Google Tag Manager

This website also uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution that allows marketers to manage website tags through one interface. The Tag Manager tool itself (which implements the tags) is a cookieless domain. The tool takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation has been made at the domain or cookie level, it will remain in place for all tracking tags implemented with Google Tag Manager.

Use of social media plugins

(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: [Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Xing, T3N, LinkedIn, Flattr]. We use the so-called two-click solution. This means that when you visit our site, no personal data is initially passed on to the providers of the plug-ins. You can recognize the provider of the plug-in via the marking on the box above its initial letter or logo. We open up the possibility for you to communicate directly with the provider of the plug-in via the button. Only if you click on the marked box and thereby activate it, the plug-in provider receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding website of our online offer. In addition, the data mentioned under § 3 of this declaration is transmitted. In the case of Facebook and Xing, according to the respective providers in Germany, the IP address is anonymized immediately after collection. By activating the plug-in, personal data is therefore transmitted from you to the respective plug-in provider and stored there (in the case of US providers, in the USA). Since the plug-in provider collects the data in particular via cookies, we recommend that you delete all cookies via your browser's security settings before clicking on the grayed-out box.

(2) We have no influence on the collected data and data processing operations, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, the purposes of processing, the storage periods. We also have no information on the deletion of the collected data by the plug-in provider.

(3) The plug-in provider stores the data collected about you as usage profiles and uses them for purposes of advertising, market research and/or demand-oriented design of its website. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular (also for users who are not logged in) for the display of needs-based advertising and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have the right to object to the creation of these user profiles, whereby you must contact the respective plug-in provider to exercise this right. Via the plug-ins, we offer you the opportunity to interact with the social networks and other users, so that we can improve our offer and make it more interesting for you as a user. The legal basis for the use of the plug-ins is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

(4) The data transfer takes place regardless of whether you have an account with the plug-in provider and are logged in there. If you are logged in to the plug-in provider, your data collected from us will be directly assigned to your account with the plug-in provider. If you click the activated button and link to the page, for example, the plug-in provider also saves this information in your user account and shares it publicly with your contacts. We recommend that you log out regularly after using a social network, but especially before activating the button, as this allows you to avoid an assignment to your profile with the plug-in provider.

(5) For further information on the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the plug-in provider, please refer to the data protection declarations of these providers provided below. There you will also receive further information on your rights in this regard and setting options for protecting your privacy.

Plista tracking

Our website is supported by a technology of the company plista GmbH, Torstraße 33, 10119 Berlin. With the help of this technology, we would like to increase the quality and relevance of our ads by tracking whether and which of our ads lead to success with the end customer (so-called conversion tracking) or which ads are clicked on by end customers (so-called click tracking). After clicking on one of our ads, plista sets a temporary cookie in the browser of the respective customer, which assigns a counting point as soon as the customer has reached the target page. For more information on this and plista's data protection, please visit https://www.plista.com/de/about/privacy/.

Outbrain Pixel

This website uses a technology of Outbrain Inc. (a company incorporated under the laws of Delaware, USA, with headquarters in New York) for conversion tracking. Outbrain collects the IP address and user agent data when a publisher first visits the website and assigns the user a unique identifier ("Unique User Identifier (UUID)") that identifies each reader by browser or device. The UUID represents a sequence of digits and/or letters and is associated with a reader's device/browser (i.e., Outbrain does not currently store cross-device or cross-browser information). The captured IP address is anonymized using best practices, translated into a geo-location, and subsequently the last octet is removed. In the user profile, Outbrain aggregates user interactions (e.g., page visits and clicks) from that browser/device to derive UUID preferences. There is no sharing of Outbrain end user data with third parties. For compliance with the GDPR, Outbrain has extended its existing compliance framework for processing personal data.

Upon user request, Outbrain will disable personalization tracking. A link to the privacy policy and the deactivation button can be found at https://www.outbrain.com/legal/privacy#privacy-policy.
