What is a cookie?
​
A cookie is a text file deposited on your terminal when you visit a website. Its purpose is to collect information concerning your browsing habits and may enable your terminal to be identified on future visits during the cookie’s period of validity (13 months maximum). The cookie does not identify you personally, only your terminal.
​
What type of cookies do we use?
​
The cookies described below may be deposited on your terminal when you visit the Site.
​
Strictly necessary cookies
​
These cookies are necessary for the functioning of the Site and therefore cannot be deactivated. In particular, they are used to ensure the security of the Site and to save your cookie preferences. These cookies do not store any personal information and do not track your browsing on the Site.
​
Audience measurement cookies
​
Audience measurement cookies are used to compile statistics on Site traffic and use (number of visits, pages consulted, etc.) and to improve our services and content. This notably means that these cookies are only used to produce anonymous statistics and do not allow us to track your browsing on other sites.
​
Who deposits cookies?
​
The cookies that may be deposited on your terminal when you browse the Site are emitted by us and/or third parties.
​
Which third parties may deposit cookies?
​
Google Ads
Google Ads cookies are used to measure the performance of our sponsored marketing campaigns (by making it possible to identify visitors to the Site coming from a sponsored link), to detect areas for improvement on the Site and to improve the user experience.
​
Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc ("Google"). Google Analytics uses so-called "cookies". Cookies are text files that are stored on your end device and enable your use of the website to be analyzed. The information generated by the cookies about your use of this website (including your shortened IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. Google may also transfer this information to third parties where required to do so by law, or where such third parties process the information on Google's behalf. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
​
If you have consented to the use of cookies and wish to object to this at a later date, you can do so by installing a so-called add-on in your browser. To do this, you can follow the following link, which will take you to the Google page: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Alternatively, you can withdraw your consent by deleting your browser settings and clicking on our overlay cookie banner again.
​
When you access a LinkedIn page, the IP address assigned to your end device is transmitted to LinkedIn. According to LinkedIn, this IP address is anonymized (for "German" IP addresses) and deleted after 90 days. LinkedIn also stores information about the end devices of its users (e.g. as part of the "login notification" function); LinkedIn may thus be able to assign IP addresses to individual users.
If you are currently logged in to LinkedIn as a user, a cookie with your LinkedIn ID is stored on your device. This enables LinkedIn to track that you have visited this page and how you have used it. This also applies to all other LinkedIn pages.
You can find more information on this at https://de.linkedin.com/legal/cookie-policy
LinkedIn buttons integrated into websites enable LinkedIn to record your visits to these websites and assign them to your LinkedIn profile. This data can be used to tailor content or advertising to you.
If you want to avoid this, you should log out of LinkedIn or deactivate the "stay logged in" function, delete the cookies on your device and close and restart your browser. In this way, LinkedIn information that can be used to directly identify you will be deleted.
This allows you to use our LinkedIn page without revealing your LinkedIn identifier. If you access interactive functions on the page (like, comment, share, message, etc.), a LinkedIn login screen will appear. After logging in, you will again be recognizable to LinkedIn as a specific user.
​
