For an effective registration, we need a valid e-mail address. To verify that the registration is actually carried out by the owner of a specific e-mail address, we use the “double opt-in” procedure. For this purpose, we record the placement of an order for the newsletter, the sending of a confirmation e-mail and the receipt of the requested response. No further data is collected. The data is only used for sending out newsletters and is not passed on to third parties.
You can at any time revoke your consent to the storage of your personal data and to its use for the purpose of sending out newsletters. Each newsletter contains a link for unsubscribing.

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (hereinafter called Google). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, i.e. text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie on your use of this website is usually transmitted to a Google Server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these web pages, your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use that data to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services connected to website and internet usage to the website operator. Google will not combine the IP address that is transmitted by your browser within the context of Google Analytics with other data.
You can prevent the storage of cookies by changing the settings of your browser software accordingly; however, we must point out that if you do, you may not be able to make full use of all the features of this website. You can also prevent the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) from being collected and processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: Browser add-on for disabling Google Analytics.
In addition, or as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent tracking by Google Analytics on our pages by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will thereby be installed on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data on this website and this browser in the future, for as long as the cookie remains installed on your browser.
We embed YouTube videos on some of our web pages. The operator of the corresponding plugin is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA. When you visit a page equipped with the YouTube plugin, a connection to YouTube servers is established. YouTube is thereby informed of which pages you visit. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can assign your browsing habits to you personally. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand.
Whenever a YouTube video is started, the provider deploys cookies to collect information on user habits.
If you disable the storage of cookies for the Google Ad program, such cookies will not be stored even when you are watching YouTube videos. However, YouTube also stores non-personal usage information in other cookies. If you wish to prevent this, you must block the storage of cookies on the browser.
Our website uses Google conversion tracking. If you have reached our website via an ad placed by Google, Google Adwords will set a cookie on your computer. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google-enabled ad. These cookies lose their validity after 30 days and cannot be used to identify you personally. If the user visits certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, we and Google can see that the user has clicked on the ad and was redirected to this page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot be tracked through AdWords customer websites. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers can see the total number of users who have clicked on their ad and were forwarded to a page that carries a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users.
If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can reject the setting of a cookie necessary for tracking – for example, by setting your browser to disable the automatic setting of cookies or by setting your browser so as to block cookies from the domain “googleleadservices.com”.
Please note that you must not delete the opt-out cookies if you do not wish measurement data to be recorded. If you have deleted all your cookies in your browser, you must set the relevant opt-out cookie again.
