Google Maps

To simplify your journey, we offer you the use of Google Maps to display maps and receive travel directions. Google Maps is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. These pages will be marked accordingly.

When calling up the “Google Maps” component, Google sets a cookie to process user settings and data when displaying the page and the associated functions on which the “Google Maps” component is integrated. As a rule, this cookie is not deleted when you close your browser but expires after a certain period of time (up to 24 months) unless you have previously deleted it.

If you do not agree with this processing, it is possible to deactivate the “Google Maps” service and thus prevent data transfer to Google. To do this, deactivate the Java Script function in your browser. However, we would like to point out that in this case you will not be able to use the map display or will only be able to use it to a limited extent.

By using this service, you consent to the collection, processing and use of the data collected and entered by you by Google. The terms of use for Google Maps can be found at: https://www.google.com/intl/en_ch/help/terms_maps/ (external webpage).

We use Instagram on our website. Instagram is a service from Instagram Inc. The “Insta” button on our site notifies Instagram that you have accessed the appropriate page on our site.

If you are logged in to Instagram, Instagram can assign the visit to our site to your Instagram account and link the data to it. The data transmitted via the “Insta” button is stored by Instagram. For more information about the purpose and scope of the data collection, its processing and use, and the related rights and privacy settings, please refer to the Instagram Privacy Statement at https://help.instagram.com/155833707900388 (external webpage).
