5. Cookies and consent management
Our website uses cookies and similar technologies. Some cookies are technically necessary to provide the website properly. Other cookies or services are loaded or set only after your explicit consent, in particular statistics, analytics, maps, and marketing services.
We use technically necessary cookies on the basis of Section 165(3) TKG 2021 and/or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Non-essential cookies and services are loaded only if you accept them via the cookie banner.
Legal basis for all non-essential cookies: Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent).
You can withdraw or change your consent at any time with effect for the future via the Cookie Settings on our website.
6. Google Analytics
Where activated, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google. Google Analytics helps us understand how visitors use our website so that we can improve content and functionality.
In particular, the following data may be processed: technically processed or shortened IP address, device and browser information, pages visited, time spent, interactions on the website, and approximate location data.

9. Google Fonts
If Google Fonts are embedded locally on our website, no personal data is transferred to Google for that purpose.
If Google Fonts are loaded externally from Google servers, personal data, in particular your IP address, may already be transmitted to Google when the website loads.
As local embedding has been recommended for your website, it should be checked technically that Google Fonts are actually hosted locally.
10. Google Business Profile
We maintain a Google Business Profile in order to make our company easier to find on Google Search and Google Maps. Google provides profile owners with performance and interaction data, such as views, searches, website clicks, phone calls, and direction requests in relation to the Business Profile.

To the extent that such data is provided by Google only in aggregated form, we do not create any additional personal usage profiles from it ourselves.
11. Recipients and processors
Your personal data is disclosed to third parties only where this is necessary for contract performance, required by law, based on your consent, or carried out within the scope of data processing on our behalf.
Recipients or categories of recipients may include: hosting and email providers (World4You), IT and web service providers for technical support, Google services where consent has been granted or where the relevant service is used, and authorities or other public bodies where legally required.
