To continuously improve and optimize our website, we utilize tracking technologies known as web analytics tools.

Depending on the provider of a web analytics tool, these servers may be located abroad. The transmitted IP addresses may be used to identify the visiting company.
6. How do we use social plugins?
Our website uses social plugins, such as those from LinkedIn and YouTube. The plugins are identified by the logo of the respective provider.
When you visit our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection with the provider’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted from the provider’s site directly to your browser and integrated into the web page. By integrating the plugins, the provider receives the information that you have visited our website. If you are logged in to the provider’s platform at the same time, the provider can associate your visit with your profile. If you interact with the plugins, the corresponding information is directly transmitted from your browser to the provider and stored there.
If you do not want the provider to collect data about you through our website, you must log out of the provider’s platform before visiting our website. Even when logged out, the providers collect anonymized data and set a cookie through the social plugins. This data can be associated with your profile if you log in to the provider’s platform at a later time.
If you do not want the providers to collect data about you through these cookies, you can choose the option “Block third-party cookies” in your browser settings. This way, the browser will not send any cookies to the server for embedded content from other providers. However, with this setting, some other functions of our website may not work properly.
