Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option to limit or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, it is noted that the use and especially the convenience of use without cookies may be restricted.

General Use
The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Where personal data (such as name, address, or email address) is collected on our pages, it is always done on a voluntary basis where possible. These data will not be disclosed to third parties without your explicit consent.

Please note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

We hereby expressly object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation by third parties for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Facebook Plugins (e.g., Like Button)
Our website integrates plugins of the social network Facebook (Facebook Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California, 94025, USA). You can recognize Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the "Like-Button" ("Gefällt mir") on our site. An overview of Facebook plugins can be found here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.

When you visit our pages, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the plugin. Facebook thereby receives information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook "Like-Button" while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the contents of our pages to your Facebook profile. Facebook can then associate your visit to our site with your user account.
We point out that as the provider of the pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data and their use by Facebook. For more information, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy: http://de-de.facebook.com/policy.php.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

On behalf of the website operator, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services relating to website and internet usage for the website operator.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Google +1
Collection and sharing of information:
The Google +1 button allows you to publish information worldwide. Through the Google +1 button, you and other users receive personalized content from Google and its partners. Google stores both the information that you have given +1 for a piece of content and information about the page you were viewing when you clicked +1.
Your +1s may appear as notices along with your profile name and photo in Google services, such as in search results or in your Google profile, or elsewhere on websites and advertisements on the internet.

Google records information about your +1 activities to improve Google services for you and others.
To use the Google +1 button, you need a globally visible, public Google profile, which must at least contain the name chosen for the profile. This name is used across all Google services. In some cases, this name may also replace another name you have used when sharing content through your Google account.
The identity of your Google profile can be shown to users who know your email address or have other identifying information about you.

Use of collected information:
In addition to the purposes explained above, the information you provide will be used in accordance with Google's applicable privacy policies. Google may publish aggregated statistics about users' +1 activities or share them with users and partners, such as publishers, advertisers, or connected websites.

Privacy Policy for the Use of Twitter
Our website incorporates functions of the Twitter service. These functions are offered by Twitter Inc., 1355 Market St, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
By using Twitter and the "Re-Tweet" function, the websites you visit are linked to your Twitter account and disclosed to other users. This data is also transmitted to Twitter.
We point out that as the provider of the website, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data and their use by Twitter.
