We store the IP address provided by your web browser for a period of seven days strictly for the purpose of detecting, limiting and eliminating attacks on our websites. After this period, we delete or anonymise the IP address. The legal basis for this process is Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) of the GDPR.
When you visit our website, usage data is temporarily stored on our web server for statistical purposes. This data is stored in the form of a log file to improve the quality of our websites. This data record consists of
- The page from which the file was requested
- The name of the file
- The date and time of the request

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that can be stored and read on your device. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are saved after each individual session. Cookies may contain data that makes it possible to identify the device used. In some cases, cookies only contain information about certain settings that cannot be traced to a particular individual.
We use session cookies and permanent cookies on our website. Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) of the GDPR with the aim of optimising user navigation and/or making it possible to customise the appearance of our website.
You can set your browser so that it informs you about the placement of cookies. This provides transparency about the use of cookies. You can also delete cookies at any time and prevent the creation of new cookies by configuring your browser accordingly. Please note that our website may not be displayed optimally as a result and some functions may no longer be technically viable.
In order to tailor the design of our website, we create pseudonymous user profiles with the help of Google Analytics. Google Analytics uses cookies that can be stored on your device and read by us. In this way, we are able to recognise and count repeat visitors. Data processing takes place on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) of the GDPR with the aim of determining how often our website was accessed by different users.
The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the USA. However, as we have enabled IP anonymisation on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union. The full IP address will only be sent to a Google server in the USA before being truncated in exceptional cases. In addition, we have concluded an order processing contract with Google Inc. (USA) pursuant to Art. 28 of the GDPR. As a result, Google may only use information for the purpose of evaluating the use of our website on our behalf and for compiling reports on the website activities.
You may object to this data processing at any time. If you wish to raise an objection, please use one of the following options:
- You can prevent the storage of cookies by configuring your browser software settings accordingly; however, please be aware that you may no longer be able to use all the functions of this website in full.
- You may also prevent the collection of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link (http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
- You can also prevent data collection by Google Analytics by clicking on the following link. An opt-out cookie is created that will prevent the future collection of your data when you visit this website:

As we use Google’s cross-device remarketing technologies, you will then receive targeted advertising on other websites based on your visit to our website. Data processing only takes place with your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) of the GDPR. When you visit our website, it is possible that Google will retrieve recognition features for your browser or device (creating a type of browser fingerprint), evaluate your IP address or store a recognition feature in the form of a small text file on your device (known as a third-party cookie). It is also possible that Google will link your visit to our website with one or more of these recognition features and stores a record for future use to allow you to see our advertising on other Internet sites. The above-mentioned recognition features are configured as pseudonyms and can be used by Google to recognise your device on other websites. For example, if you visit a page that participates in the Google Display Network (i.e. displays ads on behalf of Google), Google may recognise your device and browser based on the above features. We may also use “remarketing tags” on our website. This means that we may include keywords on our website that indicate the contents of the displayed page (such as product or service categories). The keywords we use do not contain personal or sensitive information. Google receives and stores these keywords for the above recognition features. When you visit a page that we indexed with a particular keyword for a product category, Google stores that keyword and assigns it to your recognition features. Based on the pages of our website visited, we can then use Google to advertise on other similar websites. If you are visiting another website that participates in the Google Display Network, Google can use the recognition features and keywords stored with these recognition features to determine whether to display our ads and, if so, which advertisements you might wish to see. For more information on how Google remarketing technologies work, see: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads/. If you sign up for Google services with your own login credentials, or use one or more Google accounts, Google can combine the recognition features of different browsers and devices. Therefore, if Google has ever created its own recognition feature for the laptop, desktop, smartphone or tablet you are using, these recognition features can be cross referenced once you have used or accessed a Google service with your login information. This allows Google to display our advertising campaigns outside of these devices in a targeted manner. However, Google will do so only if you have consented to data processing previously. You can object to this form of advertising at any time. Simply visit https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922 and disable personalised advertising. Please note that these settings may not work on all devices and browsers. For more information, please visit https://support.google.com/ads/answer/2662922.
The data controller has integrated Jetpack on this website. Jetpack is a WordPress plug-in, which offers the operator of a website additional functions to those available in WordPress. For example, Jetpack gives the website operator an overview of the visitors to the site. By displaying related posts and publications or providing an option to share content on the site, it is also possible to increase visitor numbers. Security functions are also integrated into Jetpack so that a website using Jetpack is better protected against brute-force attacks. Jetpack also optimises and speeds up the loading of images built into the website.
The operating company of the Jetpack plug-in for WordPress is Automattic Inc., 132 Hawthorne Street, San Francisco, CA 94107, USA. The operating company uses tracking technology from Quantcast Inc., 201 Third Street, San Francisco, CA 94103, USA.
Jetpack places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. An explanation of cookies has already been provided. Each time one of the pages of this website operated by the data controller and on which a Jetpack component has been integrated is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will automatically cause the respective Jetpack component to submit data to Automattic for analysis. As part of this technical process, Automattic receives information about data that will subsequently be used to compile an overview of the website visits. The data obtained is used to analyse the behaviour of the data subject who accessed the data controller’s website and is evaluated with the aim of optimising the website. The data collected through the Jetpack component will not be used to identify the data subject without first obtaining the prior consent of the data subject. The data will also be reported to Quantcast. Quantcast uses the data for the same purposes as Automattic.
The data subject can prevent the creation of cookies through our website at any time, as shown above, using a corresponding setting on the Internet browser and thus permanently eliminate the use of cookies. This setting on the Internet browser would also prevent Automattic/Quantcast from creating a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already set by Automattic can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing recording of the data generated by the Jetpack cookie relating to the use of this website as well as the processing of this data by Automattic/Quantcast. To do so, the data subject must use the opt-out button at https://www.quantcast.com/opt-out/, which creates an opt-out cookie. The opt-out cookie created will be stored on the information technology system used by the data subject. If the cookies on the data subject’s system are deleted following an objection, the data subject must revisit the link and create a new opt-out cookie.
However, the data subject may no longer be able to use the website belonging to the data controller in full following the creation of the opt-out cookie.
See https://automattic.com/privacy/ for Automattic’s current privacy policy. See https://www.quantcast.com/privacy/ for Quantcast’s current privacy policy. The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 (f) of the GDPR (interest in expanding our reach and providing greater protection against brute force attacks).

Our website uses the pixel tracking technology of wiredminds GmbH (www.wiredminds.de) to analyze visitor behavior.
In this process, data may be collected, processed, and stored, from which usage profiles can be created under a pseudonym. Where possible and reasonable, these usage profiles are completely anonymized. Cookies may be used for this purpose. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the visitor’s internet browser and serve to recognize the browser. The collected data, which may also include personal data, is transmitted to wiredminds or directly collected by wiredminds. Wiredminds may use information left by visits to the website to create anonymized usage profiles. The data obtained in this way will not be used to personally identify the visitor of this website without the explicit consent of the individual, nor will it be merged with personal data about the bearer of the pseudonym.
If IP addresses are collected, they are immediately anonymized by deleting the last block of numbers.
OBJECTION LINK (OPT-OUT):
Exclude from tracking.
You are able to contact us via an online form. Before you can use our contact form, we require your name and e-mail address. You may or may not choose to provide further information. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) of the GDPR. Your data will only be processed in order to respond to your request and will be deleted after a period of 7 days, unless your request results in any specific follow-up actions. No data is transmitted to third parties.
You have the option to subscribe to our newsletter online. If you have specifically consented to us sending you information by e-mail about our products and services, processing will be carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) of the GDPR. Your consent may be revoked at any time without affecting the legality of the processing to date. If the consent is revoked, we will cease data processing as appropriate. If you no longer wish to receive a newsletter in the future, you can unsubscribe at any time, for example by sending an e-mail to abmelden@ams-erp.com or by clicking the link to unsubscribe from the newsletter, which you will find in every newsletter email.
For data protection purposes, we do not use social plugins directly on our website. Therefore, when you visit our site, no data will be transmitted to social media services such as Facebook, Twitter, XING or Google+. This prevents profile formation by third parties. You still have the option of sharing selected sites by clicking on the Facebook, Twitter, XING or Google+ buttons, and you can see how often these have been shared in the past when the articles are viewed. We use the Shariff solution developed by c’t magazine to provide a privacy-compliant alternative to the classic social plugins. By using the Shariff solution, all data and functions required to display the Facebook, Twitter, XING or Google+ buttons are initially provided by our web server. Only when you decide to share a post via the corresponding button and click on it, a data transfer is made to the operator of the respective social media service.
