4. Cookies
We use cookies on our site. These are small files that your browser automatically creates and that are stored on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our site. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other malware. Information relating to the specific device used is stored in the cookie. However, this does not mean that we are immediately aware of your identity as a result. On the one hand, the use of cookies serves to make the use of our website more pleasant for you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after you leave our site. In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize usability, which are stored on your device for a specific period of time. If you visit our site again to use our services, it will automatically recognize that you have already been with us and what entries and settings you have made so that you do not have to enter them again. On the other hand, we use cookies to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you (see section 5). These cookies enable us to automatically recognize that you have already visited our site when you visit our site again. These cookies are automatically deleted after a defined period of time. The data processed through cookies is required for the stated purposes to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Most browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can configure your browser so that no cookies are stored on your computer or that a message always appears before a new cookie is created. However, completely disabling cookies may mean that you cannot use all features of our website.
5. Analysis tools
a) Tracking tools
The tracking measures listed below and used by us are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1S. 1 lit. f DSGVO. With the tracking measures we use, we want to ensure that our website is designed and continuously optimized. On the other hand, we use tracking measures to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimising our offer for you. These interests are regarded as justified within the meaning of the above provision. The respective data processing purposes and data categories can be found in the corresponding tracking tools.
i) Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc., for the purpose of designing and continuously optimizing our pages in line with your needs. (https://www.google.de/intl/de/about/) (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; hereinafter “Google”). In this context, pseudonymized user profiles are created and cookies (see section 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as browser type/version, operating system used, referrer URL (the previously visited page), host name of the accessing computer (IP address), time of the server request, is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide other services related to website activity and Internet usage for the purposes of market research and the demand-oriented design of these websites. This information may also be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of third parties. Under no circumstances will your IP address be combined with other data from Google. The IP addresses are anonymized so that allocation is not possible (IP masking). You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting the browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case not all functions of this website may be fully used. You can also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the site-related data (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de).Alternativ for the browser add-on, in particular for browsers on mobile devices, you can also prevent Google Analytics from collecting this data by clicking on this link. An opt-out cookie is set to prevent future collection of your data when you visit this website. The opt-out cookie is only valid in this browser and only for our website and is stored on your device. If you delete the cookies in this browser, you must set the opt-out cookie again. Further information on data protection in connection with Google Analytics can be found, for example, in the Google Analytics Help (https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de).
ii) Google Adwords conversion tracking
In order to statistically record the use of our website and to evaluate it for the purpose of optimizing our website for you, we also use Google Conversion Tracking. Google Adwords will set a cookie (see section 4) on your computer if you have reached our website via a Google ad. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. If the user visits certain 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 this page. Each Adwords customer receives a different cookie. Cookies can therefore not be traced via the websites of Adwords customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Adwords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Adwords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with conversion tracking. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users. If you do not want to participate in the tracking process, you can also refuse the necessary setting of a cookie — for example via a browser setting that generally deactivates the automatic setting of cookies. You can also deactivate conversion tracking cookies by setting your browser to block cookies from the “www.googleadservices.com” domain. Google's privacy policy on conversion tracking can be found here (https://services.google.com/sitestats/de.html).
6. Social media plug-ins
On our website, we use social plug-ins from the social networks Facebook, Twitter and Instagram on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in order to make our law firm better known. The underlying advertising purpose is regarded as a legitimate interest within the meaning of the GDPR. Responsibility for data protection-compliant operations must be guaranteed by their respective providers. We integrate these plug-ins using the so-called two-click method in order to protect visitors to our website in the best possible way.
a) Facebook
Social media plug-ins from Facebook are used on our website to make their use more personal. To do this, we use the “LIKE” or “SHARE” button. This is an offer from Facebook. When you visit a page on our website that contains such a plugin, your browser creates a direct connection to the Facebook servers. The content of the plugin is transmitted directly from Facebook to your browser and integrated by it 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 from your browser directly to a Facebook server 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. If you interact with the plugins, for example by pressing 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 can use this information for the purpose of advertising, market research and designing Facebook pages in line with needs. For this purpose, Facebook creates usage, interest and relationship profiles, e.g. to evaluate your use of our website with regard to the advertisements shown 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 via 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 further processing and use of the data by Facebook, as well as your related rights and settings options to protect your privacy, please refer to Facebook's privacy policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/).

You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock icon in the lower status bar of your browser. We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are constantly being improved in line with technological developments.
