a) Cookies
We use cookies at various places on our website.
Cookies are small identifiers that a server stores on the terminal device with which you access our website or our services. They contain information that can be called up when accessing our services and thus enable a more efficient and better use of our offers.

Cookies serve to improve our services and the use of certain features. You can prevent the setting of cookies at any time by means of an appropriate setting of your Internet browser and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If you deactivate the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Every time you visit a website on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser is automatically prompted to transmit data to Google.

Google AdWords:
The operator of Google AdWords services is Google Inc 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. If you access our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on your browser by Google. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used for identification. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to determine whether certain sub-pages have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables us and Google to track whether our visitors have reached our website via an AdWords ad.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is therefore used to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither we nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could identify our website visitors. No personal data is transmitted to Google. The IP address we collect is only forwarded to Google after it has been made anonymous.
You have the opportunity to object to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, you must call the link support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922 and make the required settings there. Further information and Google's current privacy policy can be found at www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/

In order to conclude a contract, it may sometimes be necessary for you to provide us with personal data, which we will subsequently have to process. For example, you are obliged to provide us with personal data when we conclude a contract with you. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded.
