4. Cookies

We use cookies on our website. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any harm to your device, and they do not contain viruses, trojans, or any other malicious software. The cookie stores information that is related to the specific device being used. However, this does not mean that we immediately gain knowledge of your identity. The use of cookies serves two main purposes. On one hand, it is used to make your use of our services more pleasant. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages on our website. These cookies are automatically deleted when you leave our site.

Furthermore, we also use temporary cookies to enhance user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specific, defined period. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have been here before and what inputs and settings you made, so you do not have to enter them again.

Furthermore, we use cookies to statistically record the usage of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offerings for you (see section 5). These cookies allow us to automatically recognize, during a subsequent visit to our site, that you have already been here. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period. The data processed by cookies are necessary for the purposes mentioned above to safeguard our legitimate interests as well as those of third parties, pursuant to Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser in such a way that no cookies are stored on your computer, or a notification appears before a new cookie is created. Nevertheless, completely disabling cookies may result in you not being able to use all the functions of our website.

6. Analytics-Tools

a) Tracking-Tools

The tracking measures listed below, which we use, are carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. With the tracking measures we use, we want to ensure a needs-based design and the continuous optimization of our website. On the other hand, we use the tracking measures to statistically record the usage of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our offerings for you. These interests are to be regarded as legitimate within the meaning of the aforementioned provision.

The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.

i) Google Analytics1

• Browser type/version 
• Operating system used 
• Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
• Hostname of the accessing computer (IP address)
• Time of the server request

is transferred to a server by Google in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the usage of the website, compile reports on website activities, and provide other services related to website usage and internet usage for the purposes of market research and customized design of these web pages. Additionally, this information may be transferred to third parties as required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf. In no case will your IP address be merged with other data from Google. The IP addresses are anonymized, so that an assignment is not possible (IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of cookies by adjusting your browser software settings; however, we would like to point out that in this case, not all functions of this website may be fully available.

Furthermore, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) as well as the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).

Alternatively, especially for browsers on mobile devices, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie will be set, which prevents the future collection of your data when visiting this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website, and it will be stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you will need to set the opt-out cookie again.

For more information on data privacy related to Google Analytics, you can refer to the Google Analytics Help Center (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=en).

ii) Google Adwords Conversion Tracking

To statistically track the usage of our website and evaluate it for the purpose of optimization, we also utilize Google Conversion Tracking. In this process, Google AdWords sets a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have arrived at our website through a Google ad.

These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits specific pages of the AdWords customer’s website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and the customer can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page.

Each AdWords customer receives a different cookie, so cookies cannot be tracked across the websites of AdWords customers. The information obtained through the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. AdWords customers are informed about the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive information that personally identifies users.

If you do not wish to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the setting of the necessary cookie – for example, by configuring your browser to generally disable the automatic setting of cookies. You can also disable cookies for conversion tracking by setting your browser to block cookies from the domain ‘www.googleadservices.com.’ Google’s privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/en.html).

iii) Matomo

We use the open-source software Matomo for the analysis and statistical evaluation of website usage. For this purpose, cookies are used (see section 4). The information generated by the cookie about website usage is transmitted to our servers and aggregated into pseudonymous usage profiles. This information is used to evaluate website usage and enable a user-friendly design of our website. Information is not passed on to third parties.

Under no circumstances is the IP address associated with other user-related data. IP addresses are anonymized, making any association impossible (IP masking).

Your visit to this website is currently being tracked by Matomo web analytics. Click here (https://matamo.org/docs/privacy/) if you do not want your visit to be tracked any further.

7. Social Media Plug-ins

We use social plugins from the social networks Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram on our website based on Art. 6(1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to make our law firm more widely known. The underlying promotional purpose is to be considered a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. The responsibility for data protection-compliant operation lies with their respective providers. We integrate these plugins on our website using the so-called two-click method to provide the best possible protection for our website visitors.

a) Facebook

On our website, we use social media plugins from Facebook to make their use more personal. For this purpose, we use the ‘LIKE’ or ‘SHARE’ button. This is an offer from Facebook.

When you visit a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Facebook’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by Facebook and integrated into the website.

By integrating the plugins, Facebook receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have a Facebook account or are not currently logged in to Facebook. This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of Facebook in the USA and stored there.

If you are logged in to Facebook, Facebook can directly associate your visit to our website with your Facebook account. When you interact with the plugins, for example by clicking the ‘LIKE’ or ‘SHARE’ button, the corresponding information is also transmitted directly to a Facebook server and stored there. The information is also published on Facebook and displayed to your Facebook friends.

Facebook may use this information for advertising, market research, and the personalized design of Facebook pages. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest, and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements displayed to you on Facebook, to inform other Facebook users about your activities on our website, and to provide other services associated with the use of Facebook.

If you do not want Facebook to associate the data collected through our website with your Facebook account, you must log out of Facebook before visiting our website.

For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by Facebook, as well as your rights and settings to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook’s privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

b) Twitter

On our website, we have integrated plugins from the short message network of Twitter Inc. (Twitter). You can recognize the Twitter plugins (tweet button) by the Twitter logo on our site. An overview of tweet buttons can be found here (https://about.twitter.com/resources/buttons).

When you visit a page of our website that contains such a plugin, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Twitter server. Twitter receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click on the Twitter ‘tweet button’ while logged into your Twitter account, you can link the content of our pages to your Twitter profile. This allows Twitter to associate the visit to our pages with your user account. Please note that as the provider of these pages, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Twitter.

If you do not want Twitter to associate your visit to our pages, please log out of your Twitter user account.

For more information, please refer to Twitter’s privacy policy (https://twitter.com/privacy).

c) Instagram

On our website, we also use so-called social plugins (‘plugins’) from Instagram, which is operated by Instagram LLC, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA (‘Instagram’).

The plugins are marked with an Instagram logo, for example, in the form of an ‘Instagram camera.’

When you visit a page of our website that contains such a plugin, your browser establishes a direct connection to Instagram’s servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly to your browser by Instagram and integrated into the page. By integrating the plugin, Instagram receives the information that your browser has accessed the corresponding page of our website, even if you do not have an Instagram profile or are not currently logged in to Instagram.

This information (including your IP address) is transmitted directly from your browser to a server of Instagram in the USA and stored there. If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can directly associate the visit to our website with your Instagram account. When you interact with the plugins, for example, by clicking the ‘Instagram’ button, this information is also transmitted directly to a server of Instagram and stored there.

The information is also published on your Instagram account and displayed to your contacts.

If you do not want Instagram to directly associate the data collected through our website with your Instagram account, you must log out of Instagram before visiting our website.

For more information, please refer to Instagram’s privacy policy (https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388).

10. Data security

During your visit to the website, we use the widely recognized SSL (Secure Socket Layer) protocol in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. Typically, this involves 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we revert to 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can recognize whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed representation of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

Furthermore, we employ suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological advancements.

11. Data Protection for Job Applications and in the Application Process

The data controller collects and processes the personal data of job applicants for the purpose of managing the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case when an applicant submits relevant application documents electronically, for example, via email or through a web form located on the website, to the data controller. If the data controller enters into an employment contract with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of managing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the data controller does not enter into an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision is communicated, unless deletion is opposed by other legitimate interests of the data controller. Other legitimate interests in this sense may include, for example, the obligation to provide evidence in a procedure under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
