Data is collected from website visitors as part of the web hosting and as part of WebAnalytics, which is anonymised directly during collection. The data is determined either by a pixel or by a log file. To protect personal data, WebAnalytics does not use cookies. The visitor's IP is transmitted when a page request is made, anonymised directly after transmission and processed without reference to a person. The following data is collected:

• Referrer (previously visited website)
• Requested website or file
• Browser type and version
• Operating system used
• Type of device used
• Time of access
• IP address in anonymised form (only used to determine the location of the access)

This data is collected to ensure the security and stability of the website and to provide website visitors with the highest possible level of quality. In WebAnalytics, data is collected exclusively for statistical evaluation and technical optimisation of the website. The data is stored directly and exclusively accessible to administrators for a maximum of eight weeks. This data is not passed on to third parties and there is no transfer of this data to third countries outside the EU.

If you do not want referrer data to be collected when you visit this website, you can prevent this by installing an appropriate browser add-on. Alternatively, depending on the browser used, you can also permanently deactivate the referrer function in the settings of your browser.

The security of your personal data is important to us. A comprehensive data protection agreement has been concluded with the service provider used for the website.

Apart from the constellations already mentioned in the data protection information: We do not make your personal data available to third parties unless you have given your consent to do so or we are legally obliged to disclose the data. Data that has been logged when accessing the website or that has been collected for a special service will only be passed on to third parties if we are obliged to do so by law or by judicial or prosecutorial order or if the passing on is necessary for legal or criminal prosecution in the event of attacks on the internet infrastructure.
