We may also collect details of your visit to our Site and the pages you access, including, but not limited to, traffic data, location data, weblogs and other communication data, including your IP address, browser type, the date and time you accessed or left the Sites, and which pages you viewed. Some parts of our Site use cookies and other technologies to collect this information about your general internet usage. See the section below called “How We Use Tracking Technologies” to learn more.
Why We Collect Information
We use your information for the following purposes:
To present our Services to you;
To provide you with information that you request from us;
To allow you to participate in any interactive features on our Services;
To perform analytics to learn about the behavior of our Service users or otherwise improve our Services;

How We Use Tracking Technologies
We use cookies (small text files stored in your browser) and other techniques such as web beacons (small, clear picture files used to follow your online activities) (“Tracking Technologies”). Tracking Technologies collect information that tells us how you use our Site, web-related products and Services. The use of Tracking Technologies does not give us access to the rest of your computer.
This, in turn, helps us make our Services relevant to your interests and needs. We use a number of different Tracking Technologies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies.
You can at any time change or withdraw your consent from the Cookie Declaration on our website.
We also use various third-party tools on our website, including:
1. Matomo
Matomo, 7 Waterloo Quay, PO Box 625, 6140 Wellington, New Zealand, is a web analytics software platform used for tracking on the website. It provides detailed reports on website functionality and user behavior. Matomo is used in a privacy-friendly version on the website, meaning no cookies are set.
2. Plausible
Plausible, Plausible Insights OÜ Västriku tn 2, 50403, Tartu, Estonia, is also a web analytics software platform used for tracking on the website. Plausible enhances tracking with cookies and enables a detailed and personalized user experience by tracking behavior across multiple visits and allowing targeted advertising based on individual preferences.
Cookies are set, and IP addresses are collected and stored.
3. Algolia
Algolia, 3790 El Camino Real, Unit #518, Palo Alto, CA 94306, USA, is an AI-powered search engine that supports users with intelligent search functionality.
IP addresses are collected by Brückner for this purpose. A direct search via Algolia only occurs upon explicit user request, which may result in data being transferred to Algolia, Inc. in the USA.
More information: https://www.algolia.com/policies/privacy
4. Friendly Captcha
We use forms on some pages. To secure these forms, we use the tool Friendly Captcha, Am Anger 3-5, 82237 Wörthsee, Germany. The captcha ensures that forms are not filled with spam by bots, for example, preventing a bot from submitting the form thousands of times.
5. IP-Stack
IP-Stack, 4001 W. Parmer Lane, Suite 125, Austin, TX 78727, USA, provides APIs for geolocating website visitors based on their IP address, enabling relevant offers/services based on individual location.
We use IP-Stack in a way that shortens IP addresses, making it impossible to trace them back to a specific person.
6. OpenStreetMap
OpenStreetMap enables user-friendly display of interactive maps and location-based information.
The IP address of the accessing computer is collected and stored.
You can give, reject, or withdraw your consent to share your data with these third-party tools at any time via the Consent Manager. Further information about the tools and cookies used, especially regarding their respective storage durations, can also be found in our Consent Manager.
