6. Plugins and tools
Google Maps (with consent)
This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To ensure data protection on our website, Google Maps is deactivated when you first visit our website. A direct connection to Google's servers is only established when you activate Google Maps yourself (consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). This prevents your data from being transferred to Google when you first visit the site.
After activation, Google Maps will store your IP address. This is then usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer after Google Maps has been activated.
For more information on the handling of user data, please refer to Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Use of Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses "cookies," which are text files placed 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 is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, due to the activation of IP anonymization on these websites, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states 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 truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services relating to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser software; 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 data generated by the cookie and collected by Google from being stored or, as an alternative to the browser add-on, you can prevent Google Analytics from tracking you on our pages by clicking this link. An opt-out cookie will be installed on your device. This will prevent Google Analytics from collecting data for this website and for this browser in the future, as long as the cookie remains installed in your browser.

Use of Google Remarketing
This website uses the remarketing function of Google Inc. The function is used to present interest-based advertisements to website visitors within the Google advertising network. A so-called "cookie" is stored in the browser of the website visitor, which makes it possible to recognize the visitor when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these pages, visitors can be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the visitor has previously viewed on websites that use Google's remarketing function.
According to Google, no personal data is collected during this process. If you do not want Google's remarketing function, you can deactivate it by adjusting the settings at http://www.google.com/settings/ads. Alternatively, you can deactivate the use of cookies for interest-based advertising via the Advertising Network Initiative by following the instructions at http://www.networkadvertising.org/managing/opt_out.aspfolgen.

Social pluginsOur
websites use social plugins from the providers listed below. You can recognize the plugins by the corresponding logo. These plugins
may send information, which may include personal data, to the service provider and may be used by them. We prevent the unconscious and unwanted collection and transfer of data to the service provider by means of a 2-click solution. To activate a desired social plugin, it must first be activated by clicking on the corresponding button. Only when the plugin is activated will the collection of information and its transfer to the service provider be triggered. We do not collect any personal data ourselves via the social plugins or through their use.
We have no influence on what data an activated plugin collects and how it is used by the provider. Currently, it must be assumed that a direct connection to the provider's services is established and that at least the IP address and device-related information are collected and used. It is also possible that the service providers may attempt to store cookies on the computer being used. Please refer to the privacy policy of the respective service provider for details on what specific data is collected and how it is used. Note: If you are logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook can identify you as a visitor to a specific page.
