The cookie is used to store information that results from the respective context of the specific end device used. However, this shall not mean that we directly gain knowledge of your identity in this manner.

On our website, we use Google Maps API, a Google map service, for the purpose of displaying an interactive map. Google Maps is operated by Google (Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Irland).

Google receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding subpage of our website. Through the use of Google Maps, this information can be transferred to a Google service in the United States of America and stored there. As the case may be, Google will transfer the information obtained through Google Maps to third parties, insofar as such is prescribed by law or to the extent that third parties process these data on behalf of Google.

You may find the terms and conditions for use of Google Maps here: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/help/terms_maps.html. You may find the settings options for protection of your personal privacy here: http://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy.
