This website uses the personalization and web analytics service Kameleoon. The program enables analysis of user behavior based on (automated) user segmentation. Based on the evaluation of log file data, we can determine how individual user segments visit the website, which landing pages are accessed, and how click rates can be increased. The system analyzes your behavior and its context when using this website and assigns this anonymously to target groups.

For the analyses, as described above, cookies/the browser's local storage are used, which are linked to a pseudonymized ID. Your IP address is completely anonymized and not stored. The information generated by the cookie/local storage about your use of this website is transmitted to a Kameleoon server in Germany and stored there in aggregated and pseudonymized form. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the framework of Kameleoon is not merged with other Kameleoon data.

The use of Kameleoon serves to evaluate your use of the website and to compile reports on website activities so that we can regularly improve our offer. The legal basis for storing the cookie is the consent given (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR). Further evaluation of the collected data takes place over a period of max. 365 days based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

You can prevent the storage of cookies/local storage by appropriate settings of your browser software; however, we point out that in this case you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.
