1.2 In principle, we do not collect, process or use any personal data from you if you visit our website for information purposes only.
2. web analysis and cookies, social plugins
2.1 When you visit our website, we use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser. Cookies do not contain any information that could directly identify the individual user. You can deactivate the use of cookies in the settings of your respective browser program, but you can also delete cookies automatically or manually. We would like to point out that our website may then not function or may no longer function as intended.
2.2 We may use certain of your data stored via cookies in accordance with the legal requirements in the context of pseudonymous user profiles for the purposes of advertising, market research or for the needs-based design of our offers.
2.3 We also use the web analysis tool Google Analytics from Google (Google Inc., USA) on our website to compile anonymous user statistics. Google Analytics uses cookies. The information generated is only processed in the USA in exceptional cases. There is no equivalent legal data protection in the USA compared to Switzerland. To ensure data protection for you, we use a function that only processes the IP address in abbreviated form in order to prevent it from being linked to you personally. If you have concerns in connection with the use of Google Analytics, you can block Google Analytics by installing a plug-in in your browser, for example.
2.4 Our website also uses functions of various social networks ("social plugins").
2.5 Social plugins are buttons on our website. When you visit our website, these buttons do not send any data to the respective social networks without your intervention. Only when you click on a button is a direct connection established with the server of the respective social network, which can collect data and set cookies. You can find more information about cookies in our cookie policy.
2.6 If you are logged in to a social network, it can assign your visit to this website to your user account.
2.7 We have no influence on the scope of the data collected by the social networks with their buttons. The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by the respective social networks as well as your rights in this regard and setting options to protect your privacy can be found in the data protection notices of the respective social networks.
2.8 If you are a member of the respective network, but do not want the provider to collect data relating to you via our website and possibly link it to other stored data, please always log out of the respective network completely before visiting other websites and possibly also delete the corresponding cookies.
