7. Cookies Our website uses cookies. Cookies are pieces of information transferred from our web server—or third-party web servers—to your browser and stored there for later retrieval. Cookies may take the form of small files or other types of data storage. They store information related to the specific device being used. Cookies contain a characteristic string of characters that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is accessed again. A cookie also contains information regarding its origin and storage duration. However, this does not mean that we gain direct knowledge of your identity through them. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. On one hand, we use so-called session cookies, which are stored only for the duration of your visit to our website (e.g., to enable the storage of your shopping cart contents). A session cookie stores a randomly generated, unique identification number—a so-called session ID. Session cookies are automatically deleted after you leave our website. In addition, we use temporary cookies that are stored on your device for a specific period (so-called first-party cookies). If you visit our site again, the system automatically recognizes that you have visited us before and recalls the inputs and settings you previously made, so you do not have to enter them again. We also use cookies for other purposes, such as web analytics. These cookies are also automatically deleted after a defined period. This usage is explained in further detail below. You have the option to prevent cookies from being set by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. However, please note that using our website may be restricted if you do so. Cookies do not install or launch any programs or other applications on your computer. You may object to the use of cookies for audience measurement and advertising purposes via the Network Advertising Initiative’s opt-out page (https://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and, additionally, via the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/). The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. Our overriding legitimate interest lies in the operation, analysis, and optimization of our website and our customer interactions.
8. Google Analytics We use web analytics services on our website (or parts thereof) to track how visitors use our site and to optimize the website and its presentation overall. We use the web analytics service Google Analytics with IP anonymization. Google Analytics is a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”). Cookies are set as part of Google Analytics. Data is also transmitted to the USA. As part of the IP anonymization process, the IP addresses of our website visitors collected by Google are truncated within the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to Google in the USA and truncated there. The transmitted IP addresses are not combined with other data held by Google. You can prevent the storage of cookies by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting data generated by the cookie regarding your use of the online service and from processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link; this plugin informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data or information regarding website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de The use of Google Analytics involves the transmission of personal data to a third country outside the EU. Google holds a Privacy Shield certification, which can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active. Accordingly, appropriate safeguards for data transmission are in place in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR. The legal basis for this data processing in the context of web analytics is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our website and our customer interactions.
9. Google Maps We use the Google Maps (API) service provided by Google Ireland Limited on our website. Google Maps enables the display of interactive maps. When you visit subpages of our website that utilize Google Maps, information regarding your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to Google servers in the USA and stored there. The use of Google Maps involves the transfer of personal data to a third country outside the EU. Google holds Privacy Shield certification, which can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active. Accordingly, appropriate safeguards for data transfer are in place in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR. Further information regarding data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our overriding legitimate interest lies in the analysis, optimization, and economic operation of our website and our customer interactions.
10. Social Media Buttons Social media buttons for the social networks Twitter, Xing, Instagram, and LinkedIn are integrated into our website. If you click on one of these social media buttons, you will be redirected to our pages on the respective social network. In this case, the provider of the respective social network receives information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a profile on that social network or are not logged in. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the respective provider. If you click a social media button and are either logged into the respective social network or subsequently log in on that network’s page, the transmitted information may be associated with your account on that social network. For information regarding the purpose and scope of data collection and processing by the providers of the respective social networks, provider details, contact information, and your rights and privacy settings, please consult the respective privacy policies of the social network providers. The legal basis for the integration and use of the social media buttons is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our overriding legitimate interest lies in the marketing of our services and our website.
11. Social Media Pages (“Fan Pages”) We maintain publicly accessible profiles on the social media networks Twitter, Xing, Instagram, and LinkedIn (“Social Media Pages” or “Fan Pages”). When you visit one of our Social Media Pages while logged into the respective social media network, the provider of that network may analyze your usage behavior, associate the information collected with your account on that network, and enrich your profile data there. Even if you are not logged in—or do not even have an account with the respective social media network—the provider may still collect personal data about you, such as your IP address or data gathered via cookies. The operators of these social media networks can create user profiles based on this data. Your user profile may then be used to display interest-based advertisements to you, both on the social media network’s own websites and on other websites. When you visit one of our Social Media Pages, we share responsibility with the social media network provider for the collection and processing of your personal data that takes place there. For information regarding the collection and processing of your personal data in this context, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social media network. We do not possess any further information on this matter.
We are happy to provide you with information regarding the appropriate safeguards for data transfers to third countries pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR upon request at any time. You may exercise your rights as a data subject under Chapter III of the GDPR (right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, etc.) against both us and the provider of the respective social media network. In this context, please note that our ability to influence the processing of personal data and the implementation of data subject rights regarding our social media pages is limited to the options made available to us by the respective provider. The legal basis for our use of social media pages is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our overriding legitimate interest lies in maintaining an online presence and marketing our products and services.

12. Use of Leadfeeder Our website uses technologies provided by Dealfront (Liidio Oy, part of Dealfront Group GmbH) (“Dealfront”) to analyze visitor behavior. During this process, a visitor’s IP address is processed to help us understand which companies (B2B) are visiting our website. As part of this processing, the IP address is enriched with associated information, such as the company name or industry code. To this end, the website visitor’s IP address and corresponding session data are compared against an extensive whitelist of known companies at the start of the session. If we process personal data in this context, we do so based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) in optimizing our products, services, sales, and marketing activities. To prevent this processing, website visitors can install and configure ad blockers or use NoScript plugins in their browsers. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the intended purposes; however, statutory retention obligations may result in a longer retention period for the data in question. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Dealfront to ensure compliance with applicable data protection standards.
13. Fonts To display the content of our website correctly and attractively across different browsers, we use font libraries on this website. Accessing font libraries automatically triggers a connection to the library operator. In doing so, the operator receives information indicating that the font required for our website has been accessed from your IP address. You can prevent the use of such libraries and the associated data transmission by installing a JavaScript blocker (e.g., www.noscript.net). We use Google Web Fonts provided by Google Ireland Limited (https://www.google.com/webfonts/). Using Google Web Fonts involves the transmission of data to the USA. Further information regarding data processing by Google can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy. Google holds Privacy Shield certification, which can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active. Consequently, appropriate safeguards for data transmission are in place in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our overriding legitimate interest lies in the optimization and economic operation of our website and the customer interactions taking place via it.
14. Job Applications We collect and process personal data from applicants for the purpose of managing the application process. If an applicant submits their application documents to us electronically, this processing is carried out electronically. If we enter into an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be processed for the purpose of the employment relationship in compliance with statutory regulations. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted immediately after the conclusion of the application process, unless deletion is precluded by an overriding legitimate interest—such as the defense against claims or the need to preserve evidence under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). The legal basis for this storage and processing is the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
