operating system, browser, embed URL (page on which the video is played), internet provider, location, region and country, session start time (date and time of the first video view per video).

To this extent, the information on the use of social media channels apply (see below).
We believe that, due to the protective measures taken (anonymization and the option to object), data processing for the optimization of our website is to be regarded as a legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with global privacy regulations.
