Statistics
This website uses the following analysis tools for statistical evaluation of visitor access. The purpose of data collection and analysis is to optimize and maintain our website.
With these tools superficial statistics about the visitors of a website can be created. For example, it is possible to record how many visitors have called up a particular page and what proportion of them use which browser and come via the mobile version.
WP statistics
WP-Statistics is a product of the development team VeronaLabs.
The statistics of WP-Statistics are based on the data that are necessarily transmitted for the connection between the Web browser and the Web server (see Log Data). WP Statistics does not use a cookie.
The protection of your privacy and personal data is a priority when using WP Statistics. WP Statistics itself does not collect any other visitor data. Instead, WP Statistics anonymizes IP addresses of visitors before storing them. It is therefore not possible to personally identify a visitor, even retrospectively.
Matamo
The statistics of Matomo are stored in house. An essential cookie is used. For connection establishment, browser, country, city and visited pages are stored if possible.
User data is not collected. IP addresses are made anonymous.
(1) Our website uses “Google Web Fonts”, a service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as: “Google”). Google Web Fonts enables us to use external fonts, so-called Google Fonts. When you open a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache to display texts and fonts correctly. This is necessary so that your browser can display a visually improved presentation of our texts. If your browser does not support this feature, a default font will be used by your computer. The integration of these web fonts is done by a server call, usually a Google server in the USA. The page of our website you have visited will be transmitted to the server. Also, the IP address of the browser of the terminal of the visitor of Google is stored.
(2) We use Google Web Fonts for optimization purposes to improve the use of our website for you and to make its design more user-friendly.
(3) This constitutes a justified interest pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
(4) Google has submitted to the Privacy Shield Agreement concluded between the European Union and the USA and certified itself. By doing so, Google undertakes to comply with the standards and regulations of European data protection law.

Social Media Plugins
On our websites, the following plugins of the social networks are integrated.
You can recognize the plugins by the company logos, “Share-Button” or the “Like-Button” on our website.
When you visit our website, the plugins will establish a direct connection between your browser and the servers of the respective providers, even if you do not have a social media profile or are not logged in to one of the social media networks. The content of the plug-in is directly transferred by the respective provider to your browser and integrated into the website by it. We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that the respective provider collects with the help of this plugin.
This information (including your IP address) is directly transferred from your browser to a server in the USA. If you interact with the plugins, for example, by clicking on the “Like” button or making a comment, this information is also directly transferred to a social network server and stored there.
In order to ensure greater protection of your data when visiting our website, these buttons are only loaded as plugins if you have given us your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR.
If you do not wish the social networks to be able to assign visits to our page, you can object to the loading of the social media plug-ins by Sharethis and thus the data processing processes described above by objecting to this use via our cookie banner.
The social networks mentioned here, which are based in the USA, are certified for the US-European data protection agreement “Privacy Shield”, which guarantees compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
