Every time you access a page of the operator and each time a file is retrieved, data about this process can be stored.

2.1. Storage in log files
Each time a user accesses this website and each time a file is retrieved, data about this process is stored in a log file. These data are not personally identifiable. The operator can therefore not tell which user has retrieved which data. Specifically, the following dataset is stored on each retrieval: Name of the file opened - The date and time when this happened - Amount of data transferred - Message regarding whether or not this was successful - IP address - Browser type - Browser version - Operating system - Referrer URL.

2.2. Use of cookies
To improve the quality of the offering, the operator uses cookies with which your usage data can be collected and processed. Cookies are small files which make it easier for you to use the online offerings. Your internet browser receives these files automatically from the operator's server and saves the cookies on your computer. Cookies are text files which are stored on your computer. The cookies allow the recognition of your internet browser and allow your usage of the website to be analysed. The operator uses two types of cookies, so-called session cookies and permanent cookies. The operator sends a session cookie to your computer when you use the website. The use of the website is thereby made easier and faster for you. When you log out or close your browser, this cookie is deleted and no longer has any effect. The operator also uses a permanent cookie. The data contained in this cookie are encrypted and therefore cannot be read by third-parties. You can delete the cookies saved on your computer at any time yourself. You can also set up your browser so that you are informed before accepting cookies or so that it does not accept cookies. Please note, however, that in this case you may not be able to completely use all the functions of this website.

2.3. Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called 'cookies', text files that are stored on your computer that enable the analysis of your use of the website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities for website operators and to provide other services related to website and internet use. Google may also pass this information on to third parties in so far as this is required by law or if third parties process the data on Google's behalf. Google will under no circumstances associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser. Please note, however, that in this case you can not use all features of this website to their full extent. By using this website you agree to the processing of data about you by Google in the manner described above and for the aforementioned purpose. The collection and storage of data may at any time be excluded for the future by using the following additional program http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. In view of the discussion about the use of analysis tools with complete IP addresses, the operator points out that the website uses Google Analytics with the "_anonymizeIp()" extension and therefore all IP addresses are only further processed in shortened form, to prevent direct personal identification of the data.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and its further processing and use of the data by Google as well as your rights and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in Google's data protection information about the "+1" button: http://www.google.com/intl/de/+/policy/+1button.html. If you are a GooglePlus member and do not want Google to collect data about you via this website and link it with your membership data stored at Google, you should logout of Google Plus before visiting this website.
