Based on this data we can improve our website and optimize the user experience. — Marketing cookies: cookies that collect your click and surfing behavior on our website and share it with our advertising network with the aim of being able to advertise more specifically.

What do we use your personal data for?

We use your personal data to ensure the correct functioning of our website on the one hand and to make your surfing experience as pleasant and smooth as possible on the other. We also use your (anonymised) personal data to create statistics and perform analyses on them. This with the aim of detecting certain trends and tendencies and thus optimising our website and being able to better tailor it to our target audience. For example: If we notice that a certain page on our website is rarely or not at all visited, we know that it is difficult for our visitors to find or that visitors have little or no interest in it. In addition, we use the information about your surfing behaviour on our website to optimise our marketing campaigns and to write to target groups in a more targeted manner. Your data will under no circumstances be used for purposes relating to profiling or automatic decision-making.

Who has access to your personal data?

We use the Google Analytics tool to process the data below: — Specifications of your computer or mobile device (type, operating system, browser, language, etc.) — How you arrived at our website (via which link) — Your behaviour on the website (duration of your visit, which pages you view, etc.) The right precautions are taken so that neither we nor Google can link this data to you. We use the Hotjar software to capture your surfing and clicking behaviour. We share the captured data with Facebook and LinkedIn to show you relevant advertisements on those pages. We will never do this without your permission and you can refuse this processing at any time. We never sell the personal data we have collected to third parties and do not share it with parties outside the European Union.

How long do we store personal data?

You can disable or delete all installed cookies from your computer or mobile device at any time via your browser settings (usually under “Help” or “Internet Options”).
