a) Google
We use various services provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google). We are not responsible for the data processing by Google itself and generally have no influence on how Google processes your personal data.
However, your IP address is anonymized before it is transmitted to Google in the USA so that it cannot be assigned to you personally (IP masking). In addition, your IP address is never merged with other Google data. Google is certified under the US-CH and US-EU Privacy Shield Agreement, which ensures a level of data protection that meets Swiss and European data protection requirements.
Further information on data processing by Google can be found here: Policies.google.com ; Policies.google.com/privacy .
I) Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics for the purpose of demand-oriented design and continuous optimization of the website. The information is used to evaluate the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, to provide other services related to the use of websites and the Internet, and for market research purposes. In this context, pseudonymous usage profiles are created and cookies (see Section 3) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as e.
- browser type / version,
- operating system used,
- Referrer URL (the previously visited page),
- Host name of the accessing device (IP address),
- time of the server request

You can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie in connection with your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on. You can find more information at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
II) Google Maps
We may use Google plug-ins from Google Maps on the website. In this way, we can show you interactive maps directly on the website and use the map function conveniently. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account. If you do not want to be assigned to your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button.
Google stores your data as usage profiles and uses them for advertising, market research and / or needs-based website design. By using Google Maps on the website, information about the use of this website (including the IP address) is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and also stored on this server. You can prevent Google Maps from running by disabling Javascript in your browser. Under these circumstances, you will not be able to use the functions of Google Maps, e.g. the map display.
For more information, please visit: https://www.google.com/intl/de_ch/streetview/policy/ .
III) Google Web Fonts
So-called web fonts provided by Google are used for the uniform display of fonts. When you visit the website, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google servers. This gives Google the knowledge that the website was accessed through your IP address. If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font will be used by your computer.
More detailed information about Google Web Fonts can be found at: developer.google.com/fonts/faq.
IV) jQuery JavaScript libraries / libraries.
jQuery is a free JavaScript library that provides functions for DOM navigation and manipulation. By using the jQuery libraries, we can provide you with a better representation of our online services. When you visit the website, your browser loads the external JavaScript file from the ajax.googleapis.com server. The jQuery base library consists of a JavaScript file that contains all the basic DOM, event, effect, and Ajax functions. This allows the website owner to provide certain features for a better user experience.
For this purpose, the browser you use must connect to Google servers. This gives Google the knowledge that the website has been accessed via your IP address.
For more information about the integrated jQuery library, see Adobe's privacy information, which you can access here: developer.google.com/speed/libraries/.
b) Facebook
Remarketing tags from the social network Facebook, 1601 South California Avenue, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA (Facebook) are integrated on the website. We are not responsible for the data processing by Facebook itself and generally have no influence on how Facebook processes your personal data. Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield agreements US-CH and US-EU, ensuring a level of data protection that corresponds to Swiss and European data protection requirements.
You can find more information about data protection on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation .
When you visit the website, a direct connection is established between your browser and the Facebook server via the remarketing tags. This informs Facebook that you have visited the website. This allows Facebook to associate your visit with your user account. We can use the information obtained in this way to display Facebook ads.
c) Social media plug-ins
Plug-ins and other tools (e.g. Facebook Pixel) are used on the website to recommend and share our articles on social networks (e.g. YouTube, LinkedIn, Facebook, Vimeo).
When social media plugins are used, personal data of users is forwarded to the providers of social networks. However, data to the aforementioned providers is only transmitted if you are logged in with your profile on the corresponding platform. We have no influence on the processing by the respective operators of the social networks. In this context, please refer to the respective privacy statements of the respective providers.
