Microdata are small files that are stored on your terminal device (computer, laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. Microdata do not damage your terminal device, do not contain viruses, trojan programs, or other malicious programs. Information which arises each time in relation to the specific terminal device used is stored in the microdata. This does not mean that we have immediate knowledge of your identity because of them. The use of microdata aims on the one hand to offer you a more comfortable use. For this reason we use the so-called session microdata to acknowledge that you have already visited individual pages of the website. These are automatically deleted as soon as you leave our website. In addition, we use temporary microdata for ease of use, which are stored for a specified period of time on your terminal device. If you visit our page again to use our services, we automatically acknowledge that you have already visited us, what entries / settings you have made, so that you do not have to do the same thing again.

However, we would like to point out that in this case it may not be possible to use all the features of this website. You may also prevent the analysis of data generated by the microdata relating to the use of this website (including the web protocol address) as well as the processing of such data by Google if you download and install this extension in the Chrome web browser of Google. Instead of the above web browser extension, you can also block Google Analytics analysis if you choose this link, especially for mobile browsers. This creates an opt-out cookie, which prevents future analysis of your data when you visit this website. The exception microdata only applies to this web browser and only to our website and is stored only on your device. If you delete the microdata from this web browser, you will need to re-save the exception microdata. More information about data protection in relation to Google Analytics can be found on the Google Analytics website.

Recipients / categories of recipients:
