Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored in the Internet browser or the Internet browser on the computer system of the user. If a user calls up a website, then a cookie can be stored on the operating system of the user. This cookie includes a characteristic character string which enables an unambiguous identification of the browser when visiting the website again.
We use cookies in order to structure our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our Internet page require that the calling browser can be also identified after a site change.
Technically necessary cookies are not required as mandatory to display the website. However, some functions of the website, such as e.g. the online Campus and registration for seminars etc., cannot be used properly without these cookies. Conse,quently no possibility of objection exists for the user, where a deactivation this cookies can be carried out by settings on the respective browser.
Cookies for range measurement collect information about the manner of use of our website, e.g. website call-ups or error messages. These cookies store no information items which would allow an identification of the user. The collated information is exclusively aggregated and thus evaluated anonymously.

This website uses Google Tag Manager. Google Tag Manager is a solution with which the marketer can manage the website tags over an interface. Google Tag Manager itself (which implements the tags) is a cookie-free domain and does not record any personal data. The tool ensures the activation of other tags, which for their part may record data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If a deactivation was carried out on domain or cookie level, this continues to exist for all existing tracking tags which are implemented with Google Tag Manager.
This website uses Google Analytics. By order of the operator of this website, Google will evaluate your use of the website in order to compile reports about website activities and to provide further services connected with website use and Internet use, with respect to the website operator.
Since the co-ordination of the Hamburg representative for data protection and freedom of information with Google, on the basis of the decision of Duesseldorf District relating to the structuring of analysis processes for range measurement in case of Internet offers consistent with data protection, a use of Google Analytics consistent with data protection and complaint-free is possible under certain conditions. We respect these prerequisites of course. In particular, we point out that, on this website, Google Analytics was extended by the code “gat._anonymizeIp(); in order to guarantee an anonymised recording of IP addresses (so-called IP-Masking). Your IP address is shortened by Google within Member States of the European Union or in other treaty states of the Agreement on the European Economic Region. In exceptional cases only, the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. The IP address sent by Google Analytics within the framework of your browser is not combined with other data of Google. Please find further information on conditions of use and data protection at https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html or at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/.
Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files which are stored on your computer. The information about your use of this website generated by the cookie is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. You can prevent the storage of cookies through a corresponding adjustment of your browser software; however, we point out that possibly you will be not be able to use all functions of this website fully in this case. In addition, you can prevent the recording of the data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (incl. your IP address) by Google, as well as the processing of this data by Google, where you download and install the Browser-Add-on. If you click here, an Opt-Out cookie is set, which prevents the future recording of your data during any visit to this website: Deactivate Google Analytics.
In addition, we use Google Conversion Tracking in association with Google Analytics. This enables us to record the characteristics of our website visitors. For example, it is indicated to us how many PDF’s on our website are downloaded or how often the contact form was filled out. Like,wise it is indicated to us how many clicks on advertisements from external sources (AdWords, LinkedIn, Xing, Bing) were made on our website.
In order to draw attention to our services, we switch Google-Adwords displays and, within this framework, use Google Conversion-Tracking for the objective of a personalised, interest-oriented and location-related online advertising. The option for anonymising the IP addresses is controlled by Google Tag Manager over an internal adjustment, which that is not visible in the source of this page. This internal adjustment is set so that an anonymisation of the IP addresses is achieved in compliance with data-protection law.
The displays are overlaid after search inquiries on websites of Google Advertising Network. We have the possibility to combine our displays with certain search keys. With the aid of cookies, we can switch displays based on the preceding visits of a user to our website.
With a click on a display, a cookie is set by Google on the computer of the user. Please also find further information on the cookie technology used with the references of Google to the Website Statistics and in the Data Protection Stipulations.
With the aid of this technology, Google and ourselves as a customer are provided with information that a user is clicking on a display and is being transferred to our websites. The information obtained here is used exclusively for a statistical assessment for display optimisation. We are not provided with any information whereby visitors can be identified in person. The statistics made available to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our displays and, as appropriate, whether they were forwarded to a page of our website provided with a conversion tag. By means of these statistics, we can track with which search keys our display was clicked especially often, and which displays lead to an establishing of contact using the contact form by the user.
If you do not wish this, you can suppress the storage of the cookies required for this technology, for example using settings on your browser. In this case, your visit does not enter the user statistics.
Furthermore, over the Display Setting, you have the possibility to deselect the types of Google displays and/or to deactivate interest-related displays on Google. As an alternative, you can deactivate the utilisation of cookies by third-party providers, where you call up the Deactivation Help of the network advertising initiatives.
However, we and Google are provided with further statistical information on how many users visited this site and when. If you do not wish to be recorded in these statistics, you can suppress this with the aid of additional programs for your browser (for example the add-on Ghostery).
We use dynamic remarketing on our website – a function of Google AdWords. The technology, after your visit to our website, enables us to switch automatically-generated, target-group-oriented advertising. The displays are based on the products and services which were clicked on during the last visit to our website.
In order to generate interest-based displays, Google uses cookies. In this case, Google usually stores information such as your web inquiry, the IP address, the browser type, the browser language, as well as the date and time of your inquiry. This information serves only for the assignment of the web browser to a certain computer. It cannot be used for identifying a person.
If you do not want to receive any user-based advertising from Google, you can deactivate the switching of advertisements with the aid of the Display Setting of Google.
Further information on how Google uses cookies can be found in the Data Protection Declaration of Google.
We use DoubleClick, a service of Google Inc. DoubleClick uses cookies in order to switch user-based advertisements. The cookies identify which displays are already switched in your browser and whether you have called up a website over a switched display. The cookies do not record any personal information in this case and cannot be brought in contact with such information.
If you do not want to be provided with any user-based advertising, you can deactivate the switching of advertisements with the aid of the Display Setting of Google.
Further information on how Google uses cookies can be found in the Data Protection Declaration of Google.
You have the possibility to contact us via our e-mail address or the contact form. We will of course use any personal data sent to us in this manner solely for the purpose intended.
A forwarding of your personal data to third parties for any objectives other than those listed does not occur.
We pass on your personal data to third parties only if:
– you have given your explicit consent to this
– the transfer is required for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and no basis exists for the assumption that you have a majority interest worthy of being protected in the non-transfer of your data,
– For the case where a legal obligation exists for the forwarding, as well as
– where this is legally admissible and required for the handling of contractual relationships with you.
In case of data communication outside of the European Union, the high European data-protection level basically does not exist. With any transfer, it can be that there currently exists no adequacy decision of the EU Commission, as specified by Art. 45 Sect. 1, 3 GDPR. This means that, to date, the EU Commission has not positively determined that the national data protection level corresponds to the data protection level of the European Union based on the GDPR, therefore we have obtained suitable guarantees as designated above.
Possible risks which cannot be completely excluded in connection with data communication are in particular:
– your personal data could possibly be processed over and above the actual purpose.
– in addition, there exists the possibility that you cannot exercise and enforce your data-protection rights sustainably, such as for example your right to information, to correction, deletion or data portability.
– there also possibly exists a high probability that an incorrect data processing can result and the protection of the personal data does not correspond quantitatively and qualitatively fully to the requirements of the GDPR.
For the continuous improvement of our website, for advertising purposes and in order to enable certain functions of this website to be offered to you, we are instructed with the employment of processors.
All processors are obliged here to process the data only for the service provision actually defined by us. All processors were selected by us carefully and sufficient technical and organisational measures were put in place in order to guarantee data protection.
Every person affected has the right of access according to Art. 15 GDPR, the right to rectification according to Art. 16 GDPR, the right to erasure according to Article 17 GDPR, the right to restriction of processing according to GDPR Art. 18, the right to object from Art. 21 GDPR, as well as the right to data portability from Art. 20 GDPR. In case of the right to of access and the right to erasure, restrictions apply pursuant to § 34 and 35 BDSG.
Furthermore, you have the right to complain to the responsible data-protection supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us.
You can withdraw any consent to the processing of personal data at any time with respect to us. This also applies for the revocation of consent declarations which have been made before the validity of the basic data protection regulation (before 25th May 2018) with respect to us. Please note that the withdrawal effects the future. Any processing implemented prior to the withdrawal is not affected by this.
In accordance with Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR, you have the right to make an objection at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you. In case of your objection to processing for purposes of direct advertising, we will not process your personal data for these objectives any longer. Please note that the objection comes into effect for the future only. Any processing implemented prior to the objection is not affected by this.
As far as we base the processing of your personal data on a weighting of interests, you can make an objection to the processing. In case of the exercise of such an objection, we request that you explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as described. In case of your reasonable objection, we check the state of affairs and will either cease or adapt the data processing, or explain to you our compelling reasons worth being protected.
Our websites can include links to websites of other providers. We refer to the fact that this data protection declaration applies for the websites of www.frankfurt-school.de solely. We do not have any influence on this and do not check that other providers comply with the applicable data protection regulations.
We reserve the right to change or amend this data protection declaration at any time, taking account of applicable data protection regulations.
