In addition, cookies are stored on your computer during use of the website. Cookies are small text files stored in association with the browser you use on your hard disk, which cause certain information to flow to the location that sets the cookie (in this case, us). Cookies cannot run programs or deliver viruses to your computer. They are used to make internet service more user-friendly and effective on the whole.
a) This website uses cookies as follows:
b) Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. Session cookies belong to this group in particular. These store what is known as a Session ID, using which various requests by your browser can be assigned to the shared session. This way, your computer can be recognized when you return to the website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser.
c) Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a predetermined duration, which can vary depending on the cookie (max. 7 days). You can delete these cookies anytime in the security settings of your browser.
d) You can configure your browser settings as you wish and, e.g., refuse the acceptance of third-party or all cookies. Please note, however, that you then may not be able to use all the functions of this website.
e) Flash cookies used are not recorded by your browser, but by your Flash plug-in. These cookies store the necessary data regardless of the browser you are using and have no automatic expiration date. If you do not wish Flash cookies to be processed, you must install an appropriate add-on, e.g. “Better Privacy” for Mozilla Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/betterprivacy/), or the Adobe Flash cookie-killer for Google Chrome.
This information is stored separately from any data that may further be stored by us. In particular, the cookie data is not linked to your other data.
(1) To optimize our website, we use the web analysis service Piwik, which analyzes what visitors access on our website.
(2) We use Piwik in conformity with data protection: Analysis is done using by cookies (see point 2). Cookies collect information regarding your use of our website. This information is stored solely on our server in Germany. We use “AnonymizeIP”.

4.1. Use of Social Media Plug-ins
(1) We currently use the following social media plug-ins: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+.
(2) If you access a page containing this kind of plug-in, the browser establishes a connection with the servers of the social media provider and transmits the information that you accessed with the corresponding sub-page of our online service. In addition, the data specified under Point 1 of this declaration is transmitted, whereby, in the case of Facebook and Xing, according to the respective provider in Germany, only an anonymized IP will be collected. This takes place regardless of whether you have an account with this plug-in provider or are logged in there. If you are logged in at the plug-in provider, these data are assigned directly to your account. If you click on the button, the plug-in provider will store this information as well in your user account and communicates this to your contacts. If you do not want this assignment to your profile at the plug-in provider, you must log out before activating the button.
(3) The plug-in provider stores these data as a user profile and uses them for the purpose of advertising, market research and/or to design its website to meet the needs of users. Utilization of this sort takes place in particular (even for users who are not logged in) in order to display demand-oriented advertisement and to inform other users of the social network about your activities on our website. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, although to exercise this right, you must contact the respective plug-in providers.
(4) Further information about the meaning and scope of data collection and processing through plug-in providers can be found in the data protection declarations disclosed by these providers below.
