5) Cookies
To make visiting our website attractive and to enable the use of certain functions, we use so-called cookies on various pages. These are small text files that are stored on your end device. Some of the cookies we use are deleted after the end of the browser session, i.e. after you close your browser (so-called session cookies). Other cookies remain on your end device and enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit (so-called persistent cookies). If cookies are set, they collect and process specific user information such as browser and location data and IP address values to an individual extent. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can find the duration of the respective cookie storage in the overview of the cookie settings of your web browser.
In some cases, cookies are used to simplify the ordering process by storing settings (e.g. remembering the content of a virtual shopping cart for a later visit to the website). If individual cookies used by us also process personal data, the processing is carried out either in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR for the execution of the contract, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR in the case of a given consent, or in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the website visit.

6) Contacting us
6.1 When you contact us (e.g., via contact form or email), personal data is collected. Which data is collected in the case of a contact form is evident from the respective contact form. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, then the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request. This is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no legal storage obligations to the contrary.
6.2 WhatsApp Business
We offer visitors to our website the opportunity to contact us via the messaging service WhatsApp of WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called "Business version" of WhatsApp.
If you contact us via WhatsApp in connection with a specific business (e.g., an order placed), we store and use your mobile phone number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. GDPR to process and respond to your request. On the basis of the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address or email address) in order to be able to assign your request to a specific process.
If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g., about the range of services, availability or our website), we store and use your mobile phone number used on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the desired information.
Your data will always only be used to answer your request via WhatsApp. No disclosure to third parties takes place.
Please note that WhatsApp Business gains access to the address book of the mobile device used by us for this purpose and automatically transmits phone numbers stored in the address book to a server of the parent company Facebook Inc. in the USA. For the operation of our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book only stores the WhatsApp contact data of users who have also contacted us via WhatsApp.
This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transmission of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR when first using the app on their device by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use. The transmission of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is thus excluded.
Facebook Inc., based in the USA, is certified under the US-European "Privacy Shield" data protection agreement, which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy
7) Online appointment booking
We process your personal data within the framework of the online appointment booking provided. Which data we collect for online appointment booking can be seen from the respective input form or the appointment query for booking an appointment. If certain data is necessary to be able to make an online appointment, we mark this accordingly in the input form or during the appointment query. If we provide you with a free text field in the input form, you can describe your request in more detail there. You can then also control which additional data you wish to enter.
Your submitted data will be stored and used exclusively for the purpose of scheduling appointments. When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract with you (this also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. If you have given us consent for the processing of your data, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Granted consent can be revoked at any time by a message to the controller mentioned at the beginning of this declaration.
8) Data processing when opening a customer account and for contract execution

Which data is collected can be seen from the respective input forms. Your customer account can be deleted at any time by sending a message to the above-mentioned address of the controller. We store and use the data you provide for contract execution. After complete execution of the contract or deletion of your customer account, your data will be blocked with regard to tax and commercial retention periods and deleted after these periods have expired, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or a legally permitted further data use by us has been reserved.
9) Comment function
When using the comment function on this website, in addition to your comment, information about the time the comment was created and your chosen commentator name will be stored and published on this website. Furthermore, your IP address will be logged and stored. This storage of the IP address is carried out for security reasons and in the event that the person concerned violates the rights of third parties or posts illegal content through a comment.

We reserve the right to delete comments if they are complained about by third parties as illegal.
10) Use of your data for direct marketing
10.1 Subscription to our email newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The mandatory information for sending the newsletter is solely your email address. The provision of further data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. For sending the newsletter, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter if you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter in the future by clicking on a corresponding link.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we store your IP address entered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data collected by us when you subscribe to the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purpose of promotional addressing by means of the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller mentioned at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this declaration.
10.2 Sending email newsletters to existing customers
If you have provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to regularly send you offers for similar goods or services from our range to those you have already purchased via email. For this, we do not need to obtain separate consent from you in accordance with Section 7 (3) UWG. Data processing in this respect is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct advertising in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If you have initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails. You are entitled to object to the use of your email address for the aforementioned advertising purpose at any time with effect for the future by sending a message to the controller mentioned at the beginning. For this, you will only incur transmission costs according to the basic tariffs. After receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for advertising purposes will be stopped immediately.
10.3 Newsletter dispatch via MailChimp
Our email newsletters are sent via the technical service provider The Rocket Science Group, LLC d/b/a MailChimp, 675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE, Suite 5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA (http://www.mailchimp.com/), to whom we transmit your data provided during newsletter registration. This transmission is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in the use of an advertising-effective, secure, and user-friendly newsletter system. Please note that your data is usually transmitted to a MailChimp server in the USA and stored there.
MailChimp uses this information to send and statistically evaluate newsletters on our behalf. For evaluation, the sent e-mails include so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links, if any, have been clicked. With the help of web beacons, Mailchimp automatically generates general, non-personal statistics about the reaction behavior to newsletter campaigns. Based on our legitimate interest in the statistical evaluation of newsletter campaigns to optimize promotional communication and better align it with recipient interests, data of the respective newsletter recipient (email address, time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system) is also collected and used by the web beacons in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit f GDPR.This data allows for an individual conclusion to be drawn about the newsletter recipient and is processed by Mailchimp for the automated creation of statistics that reveal whether a specific recipient has opened a newsletter message.
If you wish to deactivate data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
MailChimp may also use this data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on its own legitimate interest in the needs-based design and optimization of the service, as well as for market research purposes, for example, to determine which countries recipients are from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to send them messages themselves or to pass them on to third parties.
To protect your data in the USA, we have concluded a Data Processing Agreement with MailChimp based on the European Commission's standard contractual clauses to enable the transfer of your personal data to MailChimp. This data processing agreement can be viewed at the following internet address if you are interested: https://mailchimp.com/legal/data-processing-addendum/
MailChimp is also certified under the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield" and thus undertakes to comply with EU data protection regulations.
You can view MailChimp's privacy policy here:

10.4 WhatsApp Newsletter
If you subscribe to our WhatsApp newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers via WhatsApp. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your mobile phone number.
To send the newsletter, you add our communicated mobile phone number to the address contacts of your mobile device and send us the message "Start" via WhatsApp. By sending this WhatsApp message, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR for the purpose of sending newsletters. We will then add you to our newsletter distribution list.
The data we collect when you subscribe to the newsletter is processed exclusively for the purpose of promotional outreach via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending us the message "Stop" via WhatsApp. After unsubscribing, your mobile phone number will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.
Please note that WhatsApp gains access to the address book of the mobile device we use for sending newsletters and automatically transfers telephone numbers stored in the address book to a Facebook server in the USA.
For sending our WhatsApp newsletter, we therefore use a mobile device whose address book exclusively stores the WhatsApp contact data of our newsletter recipients. This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact data is stored in our address book has already consented to the transfer of their WhatsApp telephone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp terms of use when first using the app on their device. A transfer of data of users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is thus excluded.
Facebook Inc., as the owner of WhatsApp, based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which ensures compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
For the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your related rights and setting options for protecting your privacy, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy
10.5 Advertising by post

The only mandatory information for sending this notification is your email address. The provision of further data is voluntary and may be used to address you personally. For sending this notification, we use the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you a corresponding notification if you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to receiving such a message. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm that you wish to receive such a notification by clicking on a corresponding link.
By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent for the use of your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. When you register for our email notification service for product availability, we store your IP address registered by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration, in order to be able to trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data collected by us when registering for our email notification service for product availability is used exclusively for the purpose of informing you about the availability of a specific item in our online shop. You can unsubscribe from the email notification service for product availability at any time by sending a corresponding message to the controller mentioned at the beginning. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our distribution list set up for this purpose, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to further data use that is legally permitted and about which we inform you in this statement.

Insofar as score values are included in the result of the credit check, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical procedure. Address data, among other things, but not exclusively, are included in the calculation of the score values.

Data protection information on Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. can be found here: https://stripe.com/de/privacy
12) Use of Social Media: Videos
Use of YouTube Videos
This website uses the YouTube embedding function to display and play videos from the provider "YouTube", which belongs to Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google").
The extended data protection mode is used here, which, according to the provider, only initiates the storage of user information when the video(s) are played. If the playback of embedded YouTube videos is started, the provider "YouTube" uses cookies to collect information about user behavior. According to "YouTube", these are used, among other things, to record video statistics, improve user-friendliness and prevent abusive behavior. If you are logged into Google, your data will be directly assigned to your account when you click on a video. If you do not wish for your profile on YouTube to be associated with your data, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates these. Such an evaluation is carried out in particular in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interests in displaying personalized advertising, market research and/or tailoring its website to demand. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, for the exercise of which you must contact YouTube. When using YouTube, personal data may also be transmitted to Google LLC servers in the USA.
Regardless of whether embedded videos are played, a connection to the Google network is established each time this website is accessed, which can trigger further data processing operations without our influence.
In the event of the transfer of personal data to Google LLC, based in the USA, Google LLC has certified itself for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which ensures compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU. A current certificate can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list
Further information on data protection at "YouTube" can be found in the provider's privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy
Insofar as legally required, we have obtained your consent for the processing of your data described above in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the possibility described above for making an objection.
13) Online Marketing
13.1 Facebook Pixel for creating Custom Audiences with extended data matching
Within our online offering, the so-called "Facebook Pixel" of the social network Facebook is used in the extended data matching mode, which is operated by Facebook Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Facebook").
Based on their explicit consent, if a user clicks on an advertisement placed by us on Facebook, an addition is made to the URL of our linked page by Facebook Pixel. This URL parameter is then written into the user's browser via a cookie after redirection, which our linked page itself sets. In addition, this cookie collects specific customer data, such as the email address, which we collect on our page linked to the Facebook ad during processes such as purchases, account logins, or registrations (extended data matching). The cookie is then read by Facebook Pixel and enables the data, including the specific customer data, to be forwarded to Facebook.
With the help of the Facebook Pixel with extended data matching, Facebook is able to precisely determine the visitors to our online offering as a target group for displaying ads (so-called "Facebook Ads"). Accordingly, we use the Facebook Pixel with extended data matching to display the Facebook Ads placed by us only to Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain characteristics (e.g., interests in certain topics or products, which are determined based on the visited websites) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "Custom Audiences"). With the help of the Facebook Pixel with extended data matching, we also want to ensure that our Facebook Ads correspond to the potential interest of the users and do not appear annoying. This also allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of the Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by tracking whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad (so-called "conversion"). Compared to the standard version of Facebook Pixel, the extended data matching feature helps us to better measure the effectiveness of our advertising campaigns by capturing more attributed conversions.
All transmitted data is stored and processed by Facebook, so that a connection to the respective user profile is possible and Facebook can use the data for its own advertising purposes, in accordance with Facebook's Data Policy (https://www.facebook.com/about/privacy/). The data can enable Facebook and its partners to place advertisements on and off Facebook.
These processing operations are carried out exclusively upon receipt of explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
Consent to the use of the Facebook Pixel may only be given by users who are older than 13 years old. If you are younger, please ask your parents for permission.
The information generated by Facebook is usually transferred to a Facebook server and stored there; this may also involve a transfer to the servers of Facebook Inc. in the USA. Facebook Inc., based in the USA, is certified for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which ensures compliance with the data protection level applicable in the EU.
You can revoke your consent at any time by deactivating Facebook Pixel tracking. To do this, you can set an opt-out cookie by clicking on the link below, which deactivates Facebook Pixel tracking:
<a href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="if (typeof fbpOptOut == 'function') { fbpOptOut(); } else { alert(atob('QUNIVFVORzogRmVobGVuZGVyIEZhY2Vib29rLVBpeGVsIE9wdE91dC1Db2RlIQ==')); }">Deactivate Facebook Pixel</a>
This opt-out cookie only works in this browser and only for this domain. If you delete your cookies in this browser, you will have to click the link above again.
13.2 Use of Google Ads Conversion Tracking
This website uses the online advertising program "Google Ads" and, within the framework of Google Ads, the conversion tracking of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("Google"). We use the Google Ads offering to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites with the help of advertising materials (so-called Google Adwords). We can determine how successful the individual advertising measures are in relation to the campaign data. Our aim is to show you advertising that is of interest to you, to make our website more interesting for you and to achieve a fair calculation of the advertising costs incurred.
The cookie for conversion tracking is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies usually expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification.If the user visits certain pages of this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user has clicked on the ad and has been redirected to this page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information obtained with the help of the conversion cookie is used to create conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this use by deactivating the Google conversion tracking cookie via your internet browser under "User settings". You will then not be included in the conversion tracking statistics. We use Google Ads based on our legitimate interest in targeted advertising in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. In the context of using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC servers in the USA.
In the event of the transfer of personal data to Google LLC, based in the USA, Google LLC has certified itself for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU. A current certificate can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list
Further information on Google's data protection policy can be found at the following internet address: https://www.google.de/policies/privacy/
You can permanently deactivate cookies for ad preferences by preventing them through a corresponding setting in your browser software or by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available at the following link:

16) Tools and Others
16.1 Cookie Consent Tool based on Usercentrics technology
This website uses a cookie consent tool with technology from Usercentrics GmbH, Rosental 4, 80331 Munich (hereinafter "Usercentrics") to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent.
By integrating a corresponding JavaScript code, a banner is displayed to users when they access the page, in which consents for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by checking a box. The tool blocks the setting of all cookies requiring consent until the respective user has given corresponding consent by checking a box. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on the respective user's end device if consent has been given.
In order for the cookie consent tool to be able to uniquely assign page views to individual users and to individually record, log, and store the consent settings made by the user for a session duration, certain user information (including the IP address) is collected by the cookie consent tool when our website is accessed, transmitted to Usercentrics servers, and stored there.
These data processing operations are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus in a legally compliant design of our website.
Further legal basis for the described data processing is also Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As the data controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically non-essential cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.
We have concluded an order processing agreement with Usercentrics, in which we oblige Usercentrics to protect the data of visitors to our website and not to pass it on to third parties.

16.4 Job applications by email
On our website, we advertise currently vacant positions in a separate section, for which interested parties can apply by email to the provided contact address.
Inclusion in the application process requires applicants to provide us with all personal data necessary for a well-founded and informed assessment and selection, together with the application by email.
The required information includes general personal information (name, address, telephone or electronic contact details) as well as performance-specific proof of the qualifications required for a position. Health-related information that must be given special consideration under labor and social law in the person of the applicant in the interest of social protection may also be required.
Which components an application must contain in an individual case for its eligibility and in what form these components must be submitted by email can be found in the respective job advertisement.
After receipt of the application sent using the specified email contact address, the applicant data will be stored by us and evaluated exclusively for the purpose of processing the application. For inquiries arising during processing, we will use either the email address provided by the applicant with their application or a specified telephone number, at our discretion.
The legal basis for these processing operations, including contacting for inquiries, is generally Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR in conjunction with Section 26 para. 1 BDSG, in the sense that the application process is considered to be the initiation of an employment contract.
If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR (e.g. health data such as information on severe disability) are requested from applicants in the context of the application process, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. b.GDPR, so that we can exercise the rights arising from labor law and the law of social security and social protection, and fulfill our corresponding obligations.
Cumulatively or alternatively, the processing of special categories of data can also be based on Art. 9 Para. 1 lit. h GDPR if it is carried out for purposes of preventive health care or occupational medicine, for the assessment of the applicant's working capacity, for medical diagnostics, the provision or treatment in the health or social sector, or for the management of systems and services in the health or social sector.
If the above-described evaluation does not lead to a selection of the applicant, or if an applicant withdraws their application prematurely, their data transmitted by email, as well as all electronic correspondence, including the original application email, will be deleted after a corresponding notification no later than 6 months. This period is based on our legitimate interest in answering any follow-up questions regarding the application and, if necessary, fulfilling our obligations to provide evidence under the provisions for equal treatment of applicants.
In the event of a successful application, the provided data will be further processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR in conjunction with § 26 Para. 1 BDSG for the purposes of carrying out the employment relationship.
16.5 - Google Maps
On our website, we use Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Google Maps is a web service for displaying interactive (country) maps to visually represent geographical information. By using this service, you can see our location and make it easier to find us.
Already when accessing the sub-pages that contain the Google Maps map, information about your use of our website (such as your IP address) is transmitted to and stored on Google's servers; this may also include transmission to the servers of Google LLC. in the USA. This occurs regardless of whether Google provides a user account through which you are logged in or whether a user account exists. If you are logged in to Google, your data will be directly associated with your account. If you do not wish to be associated with your profile on Google, you must log out before activating the button. Google stores your data (even for users who are not logged in) as usage profiles and evaluates them. The collection, storage, and evaluation are carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of Google's legitimate interest in displaying personalized advertising, market research, and/or tailoring Google websites to meet demand. You have a right to object to the creation of these user profiles, for the exercise of which you must contact Google.
In the event of the transfer of personal data to Google LLC. based in the USA, Google LLC. has certified itself for the US-European data protection agreement "Privacy Shield", which ensures compliance with the level of data protection applicable in the EU. A current certificate can be viewed here: https://www.privacyshield.gov/list
If you do not agree to the future transfer of your data to Google within the framework of using Google Maps, it is also possible to completely deactivate the Google Maps web service by switching off the JavaScript application in your browser. Google Maps and thus also the map display on this website can then no longer be used.
You can view Google's terms of use at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/terms/regional.html, and the additional terms of use for Google Maps can be found at https://www.google.com/intl/de_US/help/terms_maps.html

You can revoke your given consent at any time with effect for the future. To exercise your revocation, please follow the possibility described above for raising an objection.
