Cookies may be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the visitor's internet browser and are used to recognise the internet browser. The data collected, which may also include personal data, is transmitted to wiredminds or collected directly by wiredminds. wiredminds may use information left behind by visits to the websites to create anonymised usage profiles.

Insofar as IP addresses are collected, they are immediately anonymised by deleting the last number block.

We use the online advertising programme "Google AdWords" on our website and in this context conversion tracking (visit action evaluation). Google Conversion Tracking is an analysis service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google"). When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie for conversion tracking is placed on your computer. These cookies have a limited validity, do not contain any personal data and are therefore not used for personal identification. If you visit certain pages of our website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we will be able to recognise that you clicked on the ad and were redirected to that page. Each Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. Thus, there is no way that cookies can be tracked across AdWords customers' websites.

However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of this website to their full extent. You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. Furthermore, you can deactivate personalised advertising for you in Google's advertising settings. You can find instructions on how to do this at https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922?hl=us.

Use of Vimeo Components

We use components of the provider Vimeo on our website.  Vimeo is a service of Vimeo LCC, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA. Each time you call up our website, which is equipped with such a component, this component causes the browser you are using to download a corresponding representation of the component from Vimeo. If you visit our website and are logged in to Vimeo during this time, Vimeo recognises which specific page you are visiting through the information collected by the component and assigns this information to your personal account with Vimeo. If, for example, you click on the "Play" button or enter corresponding comments, this information is transmitted to your personal user account with Vimeo and stored there. In addition, the information that you have visited our site is passed on to Vimeo. This happens regardless of whether you click on the component/comment or not. If you wish to prevent this transmission and storage of data about you and your behaviour on our website by Vimeo, you must log out of Vimeo before visiting our site.
