With every access to this offer, information is automatically collected by us or the web space provider. This information, also known as server log files, is of a general nature and does not allow any conclusions about your person. Among other things the following information is recorded Name of the website, file, date, amount of data, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your internet provider, the so-called referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our offer) and the IP address. Without this data, it would be technically impossible to deliver and display the contents of the website. In this respect the collection of data is absolutely necessary. Furthermore, we use the anonymous information for statistical purposes. They help us to optimise our offer and technology. We also reserve the right to subsequently check the log files if we suspect that our offer is being used illegally.

In order for these data to be called up and displayed in the user's browser, it is absolutely necessary to transmit the IP address. The providers (hereinafter referred to as "third party providers") thus perceive the IP address of the respective user.

This website uses the online advertising programme "Google AdWords" and, within the framework of this, conversion tracking.

Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. As a result, cookies cannot be tracked through the websites of AdWords customers.

The customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag.
