Privacy in a nutshell

Because it actually concerns a huge amount of information, we have decided to summarize the most important points here briefly;

Our website uses cookies for various components, for ease of use, to make it easier for our visitors.

In addition, we use both Google Analytics and Google Adsense which store the necessary details in cookie form. We use these to check the success of certain pages and to be able to make adjustments based on this.


Questions

If you have questions about exactly what we do with this information or if you would like to take a look at what information we keep track of website visitors or can see in Google Analytics / Google Adsense, then we are also available through our regular contact options. Of course we will gladly tell you more if desired (please note that we can not always respond immediately).

Google stores data because both Analytics and Adsense are services of Google.

Google may be required to provide this information if deemed necessary by you. We have no further influence on this and unfortunately we are not informed about this either.

We would kindly ask you to allow cookies for our website so that we can improve our website as much as possible and continue to offer you and others the best functionality.
