We use these cookies to make our service more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Furthermore, cookies enable our systems to recognize your browser even after you navigate to a different page and provide you with services. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these functions, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after switching pages.

Processing is carried out based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, due to our overriding legitimate interest in ensuring the optimal functionality of the website as well as a user-friendly and efficient design of our offering.

**Plug-ins**

**Use of Google Maps**

We use the function for embedding Google Maps maps from Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA; "Google") on our website.

If you are habitually resident in the European Economic Area or Switzerland, Google Ireland Limited (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) is the entity responsible for your data. Google Ireland Limited is therefore the affiliated company of Google that is responsible for processing your data and ensuring compliance with applicable data protection laws.

This function allows for the visual representation of geographical information and interactive maps. When accessing the pages in which Google Maps maps are integrated, Google also collects, processes, and uses data from website visitors.

Your data may also be transferred to the USA. Google has certified itself under the US-EU Privacy Shield agreement and is thus committed to complying with European data protection regulations.

Processing is carried out based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR due to the legitimate interest in the needs-based and targeted design of our website.

For more information about data collection and use by Google, please refer to Google's privacy policy at [https://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html](https://www.google.com/privacypolicy.html). There, you can also adjust your settings in the Privacy Center to manage and protect your data processed by Google.
