Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred to your hard drive by a website server. This automatically gives us certain data such as IP address, browser type, operating system and your connection to the internet. Cookies cannot be used to start programs or transfer viruses to a computer.

Use of script libraries (Google Web Fonts)

In order to present our content correctly and graphically appealing across browsers, we use script libraries and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache to avoid multiple loading. If the browser does not support Google Web Fonts or prevents access, the content is displayed in a standard font. Calling up script libraries or font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. It is theoretically possible - but currently also unclear whether and, if so, for what purposes - that operators of such libraries collect data.

Newsletter

For our newsletter dispatch, we use the program Acymailing. If you want to receive the newsletter, we need your e-mail address. A verification of the given e-mail address is necessary and you have to agree to receive the newsletter. The data will be used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The data entered will be stored in our content management system.

Data entered to set up the subscription will be deleted when you unsubscribe. If these data have been transmitted to us for other purposes and elsewhere, they will remain with us.

With the help of newsletter software Acymailing we can analyse our newsletter campaigns. When you open the email sent with Acymailing, a file contained in the email, a so-called web beacon, connects to the server of Acymailing. We can thus determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked on. In addition, information such as the time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system is recorded. This information cannot be assigned to the respective newsletter recipient, since the IP address is partially anonymized. The data is used exclusively for statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. This enables us to better adapt our future newsletters to the interests of the recipients. If you do not want to receive analysis by Acymailing, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide an unsubscribe link in every newsletter message.
