In addition, we also use temporary or permanent cookies. These remain stored on your computer or mobile device after the end of the browser session. During a further visit to one of our Internet pages, it is then automatically recognized which inputs and settings you prefer. Depending on the type of cookie, these temporary or permanent cookies remain stored on your computer or mobile device for between one month and ten years and are automatically deactivated after the programmed time has elapsed. They serve to make our Internet pages more user-friendly, effective and secure. Thanks to these cookies, you will, for example, receive information on the page specifically tailored to your interests.

You can also delete cookies from your computer or mobile device by using the appropriate feature of your browser. If you choose not to accept our cookies or the cookies of our affiliates, you will not see certain information on our Internet sites and will not be able to use some features designed to enhance your visit.

These are the following usage data: Date and time of access to our Internet site; name of the Internet site accessed; IP address of your computer or mobile device; address of the Internet site from which you came to our Internet site; amount of data transferred, as well as the name and version of your browser.

12. How do we use social plugins?
Our Internet pages use social plugins, e.g. from Facebook, Twitter or Google+. The plugins are marked with the logo of the provider and can be, for example, "Like" buttons or a Twitter button or Google+ button.
When you call up our Internet pages that contain such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the computers of the provider. The content of the plugin is transmitted by the offering site directly to your browser and integrated by it into the Internet page. By integrating the plugins, the provider receives the information that you have accessed our Internet page. If you are logged in to the provider at the same time, the provider can assign the visit to your profile. If you interact with the plugins - for example, by clicking the "Like" button or posting a comment - the corresponding information is transmitted directly from your browser to the provider and stored there.
If you do not want the provider to collect data about you via our Internet site, you must log out of the provider before visiting our Internet site. Even when logged out, the providers collect data anonymously via the social plugins and set you a cookie. If you log in to the provider at a later time, this data can be assigned to your profile.
If a login is offered via a social login service - e.g. Facebook Connect - data is exchanged between the provider and our website. In the case of Facebook Connect, this may be data from your public Facebook profile, for example. By using such login services, you consent to the transfer of data.
Please refer to the privacy policies of the providers for the purpose and scope of data collection and further processing of your data by the provider, as well as your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy.
