Once the purpose for which the data was collected has been fully completed, your data will be blocked for further use and deleted after the tax and commercial law retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to further use.

3. Cookies
Cookies are small files that allow specific device-related information to be stored on the user’s access device (PC, smartphone, etc.). They serve to enhance the usability of websites and therefore benefit the users (e.g., storage of login data). They are also used to collect statistical data on website usage and analyze it to improve the offering. Users can influence the use of cookies. Most browsers have an option to limit or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, please note that without cookies, the usability and, in particular, the user experience may be limited.
You can manage many online advertising cookies from companies through the US site http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU site http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/.
4. Use of Facebook Social Plugins
This website uses social plugins (“Plugins”) from the social network Facebook, operated by Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (“Facebook”). The plugins are identifiable by one of the Facebook logos (a white “f” on a blue tile or a “thumbs up” icon) or are labeled with the “Facebook Social Plugin” designation. You can view the list and appearance of Facebook Social Plugins here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/.
When a user visits a website of this offering that contains such a plugin, their browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted by Facebook directly to the user’s browser and integrated into the website. Therefore, the provider has no control over the extent of the data that Facebook collects with the help of this plugin and informs the users accordingly to their knowledge level:
By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that a user has accessed the corresponding page of the offering. If the user is logged in to Facebook, Facebook can associate the visit with their Facebook account. If users interact with the plugins, for example by pressing the Like button or leaving a comment, the corresponding information is transmitted from their browser directly to Facebook and stored there. If a user is not a member of Facebook, there is still the possibility that Facebook will identify and store their IP address. According to Facebook, only an anonymized IP address is stored in Germany.
For the purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as the relevant rights and settings options for protecting the privacy of users, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy: https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/.
If a user is a Facebook member and does not want Facebook to collect data about them via this offering and link it to their Facebook membership data, they must log out of Facebook before visiting the website.
It is also possible to block Facebook social plugins with add-ons for your browser, such as the “Facebook Blocker”.
5. +1 Button from Google+
This website uses the “+1” button from the social network Google Plus, operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, United States (“Google”). The button is recognizable by the “+1” sign on a white or colored background.
When a user visits a website of this offering that contains such a button, the browser establishes a direct connection to Google’s servers. The content of the “+1” button is transmitted by Google directly to the user’s browser and integrated into the website. The provider has no influence on the extent of the data that Google collects with the button. According to Google, no personal data is collected without clicking on the button. Only logged-in members’ data, including the IP address, is collected and processed.
The purpose and scope of data collection and further processing and use of the data by Google, as well as the relevant rights and settings options for protecting your privacy, can be found in Google’s privacy policy on the “+1” button: http://www.google.com/intl/en/+/policy/+1button.html and the FAQ: http://www.google.com/intl/en/+1/button/.
6. Twitter
This offering uses buttons from the Twitter service. These buttons are provided by Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. They are identifiable by terms such as “Twitter” or “Follow,” combined with a stylized blue bird. These buttons make it possible to share a post or page of this offering on Twitter or follow the provider on Twitter.
When a user visits a website of this online presence that contains such a button, their browser establishes a direct connection with Twitter’s servers. The content of the Twitter button is transmitted directly to the user’s browser by Twitter. The provider has no influence on the extent of the data that Twitter collects via this plugin and informs users according to their knowledge level. According to this, only the user’s IP address and the URL of the respective website are transmitted when the button is obtained, but not for other purposes than displaying the button.
