Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use “cookies“. Cookies are small text files that are transferred by a website server to your hard drive. This automatically gives us certain data, such as the IP address, the browser used, operating system and your connection to the internet.

SSL encryption

To protect the security of your data when it is transferred, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (such as SSL) via HTTPS.

Contact form

If you contact us by email or with our contact form with questions of any kind, you provide us with your voluntary consent for the purpose of establishing contact. In this respect, the provision of a valid email address is required. This serves the purpose of the allocation of the enquiry and its subsequent response. The provision of further data is optional. The information that you provide will be saved for the purposes of processing your enquiry and for possible subsequent questions. Once the enquiry you made has been resolved, your personal data will be automatically erased.

Google Analytics

If you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”) is used on this website. The use includes the “Universal Analytics” operating mode. This makes it possible to assign data, sessions and interactions across multiple devices to a pseudonymous user ID and thus analyze a user’s activities across devices. This data protection notice is provided by www.intersoft-consulting.de.

Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files placed on your computer, to help the website analyze how users interact with the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymisation is activated on this website, Google will reduce your IP address within Member States of the European Union or in other states party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area beforehand. We would like to point out that on this website Google Analytics has been extended to include IP anonymisation in order to ensure anonymous collection of IP addresses (so-called IP masking). The IP address transmitted by your browser in the context of Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data. For more information on terms of use and data protection, please visit https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/gb.html or https://policies.google.com/?hl=en.
