Tracking Tools, Social Plugins and Third Party Cookies.
Which tracking tools we use, how social media plugins operate and where third-party cookies are utilised – you’ll find all information about this here.
Tracking Tools.
Tracking tools are an important indicator for our websites. Can the contents be captured intuitively? What is the surfing behaviour of users like? How can we make it easier to find information? Many of these questions can be answered using tracking tools.
If you have agreed, we use tracking tools so that
- we can better understand how you navigate through our websites (and where there may be stumbling blocks).
- we know if you're reading our e-mails.
- the customer friendliness of our websites and apps is always improving.
- we can offer you better online marketing services.
In connection with cookies, user behaviour in the case of online offers can be analysed.
On our websites and apps we use the web analytics service of the company Piano Analytics based in France to optimise the websites and apps. You can request that your data are not be processed by Piano Analytics by clicking on “Cookie settings”.
The following data will be processed:
- Anonymised IP address
- Anonymous tracking data (browser behaviour, click behaviour, login status and login type, device access, etc.)
Place of data processing: EU
Ensuring security.
The last three digits of the IP address are deleted immediately after it is collected and before it is further processed to ensure the information is anonymous. The IP address is not linked to any other information that allows visitors to be identified.

Social plugins.
Social plugins are used to make our websites more personal. The plugins are marked with the provider’s logo, e.g. “Like” buttons.
The plugins are deactivated by default on our websites and therefore do not send any data to social networks. By clicking on "Activate Social Media" you can activate all plugins. This 2-click solution increases security. The plugins can, of course, be deactivated again with one click.
As soon as you access our web pages, your browser establishes a direct connection with the servers of the respective social network.
The IP address as well as the visited pages of our website are transmitted directly from your browser to a server of the provider and stored there (mostly in the USA). We therefore have no influence on the extent of the data that the provider collects with the plugin. The same applies if you do not have an account on this social network or if you are not logged in to it.
- Visits to our websites can be directly assigned to your user account.
- Each interaction with the plugins is transmitted directly to a server of the provider and stored there.
- The information might be published on the social network and displayed to other users of the social network.
What this is for:
- Offers that match your interests
- Creating usage, interest and relationship profiles in relation to your social networking activities
- Advertising
- Market research
You have the following options:
- Log out of the social network
- The privacy policy of the respective provider tells you how you can protect your rights and make your personal settings.
These social plugins can be used on our websites:
- Meta; Meta Platforms Technologies Ireland Limited (Merrion Road, Dublin 4 D04 X2K5, Ireland)
- X; X Corp. (Attn: Privacy Policy Inquiry, 865 FM 1209, Building 2, Bastrop, TX 78602, USA)

We also use third-party cookies – which are cookies from a domain different than the domain of the website you are visiting – for our advertising and marketing efforts.
