If you have given your

contract with you, which we present in the following description of the functions.

reasons based on which we continue the processing.

Social Media
We provide you with
links to social media platforms (such as XING) in various sections of our
website. You can recognize them by the logo of the respective social media
provider. When you use our website, no personal data is initially passed on to
the providers of social media platforms. Only when you click on these links
will you be redirected to the website of the respective social media provider
and then transmit personal data to the provider. You are thereupon leaving our
website and we have no influence on the data collected and data processing
processes, nor are we aware of the full scope of data collection, purposes or
storage periods.
If you click on such a
link, the social media provider receives the information that you have accessed
the corresponding subpage of our online service. In addition, the data
specified in the section “Collection of personal data for informational use” of
this declaration will be transmitted. This occurs regardless of whether you
have an account with this social media provider and are logged in there. If you
are logged in to the social media provider, this data is directly associated
with your account.
The social media
provider stores the personal data as a usage profile and uses it for the
purposes of advertising, market research and/or the needs-based design of its
website. Such an analysis is carried out in particular (also for users who are
not logged in) in order to display targeted 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 this user profile, whereby you must contact
the respective social media provider to exercise this right.
Further information on
the purpose and scope of the data collection and its processing by the social
media provider can be found in the following privacy policies of these
providers. There you will also find further information on your rights in this
regard and the setting options to protect your privacy.

13. Content
Delivery Networks
This website uses
Content Delivery Networks (CDN) to display the content of the website more
efficiently (legal basis is Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR). CDNs speed up the loading
time of common JavaScript libraries and fonts, as the files used are
transferred from fast, nearby or underutilized servers. Among other things, the
IP address of the user is transmitted to the provider of the CDN service.
You can prevent the
collection and processing of your data by CDN providers by disabling the execution
of script code in your browser or by installing a script blocker in your
browser (this can be found, for example, at www.noscript.net or
www.ghostery.com).
We use the following
CDN providers on our website:

Cloudflare operates
servers in the EU, but it cannot be ruled out that servers outside the EU,

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by
Google Ireland Ltd. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text
files stored on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the
site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website will
generally be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United
States. However, if IP anonymization is enabled on this website, Google will
truncate your IP address beforehand within member states of the European Union
or other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only
in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in
the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google
will use this information to analyze your use of the website, to compile
reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website
activity and internet usage to the website operator.
The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics
is not combined with other data from Google.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings
on your browser; however, please note that if you do this you may not be able
to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the
collection by Google of the data generated by the cookie and related to your
use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data
by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the
following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
You can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on the
following link. An opt-out cookie is set to prevent your data from being
collected in the future when you visit this website: Disable Google Analytics
Please note that if you disable all cookies, opt-out cookies will also
be removed.
This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”.
This means that IP addresses are further processed in a truncated form, thus excluding
the possibility of direct reference to an individual. If the data collected
about you is personalized, this is therefore immediately excluded and the
personal data is immediately deleted.
We use Google Analytics to analyze and regularly improve the use of our
website. The statistics obtained will enable us to improve our services and
make them more interesting for you as a user. (Legal basis for the use of
Google Analytics is Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR)
