The service uses “cookies” – text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymization applies to this website. The user’s IP address is shortened within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This shortening eliminates the personal reference to your IP address. As part of the agreement on the order data agreement that the website operator has concluded with Google Inc., the website operator uses the information collected to evaluate website usage and website activity and provides services related to internet usage.

You have the option of preventing the storage of cookies on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser. There is no guarantee that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.

You can also use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google Inc. and used by Google Inc. The following link leads you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

We use Google Maps

The component “Google Maps” from Google is used on this website.

Each time the Google Maps component is called up, Google places a cookie in order to process user settings and data when the page on which the Google Maps component is integrated is displayed. As a rule, this cookie is not deleted when the browser is closed, but expires after a certain time, unless you delete it manually beforehand.

If you do not consent to this processing of your data, you can deactivate the Google Maps service and prevent the transmission of data to Google in this way. To do this, you need to deactivate the Javascript function in your browser, but this may result in not all functions on this website working properly.
