1. What are Cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or other device when you visit a website. With each subsequent visit, they are sent back to our website or to another third-party website that recognizes the Cookie.

Cookies enable us, for example, to recognize your device when you return to our website, remember your preferences and choices, improve your user experience, and customize our marketing on our pages and in other possible services.

2. Cookies we use

Our site uses different types of Cookies. They can be categorized by their duration and purpose of use.

In terms of duration, we use both temporary and persistent Cookies. Temporary Cookies only last until you close your browser. We also use persistent Cookies, which remain for a longer, predefined period.

Essential Cookies

Some Cookies are essential for the technical operation and use of our site. These particular Cookies do not collect user information that could be used for marketing or remembering sites chosen by the user.

Performance measurement

Our performance Cookies collect information about how users use our website (e.g., most visited pages). These Cookies do not collect identifiable information; they are stored anonymously and are used only to improve website functionality.

Our website uses Google Analytics Cookies. The information collected by these Cookies is transferred and stored on the service provider's servers, some of which may be located outside the EU and, in this case, are subject to local data protection legislation. 

Functional

Functional Cookies allow our website to remember your choices (language or region) and provide better and more personalized features.

Third-party Cookies

Our pages feature buttons that facilitate content sharing to various online communication environments and social media. If you use these aforementioned buttons, a Cookie may be set on your device by the service you selected. These Cookies are not under our control. For more information on the use of third-party Cookies, please visit the website of the respective service.

Our website may accept Cookies from these third-party services. These may include, for example, Facebook or Google services.

3. How to manage Cookies?

Most web browsers accept Cookies, but you can usually change these browser settings yourself to block the storage of new Cookies, delete existing Cookies, or request notification when new Cookies are stored.

If you want your browser to block the use of Cookies, configure the settings according to your browser manufacturer's instructions (usually in the Help, Tools, or Edit menu).

If you block the storage of Cookies or disable them, some functions of our website may not work. Disabling a Cookie or a Cookie category does not yet delete the Cookie from your browser; you must do this yourself through your browser. You can get instructions for this from your browser provider.
