IV Cookies/Web Beacons

  1. When you visit the portal as a user, we—and, where applicable, other ad servers or partners—use cookies. These are small data packets that are stored on your hard drive via your browser. These cookies automatically expire one year after your last visit. Of course, you can also delete cookies at any time using the appropriate browser function. There, you can also configure how your browser should generally handle cookies. If you delete cookies or set your browser to reject them, this may affect the functionality of the portal.
  2. In addition, we and, where applicable, third parties may occasionally use tracking pixels (e.g., web beacons). Tracking pixels are small graphics on websites that enable log file recording and analysis and are frequently used for statistical evaluations. Tracking pixels contain only anonymous data.

V Google Analytics

  1. Our website uses Google Universal Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Universal Analytics uses so-called “cookies,” which are text files stored on your computer and other devices that enable an analysis of your use of our digital offerings. The information generated by the cookie regarding your use of these digital offerings is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.
  2. Please note that on this website, Google Analytics has been enhanced with the code “gat._anonymizeIp();” to ensure that IP addresses are collected anonymously (IP masking). As a result, at our request, Google collects your IP address only in truncated form, which ensures anonymity and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity.
  3. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with any other data held by Google.
  4. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie by installing the following browser plugin:
