There are contact forms on our website that can be used to contact us electronically. To ensure secure transmission of your data, we use a state-of-the-art encrypted connection with an SSL certificate during transmission. By clicking the "Send request" button, you consent to the transmission of the data entered in the input mask to us. We store your name and e-mail address and any other information you provide so that we can contact you and respond to your request in the best possible way.

Google Maps:
Our website uses the Google Maps map service via an API (application programming interface). The provider of the map service is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA - represented in the EU by Google Ireland Limited Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4 (hereinafter "Google"). As soon as the plugin is loaded via the API, Google processes various data (including your IP address) using cookies and similar technologies. It cannot be ruled out that this information will also be transferred to a server in the USA and stored there. In order to ensure an adequate level of data protection in this case, Google is certified in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list). We as the website operator have no influence on this data transfer. The processing of your information only begins once you have consented to the data processing on our Cookie Consent Manager or have activated the map by clicking on it. By doing so, you give your consent to the processing of your data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time via our Cookie Consent Manager with effect for the future. If you are signed in to your Google Account, Google may add the processed information to your account depending on your account settings. You can find all information about the processing of your data by Google at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en
Google reCaptcha:
Our company uses the reCAPTCHA service from Google Inc (Google) to protect your orders via the Internet form. The query serves to differentiate whether the input is made by a human or abusively by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and any other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there.
By using Google reCAPTCHA, you consent to the transmission of your data to Google. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there.
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCAPTCHA will not be merged with other Google data. The deviating data protection provisions of Google apply to this data.
Further information on Google's privacy policy can be found at https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
You Tube:
We use YouTube, a service provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland, to embed videos. The embedded videos only work if you have previously consented to the processing of your data by YouTube on our Cookie Consent Manager, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR.
As soon as the YouTube video plugin is loaded on our website, Google processes various data (including your IP address) using cookies and similar technologies. It cannot be ruled out that this information will also be transferred to a server in the USA and stored there. In order to ensure an adequate level of data protection in this case, Google is certified in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list). As the website operator, we have no influence on this data transfer.
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future via our Cookie Consent Manager. If you are signed in to your Google Account, Google may add the processed information to your account depending on your account settings.

Mobile Funnel:
We use Mobile Funnel (hereinafter: Funnel), operated by Perspective Software GmbH (hereinafter: Perspective), a company based in Germany, which offers software for the creation and operation of Mobile Funnel (https://smex-ctp.trendmicro.com:443/wis/clicktime/v1/query?url=https%3a%2f%2fperspective.co%2fimpressum&umid=45ce8a19-e874-4f5b-81a1-84257fa13510&auth=6dda7ee16f8f1c732e60be068eff4e2c22bf710b-0af118fb73dfe3f7a1900fd20b0bd154c6c2de1c). The data entered when using the mobile funnel is transmitted via SSL encryption and stored in a database. The funnel is used, for example, to design a job advertisement or a quiz, in which a contact form can also be stored. The funnel is then linked to the CES social media channels, for example. CES is solely responsible for the design of the funnel and thus also for the personal data entered here within the meaning of Art. 24 GDPR. Perspective, on the other hand, is only the operator of the software and, in this context, a processor in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. The basis for the processing by Perspective is an order processing contract between CES and Perspective. In addition, Perspective Software GmbH processes further data, some of which may also be personal data, in order to provide its services, in particular for the operation of the Mobile Funnel. You can find all information on this in Perspective's privacy policy at https://perspective.co/datenschutzerklaerung/
Tracking tools:
Use of Matomo
Our website uses Matomo, an open source web analysis service. Matomo uses your device fingerprint to analyze your usage behavior on our website. Information is stored in the device fingerprint, which Matomo recognizes as a unique "fingerprint" the next time you visit our website. Your data is immediately anonymized during this process and randomly changed every 24 hours so that you as a user remain anonymous to us. The information used for the purpose of website optimization is stored on our server. We carry out this type of reach measurement and analysis as part of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR. The server on which the data is stored is hosted by a service provider. The legal basis for forwarding the data for this purpose is a data processing agreement in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR.
The following information is stored in the device fingerprint
- Information on locations (continent, country, city, browser language)
- Device (type, model, screen resolution)
- Software (operating system, browser, browser plug-ins)
- (anonymized) IP address
- Server request times
- Links from other websites (referrers)
If you do not agree to the storage and analysis of this data from your visit, you can object to the storage and use by clicking on the mouse. In this case, a so-called opt-out cookie is stored in your browser, which means that Matomo does not collect any session data. Please note: If you delete your cookies, the opt-out cookie will also be deleted and may have to be reactivated by you. You can deactivate data collection by Matomo at the end of this privacy policy. If your browser supports "do-not-track" technology and you have activated it, your visit will be automatically ignored.
Use of LinkedIn Analytics / Ads
We use LinkedIn Analytics / Ads on our website. These are services provided by LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Gardner House 2, Wilton PI, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter "LinkedIn").
We use the services to track conversions, retarget our website visitors and gain additional information about the people who view our advertisements. Among other things, this helps us to better target advertising outside our website and thus improve the relevance of our ads.
The referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties as well as the timestamp are recorded and processed by LinkedIn as part of the analysis. The IP addresses are shortened or hashed and direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are removed within seven days in order to pseudonymize the data. The remaining pseudonymized data is deleted within 90 days. LinkedIn itself does not share any personal data with us, but merely evaluates your data and sends us statistical reports and messages (in which you can no longer be identified by us).
It cannot be ruled out that this information will also be transferred to a server in the USA and stored there. To ensure an adequate level of data protection in this case, LinkedIn is certified in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/list). As the website operator, we have no influence on this data transfer.
The personal data of our website visitors is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR and within the scope of your voluntarily given consent. You can revoke your consent at any time free of charge via our Cookie Consent Manager.
LinkedIn members can also control the use of their personal data for advertising purposes in their account settings at https://www.linkedin.com/psettings/advertising/actions-that-showed-interest.
Further information on the processing of personal data by LinkedIn can be found in LinkedIn's data protection information at https://de.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy.
Social media plugins:
Our website does not use any social media plugins. However, we do use links to social media platforms on which we are represented.
