What do we use tracking data for?
Some of our digital offers track the usage behaviour of our website visitors in a pseudonymised way.
These pseudonymised user profiles are not combined with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym without the express consent of the data subject to be given separately.

Social plug-ins
Some of our websites use social plug-ins from various social networks. However, the plug-ins are deactivated by default and therefore do not send any data.

The purpose and scope of the data collection and the further processing and use of the data by social networks as well as your relevant rights and setting options for the protection of your privacy can be found in the data protection information of the respective networks or websites. You will find the links below.
