Other parts were created with the Datenschutz Generator by AdSimple and are marked as such in sections.
- Introduction
The Website uses cookies and similar technologies (for convenience, all of these are collectively referred to as “cookies”). Cookies are also placed by third parties contracted by us. In the document below I inform you about the use of cookies on my website.
- What are cookies
A cookie is a simple small file that can be sent together with the pages of an Internet address and stored by the web browser on the PC or other device. The information stored in it may be sent to my servers or the servers of relevant third parties during subsequent visits.
- What are scripts?
A script is a piece of program code that allows my website to function properly and interactively. This code is executed on my server or on your device.
- Cookies
4.1 Technical or functional cookies
Some cookies ensure that parts of my website work properly and that your user preferences remain known. By placing functional cookies, I make it easier for you to visit my website. This way, when you visit my website, you do not have to repeatedly enter the same information, or your items remain in your shopping cart until you pay, for example. We may place these cookies without your consent.
4.2 Analytics cookies
Since statistics are collected anonymously, no permission is required to place analytical cookies.
4.2.1. Google Analytics privacy policy (created with the privacy generator by AdSimple)
Google Analytics Privacy Policy Summary |
4.2.1.1. What is Google Analytics?
We use on my website the analysis tracking tool Google Analytics (GA) of the American company Google Inc. For the European area the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. Google Analytics collects data about your actions on my website. For example, when you click on a link, this action is stored in a cookie and sent to Google Analytics. Using the reports I receive from Google Analytics, I can better tailor my website and service to your preferences. In the following, I will go into more detail about the tracking tool and, in particular, inform you about what data is stored and how you can prevent this.
Google Analytics is a tracking tool used to analyze traffic to my website. In order for Google Analytics to work, a tracking code is built into the code of my website. When you visit my website, this code records various actions you take on my website. Once you leave my website, this data is sent to Google Analytics servers and stored there.
Google processes the data and I receive reports about your user behavior. These reports may include, but are not limited to:
- Audience reports: Audience reports help us get to know my users better and know more precisely who is interested in my service.
- Ad reports: Ad reports help us analyze and improve my online advertising.
- Acquisition reports: Acquisition reports give us helpful information on how to attract more people to my service.
- Behavior reports: This is where I learn how you interact with my website. We can track the path you take on my site and which links you click.
- Conversion reports: Conversion is when you take a desired action based on a marketing message. For example, you go from being just a website visitor to a buyer or newsletter subscriber. These reports help us learn more about how my marketing efforts are working for you. This is how I aim to increase my conversion rate.
- Real-time reports: Here I always know immediately what is happening on my website. For example, I can see how many users are reading this text.
4.2.1.2. Why do I use Google Analytics on my website?
My goal with this website is clear: I want to provide you with the best possible service. The statistics and data from Google Analytics help us achieve this goal.
The statistically evaluated data shows us a clear picture of the strengths and weaknesses of my website. On the one hand, I can optimize my site so that it can be found more easily by interested people on Google. On the other hand, the data helps us to better understand you as a visitor. Thus, I know very well what I need to improve on my website in order to provide you with the best possible service. The data also helps us to carry out my advertising and marketing measures in a more individual and cost-effective way. After all, it only makes sense to show my products and services to people who are interested in them.
4.2.1.3. What data is stored by Google Analytics?
Google Analytics uses a tracking code to create a random, unique ID associated with your browser cookie. This is how Google Analytics recognizes you as a new user. The next time you visit my site, you will be recognized as a “returning” user. All collected data is stored together with this user ID. This makes it possible to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles.
In order to analyze my website with Google Analytics, a property ID must be inserted into the tracking code. The data is then stored in the corresponding property. For each newly created property, the Google Analytics 4 property is standard. Alternatively, you can also create the Universal Analytics property. Depending on the property used, data is stored for different lengths of time.
Labels such as cookies and app instance IDs are used to measure your interactions on my website. Interactions are all types of actions you take on my website. If you also use other Google systems (such as a Google account), data generated through Google Analytics may be linked to third-party cookies. Google does not share Google Analytics data unless I, as the website operator, authorize it. Exceptions may occur if required by law.
The following cookies are used by Google Analytics:
Name: _ga
Value: 2.1326744211.152311284017–5
Purpose: By default, analytics.js uses the _ga cookie to store the user ID. Basically, it is used to distinguish website visitors.
Expiration date: after 2 years
Name: _gid
Value 2.1687193234.152311284017–1
Purpose: The cookie is also used to distinguish the website visitors.
Expiration date: after 24 hours
Name: _gat_gtag_UA_<property-id>
Value: 1
Intended use: used to lower the request rate. If Google Analytics is deployed via Google Tag Manager, this cookie will be named _dc_gtm_ <property-id>.
Expiration date: after 1 minute
Name: AMP_TOKEN
Value: not specified
Purpose: The cookie has a token that can be used to retrieve a user ID from the AMP client ID service. Other possible values indicate a logout, a request, or an error.
Expiration date: after 30 seconds up to one year.
Name: __utma
Value: 1564498958.1564498958.1564498958.1
Purpose: This cookie is used to track your behavior on the website and measure performance. The cookie is updated every time information is sent to Google Analytics.
Expiration date: after 2 years
Name: __utmt
Value: 1
Purpose: The cookie is used like _gat_gtag_UA_<property-id> to throttle the request rate.
Expiration date: after 10 minutes
Name: __utmb
Value: 3.10.1564498958
Purpose: This cookie is used to determine new sessions. It is updated every time new data or info is sent to Google Analytics.
Expiration date: after 30 minutes
Name: __utmc
Value: 167421564
Purpose: This cookie is used to set new sessions for returning visitors. This is a session cookie and is only stored until you close the browser again.
Expiration date: After you close the browser.
Name: __utmz
Value: m|utmccn=(referral)|utmcmd=referral|utmcct=/
Purpose: The cookie is used to identify the source of traffic to my website. That is, the cookie stores from where you came to my website. This may have been another page or an advertisement.
Expiration date: after 6 months
Name: __utmv
Value: not specified
Purpose: The cookie is used to store custom user data. It is updated whenever information is sent to Google Analytics.
Expiration date: after 2 years
Note: This list cannot claim to be complete, as Google also changes the choice of their cookies again and again.
Here I show you an overview of the most important data collected by Google Analytics:
Heatmaps: Google creates so-called heatmaps. Heatmaps allow you to see exactly those areas that you click on. This gives us information about where you are “on the move” on my site.
Session duration: Google defines session duration as the time you spend on my site without leaving. If you have been inactive for 20 minutes, the session ends automatically.
Bounce rate: A bounce is when you view only one page on my site and then leave my site.
Account creation: when you create an account or make an order on my website, Google Analytics collects this data.
IP address: The IP address is only shown in a shortened form so that no clear assignment is possible.
Location: The IP address can be used to determine the country and your approximate location. This process is also referred to as IP- location determination.
Technical information: Technical information includes, but is not limited to, your browser type, internet service provider, or screen resolution.
Source of origin: Google Analytics or I are of course also interested in which website or which advertisement you came to my site from.
Other data include contact details, any ratings, playing media (for example, if you play a video via my site), sharing content via social media or adding to your favorites. The enumeration does not claim to be complete and only serves as a general orientation of the data storage by Google Analytics.
4.2.1.4. How long and where is the data stored?
Google has your servers spread all over the world. Most servers are located in America and consequently your data is mostly stored on American servers. Here you can read exactly where Google’s data centers are located:: https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=de
Your data is distributed on different physical data carriers. This has the advantage that the data can be retrieved more quickly and is better protected against manipulation. In every Google data center, there are corresponding emergency programs for your data. If, for example, the hardware at Google fails or natural disasters paralyze servers, the risk of a service interruption at Google still remains low.
The retention period of the data depends on the properties used. When using the newer Google Analytics 4 properties, the retention period of your user data is fixed at 14 months. For other so-called event data, I have the option to choose a retention period of 2 months or 14 months.
For Universal Analytics properties, Google Analytics defaults to a retention period of 26 months for your user data. Then your user data is deleted. However, I have the option to choose the retention period of user data ourselves. We have five variants available for this purpose:
- Deletion after 14 months
- Deletion after 26 months
- Deletion after 38 months
- Deletion after 50 months
- No automatic deletion
In addition, there is also the option that data will only be deleted if you no longer visit my website within the time period I have selected. In this case, the retention period is reset each time you visit my website again within the specified period.
Once the specified period has expired, the data is deleted once a month. This retention period applies to your data associated with cookies, user recognition and advertising IDs (e.g. DoubleClick domain cookies). Reporting results are based on aggregated data and are stored separately from user data. Aggregated data is a merging of individual data into a larger unit.
4.2.1.5. How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
Under European Union data protection law, you have the right to obtain information about your data, update it, delete it, or restrict it. Using the browser add-on to disable Google Analytics JavaScript (ga.js, analytics.js, dc.js), you can prevent Google Analytics from using your data. You can download and install the browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de. Please note that this add-on only disables data collection by Google Analytics..
If you generally want to disable, delete or manage cookies (independently of Google Analytics), there are separate instructions for each browser:
Chrome: Delete, enable and manage cookies in Chrome.
Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari.
Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer
Internet Explorer: delete and manage cookies
Microsoft Edge: delete and manage cookies
Please note that when using this tool, data from you may also be stored and processed outside the EU. Most third countries (including the USA) are not considered secure under current European data protection law. Data to insecure third countries may therefore not simply be transferred, stored and processed there unless there are suitable safeguards (such as EU standard contractual clauses) between us and the non-European service provider.
4.2.1.6. Legal basis
The use of Google Analytics requires your consent, which I have obtained with my cookie popup. According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), this consent constitutes the legal basis for the processing of personal data as it may occur during the collection by web analytics tools.
In addition to consent, there is a legitimate interest on my part to analyze the behavior of website visitors and thus to improve my offer technically and economically. With the help of Google Analytics, I detect website errors, can identify attacks and improve the economic efficiency. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (Legitimate Interests).
We hope I have been able to provide you with the most important information regarding the data processing of Google Analytics. If you want to learn more about the tracking service, I recommend these two links: http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html and https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de.
4.2.1.7. Google Analytics IP anonymization
We have implemented Google Analytics IP address anonymization on this website. This feature was developed by Google to enable this website to comply with applicable data protection regulations and recommendations of local data protection authorities when they prohibit storage of the full IP address. The anonymization or masking of the IP takes place as soon as the IP addresses arrive at the Google Analytics data collection network and before any storage or processing of the data takes place.
You can find more information on IP anonymization at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/2763052?hl=de.
4.2.1.8. Google Analytics reports on demographic characteristics and interests
We have turned on the advertising reports features in Google Analytics. The demographic and interest reports contain information on age, gender and interests. This allows us – without being able to assign this data to individual persons – to get a better picture of my users. You can learn more about the advertising functions at https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3450482?hl=de_AT&utm_id=ad.
You can stop the use of the activities and information of your Google account under “Advertising settings” on https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated via checkbox.
4.2.1.9. Google Analytics deactivation link
If you click on the following deactivation link, you can prevent Google from collecting further visits to this website. Attention: Deleting cookies, using the incognito/private mode of your browser, or using another browser will result in data being collected again.
Google Deactivate Google Analytics
4.2.1.10 Google Analytics Data Processing Addendum
We have entered into a direct customer agreement with Google for the use of Google Analytics by accepting the “Data Processing Addendum” in Google Analytics.
You can find out more about the data processing addendum for Google Analytics here: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/3379636?hl=de&utm_id=ad
4.2.1.11 Google Analytics Google Signals Privacy Policy
We have enabled Google signals in Google Analytics. This updates existing Google Analytics features (ad reports, remarketing, cross-device reports, and interest and demographic reports) to get aggregated and anonymized data from you if you have allowed personalized ads in your Google account.
What makes this special is that it is cross-device tracking. That means your data can be analyzed across devices. By enabling Google signals, data is collected and linked to the Google account. Google can thus recognize, for example, if you view a product on my website via a smartphone and only buy the product later via a laptop. Thanks to the activation of Google signals, I can launch cross-device remarketing campaigns that would otherwise not be possible in this form. Remarketing means that I can also show you my offer on other websites.
In Google Analytics, Google signals also collect other visitor data such as location, search history, YouTube history and data about your actions on my website. This gives us better advertising reports from Google and more useful information about your interests and demographics. This includes your age, what language you speak, where you live, or what gender you are. Furthermore, social criteria such as your profession, marital status or income are also added. All these characteristics help Google Analytics to define groups of people or target groups.
The reports also help us to better assess your behavior, your wishes and interests. This allows us to optimize and adapt my services and products for you. By default, this data expires after 26 months. Please note that this data collection only occurs if you have allowed personalized advertising in your Google account. This is always aggregated and anonymous data and never individual person data. In your Google account, you can manage this data or delete it.

4.2.2. Google Site Kit (created with the Datenschutz Generator by AdSimple)
Google Site Kit Privacy Declaration (Summary) |
4.2.2.1. What is Google Site Kit?
We have integrated the WordPress plugin Google Site Kit of the American company Google Inc. into my website. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible for all Google services. With Google Site Kit, I can quickly and easily view statistics that come from various Google products such as Google Analytics directly in my WordPress dashboard. The tool or the tools included in Google Site Kit also collect, among other things, personal data from you. In this privacy policy, I explain why I use Google Site Kit, how long and where data is stored and which other privacy texts are relevant for you in this context.
Google Site Kit is a plugin for the WordPress content management system. With this plugin, I can view important statistics for website analysis directly in my dashboard. These are statistics that are collected by other Google products. First and foremost, from Google Analytics. Besides Google Analytics, Google Search Console, Page Speed Insight, Google AdSense, Google Optimize and Google Tag Manager services can also be linked to Google Site Kit.
4.2.2.2. Why I use Google Site Kit on my website?
As a service provider, it is my job to offer you the best possible experience on my website. You should feel comfortable on my website and find exactly what you are looking for quickly and easily. Statistical evaluations help us to get to know you better and to adapt my offer to your wishes and interests. We use various Google tools for these evaluations. Site Kit makes my work much easier in this regard, because I can view and analyze the statistics of Google products right in the dashboard. So I don’t have to log in separately for each tool. Site Kit thus always provides a good overview of the most important analysis data.
4.2.2.3. What data is stored by Google Site Kit?
If you have actively agreed to tracking tools in the cookie notice (also called script or banner), Google products such as Google Analytics will set cookies and send data about you, such as your user behavior, to Google, where it will be stored and processed. This also includes personal data such as your IP address.
For more detailed information on the individual services, I have separate text sections in this privacy policy. For example, take a look at my privacy policy on Google Analytics. Here I go into great detail about the data collected. You will learn how long Google Analytics stores, manages and processes data, which cookies may be used and how you can prevent data storage. Likewise, I also have my own privacy statements with comprehensive information for other Google services, such as Google Tag Manager or Google AdSense.
In the following, I show you exemplary Google Analytics cookies that can be set in your browser, provided that you have agreed in principle to data processing by Google. Please note that these cookies are only a selection:
Name: _ga
Value:2.1326744211.152311284017–2
Purpose: By default, analytics.js uses the _ga cookie to store the user ID. Basically, it is used to distinguish website visitors.
Expiration date: after 2 years
Name: _gid
Value:2.1687193234.152311284017–7
Purpose: This cookie is also used to distinguish website visitors.
Expiration date: after 24 hours
Name: _gat_gtag_UA_<property-id>
Value: 1
Purpose: This cookie is used to lower the request rate.
Expiration date: after 1 minute
4.2.2.4. How long and where is the data stored?
Google stores collected data on its own Google servers, which are distributed worldwide. Most servers are located in the United States and therefore it is easily possible that your data is also stored there. At https://www.google.com/about/datacenters/inside/locations/?hl=de you can see exactly where the company provides servers.
Data collected by Google Analytics is kept for a standard 26 months. After that, your user data is deleted. The retention period applies to all data linked to cookies, user recognition and advertising IDs.
4.2.2.5. How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
You always have the right to obtain information about your data, to have your data deleted, corrected or restricted. In addition, you can also disable, delete or manage cookies in your browser at any time. Here I show you the corresponding instructions for the most popular browsers
Chrome: Delete, enable and manage cookies in Chrome.
Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari.
Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer
Internet Explorer: delete and manage cookies
Microsoft Edge: delete and manage cookies
Please note that when using this tool, data from you may also be stored and processed outside the EU. Most third countries (including the USA) are not considered secure under current European data protection law. Data to insecure third countries may therefore not simply be transferred, stored and processed there unless there are suitable safeguards (such as EU standard contractual clauses) between us and the non-European service provider.
4.2.2.6. Legal basis
The use of Google Site Kit requires your consent, which I have obtained with my cookie popup. According to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (consent), this consent constitutes the legal basis for the processing of personal data, as may occur during the collection by web analytics tools.
In addition to consent, there is a legitimate interest on my part in analyzing the behavior of website visitors and thus improving my offer technically and economically. With the help of Google Site Kit, I detect website errors, can identify attacks and improve the economic efficiency. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (Legitimate Interests).

4.3 Social Media
4.3.1. LinkedIn Privacy Declaration
(Created with the Datenschutz Generator by AdSimple)
LinkedIn Privacy Declaration Summary |
4.3.1.1. What is LinkedIn?
We use social plug-ins of the social media network LinkedIn, of the company LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA on my website. The social plug-ins may be feeds, content sharing or links to my LinkedIn page. The social plug-ins are clearly marked with the familiar LinkedIn logo and allow, for example, interesting content to be shared directly via my website. For the European Economic Area and Switzerland, LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company Wilton Place in Dublin is responsible for data processing.
By embedding such plug-ins, data can be sent to LinkedIn, stored and processed there. In this privacy policy, I want to inform you about what data is involved, how the network uses this data and how you can manage or prevent data storage.
LinkedIn is the largest social network for business contacts. Unlike Facebook, for example, the company focuses exclusively on building business contacts. Companies can present services and products on the platform and establish business relationships. Many people also use LinkedIn to look for jobs or to find suitable employees for their own company. In Germany alone, the network has over 11 million members. In Austria, there are about 1.3 million.
4.3.1.2 Why do I use LinkedIn on my website?
We know how busy you are. That’s why I can’t follow all social media channels individually. Even if it would be worth it, as in my case. Because time and again I post interesting news or reports that are worth spreading. That’s why I’ve made it possible on my website to share interesting content directly on LinkedIn or to link directly to my LinkedIn page. We consider built-in social plug-ins as an extended service on my website. The data that LinkedIn collects also helps us to show possible advertising measures only to people who are interested in my offer.
4.3.1.3.. What data is stored by LinkedIn?
LinkedIn does not store any personal data merely by integrating the social plug-ins. LinkedIn calls this data generated by plug-ins passive impressions. However, when you click on a social plug-in to share my content, for example, the platform stores personal data as so-called “active impressions”. And this is regardless of whether you have a LinkedIn account or not. If you are logged in, the collected data is assigned to your account.
Your browser establishes a direct connection to LinkedIn’s servers when you interact with my plug-ins. In this way, the company logs various usage data. In addition to your IP address, this can be login data, device information or info about your internet or mobile provider, for example. If you access LinkedIn services via your smartphone, your location (after you have allowed this) can also be determined. LinkedIn may also share this data in “hashed” form with third-party advertisers. Hashing means turning a record into a string of characters. This can be used to encrypt the data in such a way that individuals can no longer be identified.
Most data about your user behavior is stored in cookies. These are small text files that are usually set in your browser. Furthermore, LinkedIn can also use web beacons, pixel tags, display tags and other device identifiers.
Various tests also show which cookies are set when a user interacts with a social plug-in. The data found cannot claim to be exhaustive and is provided as an example only. The following cookies were set without being logged in to LinkedIn:
Name: bcookie
Wert: =2&34aab2aa-2ae1-4d2a-8baf-c2e2d7235c16311284017-
Purpose: The cookie is a so-called “browser ID cookie” and consequently stores your identification number (ID).
Expiration date: After 2 years
Name: lang
Value: v=2&lang=en-en
Purpose: This cookie stores your default or preferred language.
Expiration date: After end of session
Name: lidc
Value: 1818367:t=1571904767:s=AQF6KNnJ0G311284017…
Purpose: This cookie is used for routing. Routing records the ways you came to LinkedIn and how you navigate through the website there.
Expiration date: after 24 hours
Name: rtc
Value: kt0lrv3NF3x3t6xvDgGrZGDKkX
Purpose: No further information could be found about this cookie.
Expiration date: after 2 minutes
Name: JSESSIONID
Value: ajax:3112840172900777718326218137
Purpose: This is a session cookie that LinkedIn uses to maintain anonymous user sessions through the server.
Expiration date: after the end of the session
Name: bscookie
Value: “v=1&201910230812…
Purpose: This cookie is a security cookie. LinkedIn describes it as a secure browser ID cookie.
Expiration date: after 2 years
Name: fid
Value: AQHj7Ii23ZBcqAAAA…
Purpose: No further information could be found about this cookie.
Expiration date: after 7 days
4.3.1.4 How long and where is the data stored?
In principle, LinkedIn retains your personal data for as long as the company considers it necessary to provide its own services. However, LinkedIn deletes your personal data when you delete your account. In some exceptional cases, LinkedIn retains some data in aggregate and anonymized form even after you delete your account. Once you delete your account, other people will not be able to see your data within one day. LinkedIn generally deletes data within 30 days. However, LinkedIn retains data if it is necessary due to legal obligation. Data that can no longer be assigned to individuals remain stored even after the account is closed. The data is stored on various servers in America and presumably also in Europe.
4.3.1.5 How can I delete my data or prevent data storage?
You have the right to access and also delete your personal data at any time. In your LinkedIn account, you can manage, change and delete your data. In addition, you can also request a copy of your personal data from LinkedIn.
To access account data in your LinkedIn profile:
In LinkedIn, click on your profile icon and select the “Settings and Privacy” section. Now click on “Privacy” and then in the “How LinkedIn uses your data” section click on “Change”. In just a short time, you will be able to download selected data about your web activity and account history.
You also have the option in your browser to prevent LinkedIn from processing your data. As mentioned above, LinkedIn stores most data via cookies that are set in your browser. You can manage, deactivate or delete these cookies. Depending on which browser you have, the management works slightly differently. You can find the instructions for the most common browsers here:
Chrome: Delete, enable and manage cookies in Chrome.
Safari: Manage cookies and website data with Safari.
Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have placed on your computer
Internet Explorer: delete and manage cookies
Microsoft Edge: delete and manage cookies
You can also basically set up your browser so that you are always informed when a cookie is to be set. Then you can always decide individually whether you want to allow the cookie or not.
Please note that when using this tool, data from you may also be stored and processed outside the EU. Most third countries (including the USA) are not considered secure under current European data protection law. Data to insecure third countries may therefore not simply be transferred, stored and processed there unless there are suitable safeguards (such as EU standard contractual clauses) between us and the non-European service provider.
4.3.1.6.. Legal basis
If you have consented that data from you can be processed and stored by integrated social media elements, this consent is considered the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of my legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. Most social media platforms also set cookies in your browser to store data. That is why I recommend that you read my privacy text about cookies carefully and view the privacy policy or cookie policy of the respective service provider.
We have tried to bring you closer to the most important information about data processing by LinkedIn.

4.3.2. XING Privacy Declaration
(Created with the Datenschutz Generator by AdSimple)
Xing Privacy Declaration Summary |
4.3.2.1. What is Xing?
We use social plugins of the social media network Xing, of the company Xing SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Germany, on my website. Through these functions, you can, for example, share content on Xing directly via my website, log in via Xing or follow interesting content. You can recognize the plug-ins by the company name or the Xing logo. If you call up a website that uses a Xing plug-in, data may be transmitted to the “Xing servers”, stored and analyzed. In this privacy policy, I want to inform you about what data is involved and how you can manage or prevent this data storage.
Xing is a social network with its headquarters in Hamburg. The company specializes in managing professional contacts. That is, unlike other networks, Xing is primarily about professional networking. The platform is often used for job searches or to find employees for one’s own company. In addition, Xing offers interesting content on various professional topics. The global counterpart is the American company LinkedIn.
4.3.2.2.. Why do I use Xing on my website?
There is now a flood of social media channels and I are well aware that your time is very precious. Not every company’s social media channel can be closely scrutinized. That’s why I want to make your life as easy as possible, so you can share or follow interesting content directly from my website on Xing. With such “social plug-ins” I extend my service on my website. In addition, the data collected by Xing helps us to carry out targeted advertising measures on the platform. This means that my service is only shown to people who are really interested in it.
4.3.2.3 What data is stored by Xing?
Xing offers the share button, the follow button and the log-in button as plug-ins for websites. As soon as you open a page where a social plug-in from Xing is installed, your browser connects to servers in a data center used by Xing. In the case of the share button, no data is to be stored – according to Xing – that could infer a direct reference to a person. In particular, Xing does not store your IP address. Furthermore, no cookies are set in connection with the share button. Thus, no evaluation of your user behavior takes place. You can obtain more information about this via https://www.xing.com/app/share%3Fop%3Ddata_protection.
For the other Xing plug-ins, cookies are only set in your browser when you interact with the plug-in or click on it. Here, personal data such as your IP address, browser data, date and time of your page view on Xing may be stored. If you have a XING account and are logged in, collected data will be assigned to your personal account and the data stored therein.
The following cookies are set in your browser when you click on the follow or log in button and are not yet logged in to Xing. Please keep in mind that this is an exemplary list and I cannot claim completeness:

You have the right to access and also delete your personal data at any time. Even if you are not a Xing member, you can use your browser to prevent possible data processing or manage it according to your wishes. Most data is stored via cookies.

4.3.2.6 Legal basis
If you have consented that data from you can be processed and stored by integrated social media elements, this consent is considered the legal basis for data processing (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). In principle, your data will also be stored and processed on the basis of my legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in fast and good communication with you or other customers and business partners. Most social media platforms also set cookies in your browser to store data. That is why I recommend that you read my privacy text about cookies carefully and view the privacy policy or cookie policy of the respective service provider.

4.4.7. Google Fonts Privacy Declaration
(Created with the Datenschutz Generator by AdSimple)
On my website I use Google Fonts of the company Google Inc. For the European area the company Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland) is responsible. We have embedded the Google fonts locally, i.e. on my web server – not on Google’s servers. As a result, there is no connection to Google servers and thus no data transmission or storage.
4.4.7.1 What are Google Fonts?
Google Fonts used to be called Google Web Fonts. This is an interactive directory of over 800 fonts that Google provides free of charge. With Google Fonts, you could use fonts without uploading them to your own server. However, in order to prevent any information transfer to Google servers in this regard, I have downloaded the fonts to my server. This way I act privacy compliant and do not send any data to Google Fonts.
