Server Data
For technical reasons, data such as the following, which your internet browser transmits to us or to our web space provider (so called server log files), is collected: - type and version of the browser you use - operating system - websites that linked you to our site (referrer URL) - websites that you visit - date and time of your visit - your Internet Protocol (IP) address. This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal information you may have provided, thereby making it impossible to connect it to any particular person. The data is used for statistical purposes in order to improve our website and services.

In such event, information provided by the user is stored for the purpose of facilitating communications with the user. No data is transferred to third parties.

Matomo
We use the Matomo web analysis service Matomo to analyse the usage of our website, and to be able to improve it on a regular basis. The statistics gleaned enable us to improve our offer and design it so that it is more interesting for you as user. For this purpose cookies are saved on your system. The information collected in this manner is only saved by us on our servers in Germany or another member state of the European Union. The information will not be passed on to a third party.

Matomo is set up in such a way so that the IP addresses are not saved in their complete form, but are shortened by the last two bytes so that it is no longer possible to match up the abbreviated IP address with the system calling up.

The legal basis for using Matomo is your consent and this means Art. 6 Para 1 a GDPR [DSGVO].

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our purposes. This will be the case after 6 months.

You may delete the cookies in your browser settings at any time. There you can also block cookies as a matter of principle.

Moreover, users have the option of objecting to their data being recorded by Matomo and to prevent it. For this we are providing users of our website with the option to opt out of the analysis procedure. Under the point ‟Cookies” you can revoke your consent by clicking on "Change your consent".

OpenStreetMap is used in the interests of presenting our online offers so that they are appealing and are easy to find at places indicated by us on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 Para 1 f GDPR [DSGVO].
