| | ==== Cookies ==== |
| | Our website makes use of so-called cookies in order to recognize repeat use of our website by the same user/internet connection subscriber. Cookies are small text files that your internet browser downloads and stores on your computer. They are used to improve our website and services. In most cases these are so-called "session cookies" that are deleted once you leave our website. |
| | |
| | To an extent, however, these cookies also pass along information used to automatically recognize you. Recognition occurs through an IP address saved to the cookies. The information thereby obtained is used to improve our services and to expedite your access to the website. |
| | |
| | You can prevent cookies from being installed by adjusting the settings on your browser software accordingly. You should be aware, however, that by doing so you may not be able to make full use of all the functions of our website. |
| | |
| | ==== Server Data ==== |
| | For technical reasons, data such as the following, which your internet browser transmits to us or to our web space provider (so called server log files), is collected: |
| | |
| | * type and version of the browser you use |
| | * operating system |
| | * websites that linked you to our site (referrer URL) |
| | * websites that you visit |
| | * date and time of your visit |
| | * your Internet Protocol (IP) address. |
| | |
| | This anonymous data is stored separately from any personal information you may have provided, thereby making it impossible to connect it to any particular person. The data is used for statistical purposes in order to improve our website and services. |
| | |
| | ==== Purpose of Registering ==== |
| | We offer you the opportunity to sign up for some of the services on our website. The information entered when signing up, as shown in the registration form |

| | * Your Name |
| | * Your Email-Address |
| | * your preferred language setting |
| | * a user name chosen by you |
| | * //optionally//: your place of residence, your address or the institution you are working for. |
| | |
| | is collected and stored solely for use by our website. When signing up for our website, we also store your IP address and the date and time you registered or updated your registration. This serves to protect us in the event a third party improperly and without your knowledge makes use of your data to sign up for our site. None of this information is transferred to third parties. Nor is any of this information matched to any information that may be collected by other components of our website. |
| | |
| | ==== Contacting Us ==== |
| | On our website we offer you the opportunity to contact us, either by email and/or by using a contact form. In such event, information provided by the user is stored for the purpose of facilitating communications with the user. No data is transferred to third parties. Nor is any of this information matched to any information that may be collected by other components of our website. |
| | |
| | ==== Posting Comments ==== |
| | On some parts of our website we offer you the opportunity to post comments about individual articles or records. For this purpose, the IP address of the user/internet connection subscriber is stored. This information is stored for our security in the event the author through his/her comments infringes against third party rights and/or unlawful content is entered. Consequently, we have a direct interest in the author’s stored data, particularly since we may be potentially liable for such violations. No data is transferred to third parties. Nor is any of this information matched to any information that may be collected by other components of our website. |
| | |
| | ==== Subscribing to Comments ==== |
| | On our website we offer you the opportunity to subscribe to subsequent comments about an article which you intend to comment on. When you choose this option, you will receive a confirmation email which is used to determine if you are actually the owner of the email address entered. You may at any time revoke your decision to subscribe to such follow-on comments. You will find additional details in the confirmation email. No data hereby obtained is transferred to third parties. Nor is any of this information matched to any information that may be collected by other components of our website. |
| | |
| | ==== Use of Google Maps ==== |
| | We use the “Google Maps” component of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043 USA, hereinafter “Google.” |
| | |
| | Google sets a cookie in order to process the user configuration and data when the page with the integrated “Google Maps” component is displayed. As a general rule, this cookie is not deleted by closing the browser, but rather expires after a certain time, as long as it is not previously manually deleted by you. |
| | |
| | If you do not agree with this processing of your data, you may choose to deactivate the “Google Maps” service and thereby prevent the transfer of data to Google. To do this, you must deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use “Google Maps” or at least only to a limited extent. |
| | |
| | The use of “Google Maps” and the information obtained through “Google Maps” is according to Google’s Terms of Use: [[http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html]] as well as the additional Terms and Conditions for "Google Maps": [[https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html]] |
| | |
| | ==== Use of Facebook components ==== |
| | Our website employs components provided by facebook.com. Facebook is a service of Facebook Inc., 1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA. |
| | |
| | Each time our website receives an access request equipped with a Facebook component, the component prompts your browser to download an image of this Facebook component. Through this process, Facebook is informed precisely which page of our website is being visited. |
| | |
| | When you access our site while logged into Facebook, Facebook uses information gathered by this component to identify the precise page you are viewing and associates this information to your personal account on Facebook. Whenever you click on the “Like“ button, for example, or enter a comment, this information is transmitted to your personal account on Facebook and stored there. In addition, Facebook is informed of your visit to our website. This occurs regardless of whether you click on a component or not. |
| | |
| | If you wish to prevent the transfer to and storage of data by Facebook about you and your interaction with our website, you must first log out of Facebook before visiting our website. The data protection policies of Facebook provide additional information, in particular about the collection and use of data by Facebook, your rights in this regard as well as the options available to you for protecting your privacy: [[https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/"]] |

| | ==== Use of Twitter recommendation components ==== |
| | Our website employs components provided by Twitter. Twitter is a service of Twitter Inc., 795 Folsom St., Suite 600, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. |
| | Each time our website receives an access request equipped with a Twitter component, the component prompts your browser to download an image of this component from Twitter. Through this process, Twitter is informed precisely which page of our website is being visited. |
| | We have no control over the data that Twitter collects in the process, or over the extent of the data that Twitter collects. To the best of our knowledge, Twitter collects the URL of each website accessed as well as the IP address of the user, but does so solely for the purpose of displaying Twitter components. Additional information may be obtained from the Twitter data privacy policy, at: [[http://twitter.com/privacy]]. |

Each time our website receives an access request equipped with a LinkedIn component, the component prompts your browser to download an image of this component from LinkedIn. |
| | |
| | Through this process, LinkedIn is informed exactly which page of our website is being accessed. By clicking the LinkedIn “recommend button“ while logged into your LinkedIn account, you can link content from our website to your LinkedIn profile. This allows LinkedIn to associate your visit to our site with your LinkedIn account. |
| | |
| | We have no control over the data that LinkedIn collects thereby, nor over the extent of the data that LinkedIn collects. Nor do we have any knowledge of the content of data transferred to LinkedIn.
