When you visit our website, we use technical tools for various functions, in particular cookies, which may be stored on your device. Cookies are text files or information in a database that are stored on your hard drive and associated with the browser you are using, so that the entity that sets the cookie can receive certain information. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies).

When you visit our website, and at any time thereafter, you can choose which specific additional features you would like to enable. You can make changes at any time using our Consent Manager.

Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

We use the following types of cookies:

6.1 Technically Necessary Functions

Technically necessary cookies are required for the website to function properly. Without them, our website may not display correctly or fully, and support features may not be available.

These are generally cookies that are deleted once you have finished visiting our website, or at the latest when you close your browser. You cannot opt out of these cookies if you wish to use our website. The individual cookies are listed in the Consent Manager.

The storage of technically necessary cookies on your device, the collection of information to ensure the functionality of our website, and the provision of the Consent Manager are based on Section 25(2)(2) of the German Telemedia Act (TDDDG) in conjunction with Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). As the operator of our website, we have a legitimate interest in storing technically necessary cookies to ensure the complete and optimized delivery of our content.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to block cookies in specific cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

6.2 Consent Manager (CookieYes)

The first time you visit our website, a cookie banner will appear via our Consent Manager. You can use this banner to decline the use of non-essential cookies or to consent to the use of cookies. In addition, you can view the selection menu and choose to consent to or reject the use of cookies for analytics or advertising. To provide you with these features, we use the “CookieYes” cookie plugin from WordPress.

You can revoke or change your settings at any time using the CookieYes widget, which appears in the bottom-left corner of the website. The settings you select are stored in your browser via the corresponding cookies (cookieyes-consent, wp_consent).

6.3 Optional Features

We use certain cookies or other technologies only with your consent, which you can select via the Consent Manager. These features are activated only with your consent and may, in particular, allow us to analyze and improve visits to our website, recognize you when you visit, or obtain information about how you use our website, such as which pages or content you view.

We use this data to improve the quality of our website content and, as a result, our reach and profitability.

Data collection via this type of cookie is carried out exclusively on the basis of your explicit consent via the Consent Manager in accordance with Section 25(1) of the TDDDG in conjunction with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time via the Consent Manager without this affecting the lawfulness of the processing that took place prior to the withdrawal.

The features we use—which you can select or revoke individually via the Consent Manager—are described below.

a) Analytics cookies: Google Tag Manager

If you have given your consent, we use Google Tag Manager, a service provided by Google LLC (hereinafter referred to as “Google”), on our website.

This solution allows additional services to be managed collectively via so-called web page tags and made available on the website in a consolidated manner. Google Tag Manager does not collect any personal data itself, but it triggers other services that may collect personal data.

The following tags and associated third-party services can be loaded via Google Tag Manager:

Google Analytics
Google Ads

For the purposes of this processing, we have entered into a data processing agreement with Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, incorporating the European Commission’s current Standard Contractual Clauses (EU-SCC).

The U.S. company Google LLC, based in Mountain View, CA, has obtained certification under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and is thus participating in the current data protection agreement between the EU and the U.S.

Please note that it cannot be ruled out that personal data may be transferred to the United States and that Google LLC, as the U.S.-based parent company, or U.S. security authorities may gain access to this data. To use the features of Google Tag Manager, it is necessary to process your IP address. This is typically transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence over this data transfer. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your user account and create a user profile.

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal.

For more information about Google Tag Manager, visit https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/faq.html and Google’s Privacy Policy at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

b) Google Analytics

If you have given your consent, our website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The data controller in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics uses cookies to analyze how you use our websites. The information collected via these cookies about your user behavior is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

We use the AnonymizeIP feature (also known as IP masking). Because this IP anonymization feature is enabled on our website, Google will truncate your IP address within member states of the European Union or in other signatory states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the United States and truncated there.

On our behalf, Google will use this information to evaluate your website usage data—which has been pseudonymized through IP masking—and to compile reports on website activity. We use the reports provided by Google Analytics to analyze our website’s performance and measure the success of our marketing campaigns.

When you visit our website, the following data in particular is collected:

the pages you visited, your "click path"
Achievement of website goals (conversions, e.g., newsletter sign-ups, downloads, purchases)
Your user behavior (such as clicks, time spent on the site, bounce rates)
Your approximate location (region)
Your IP address (in abbreviated form)
Technical information about your browser and the devices you use (e.g., language settings, screen resolution)
Your Internet service provider
the referrer URL (information about which website or advertising medium you used to reach this website)

Please note that it cannot be ruled out that personal data may be transferred to the United States and that Google LLC, as the U.S.-based parent company, or U.S. government agencies may gain access to this data. To use the features of Google Analytics, it is necessary to process your IP address. This is typically transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence over this data transfer. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your account and create a user profile.

The legal basis for this data processing is your consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

You have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out on the basis of your consent prior to its withdrawal.

c) Advertising cookies: Google Ads and Google Marketing Platform

If you have given your consent, we use Google Ads and Google Marketing Platform, services provided by Google LLC, on our website. The data controller in the EU is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. These services enable us to display targeted advertisements and measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns.

Google Ads

Google Ads is Google’s proprietary online advertising system. The service is designed for what is known as conversion tracking.
A conversion occurs when you go from being a casual website visitor to an active visitor—that is, when you click on our ad and then take another action, such as visiting our website. Based on this data, we can determine how successful our advertising efforts are. We use this to show you ads that are relevant to you and to inform you about content on our website that is of interest to you.

Google Marketing Platform (doubleclick.net)

The Google Marketing Platform is a unified advertising and analytics platform built on the existing integrations between DoubleClick and the Google Analytics 360 Suite. We use the Google Marketing Platform to run campaigns and measure their success.

We have added a conversion tracking tag or code snippet to our website to better analyze certain user actions. When you click on one of our Google Ads, a "Conversion" cookie from a Google domain is stored on your computer (usually in your browser) or mobile device.

When you visit our website, the following data in particular is collected:

IP address
Unique cookie ID
Number of ad impressions per placement (frequency)
Last impression (relevant for post-view conversions)
Opt-out information (indication that the user no longer wishes to receive communications)

Please note that it cannot be ruled out that personal data may be transferred to the United States and that Google LLC, as a U.S. parent company, or U.S. security authorities may gain access to this data. To use the features of Google Ads, it is necessary to process your IP address. This is typically transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The provider of this website has no influence over this data transfer. If you are registered with a Google service, Google may associate your visit with your account and create a user profile.

7. Additional Services

We use the “Weglot” software solution to automatically translate the content on our website. When you visit our website, the plugin establishes a connection to an external server.

The provider is Weglot, 7 Cité Paradis, 75010 Paris, France. The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR to be able to display our website in various languages; to this end, we have entered into a data processing agreement with Weglot to ensure that it processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

This data is stored and used solely for the purpose of responding to your inquiry, contacting you, and for the related technical administration.

The legal basis for this data processing is the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that you have submitted a corresponding request to us, or our legitimate interest in the smooth handling of our business communications pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

Your data will be stored only for as long as is necessary for the purpose described above.

10. Applications via the application form (SAP SuccessFactors)

Your application data is processed for the purpose of conducting and managing the application process and assessing your suitability for the position in question. The processing of application data is necessary in order to make a decision regarding the establishment of an employment relationship.

11. Local deployment of Google Web Fonts

This website uses web fonts provided by Google to ensure consistent font display. The Google Fonts are installed locally only. Therefore, no connection is made to Google’s servers when the website and the associated fonts are loaded.

12. Integration of Google Maps

We use Google Maps on this website. This allows us to display interactive maps directly on the website and enables you to use the map feature with ease.

Google Maps wird über die Kategorie „Funktionale Cookies“ gesteuert und erst nach Ihrer ausdrücklichen Einwilligung über unseren Consent Manager geladen. Ohne Ihre Einwilligung wird keine Verbindung zu den Servern von Google hergestellt.

Die Nutzung von Google Maps erfolgt zur ansprechenden Darstellung unserer Online-Angebote und zur leichten Auffindbarkeit der von uns auf der Webseite angegebenen Orte. Rechtsgrundlage für die Einbindung von Google Maps ist Ihre Einwilligung gemäß Art. 6 Abs. 1 UAbs. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Die Übermittlung von Daten an Google erfolgt erst, nachdem Sie in die Nutzung funktionaler Cookies eingewilligt haben und die Google-Maps-Karte auf der Unterseite „Kontakt“ geladen wird. Erst zu diesem Zeitpunkt erhält Google die Information, dass Sie die betreffende Seite besucht haben. Zudem werden die oben unter Punkt 5 genannten grundlegenden Daten wie IP-Adresse und Zeitstempel übermittelt.

Wenn Sie bei Google eingeloggt sind, werden die Daten über Ihre Aktivität direkt Ihrem Konto zugeordnet.

Google verarbeitet Ihre Daten (selbst für nicht eingeloggte Nutzer) als Nutzungsprofile und nutzt sie für Zwecke der Marktforschung, bedarfsgerechten Werbung, Gestaltung seiner Webseite und/oder um andere Nutzer des sozialen Netzwerks über Ihre Aktivitäten auf unserer Webseite zu informieren. Ihnen steht ein Widerspruchsrecht gegen die Bildung dieser Nutzerprofile zu, wobei Sie sich zu dessen Ausübung an Google richten müssen.

13. Company profiles on social media and professional networks

Through our website, you can use individual links (buttons) to access our publicly available profile pages on social media and professional networking sites. Below, we provide information about how the websites we use on professional networking sites process data.

The legal basis for operating our profile pages is our legitimate interest, pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, in presenting our company comprehensively on the internet, connecting with other users, interacting with them, and responding to inquiries.

Please note that we have no influence over the data processing carried out by these networks, particularly the analytical processes performed by social media platforms, and that such processing may be based on different legal grounds, which must be specified in detail by the social media operators. Please refer to the privacy policies provided by the individual providers for more information.

Social networks can generally analyze your user behavior in detail when you visit their website or a website that includes integrated content such as "Like" buttons or advertising banners. When you visit our company profiles, your data may be processed as follows:

If you are logged into your user account on the respective platform and visit our profile page there, the platform operator may associate this with your user account.

Your personal data may also be collected via cookies or by processing your IP address if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective provider.

Using this data, website operators create so-called user profiles, in which your interests and online activities are stored, so that they can use your profile data for their own purposes if necessary.

When you visit one of our profile pages, we may be jointly responsible for data processing with the operator. Please refer to the information provided on the respective profile pages, as described below.

If we are jointly responsible for data processing with the operator, you may generally exercise your rights (right of access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and the right to lodge a complaint) with either us or the relevant provider.

When you share, like, or comment on our posts, we process this interaction data as well as your profile information. In addition, we may contact users directly if the information in their profile piques our interest. In doing so, we process the available profile data.

The data we collect directly through our profile pages, as well as any personal data you provide to us in connection with a contact request, will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, you request that we delete it, or you withdraw your consent to its storage. Mandatory legal provisions, such as retention periods, remain unaffected.

We have no control over how long your data is stored by the operators of professional networks, who process it for their own purposes. Please refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the individual providers, as listed below.
