Cookie Information

The following text is provided for explanatory purposes only, as we use only technically necessary cookies on this website that are required for the proper functioning of the site.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small files that allow specific, device-related information to be stored on the user’s device (PC, smartphone, etc.). On the one hand, they serve to enhance the user-friendliness of websites and thus benefit users (e.g., by storing login data).
On the other hand, they are used to collect statistical data on website usage and analyze it in order to improve the website’s offerings. Users can control the use of cookies.

Browser Options

Most browsers have an option to restrict or completely prevent the storage of cookies. However, please note that the use of the website—and in particular the user experience—will be limited without cookies.
You can manage many online advertising cookies from companies via the U.S. website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/ .

 

Cookies on these pages

a) Session cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your device by the web browser you are using.

These cookies process certain information about you to a specific extent, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective, and secure, as it enables, for example, the display of our website in different languages or the provision of a shopping cart feature.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided that these cookies process data for the purpose of initiating or fulfilling a contract.

If the processing does not serve the purpose of initiating or fulfilling a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. The legal basis in this case is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your web browser.

 

b) Third-Party Cookies

Where applicable, our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we collaborate for the purposes of advertising, analysis, or the functionality of our website.

For details on this, particularly regarding the purposes and legal bases for processing such third-party cookies, please refer to the information below.

 
c) Audience Measurement

This website uses cookies for pseudonymized audience measurement, which are transmitted to the user’s browser either from our server or from a third-party server. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies improves the user-friendliness and security of this website.

If you do not want cookies for audience measurement to be stored on your device, you can opt out of the use of these files here:

d) Option to Disable Cookies

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by adjusting your web browser settings. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. However, the steps and measures required to do so depend on the specific web browser you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation for your web browser, or contact its manufacturer or support team. However, for so-called Flash cookies, processing cannot be prevented via your browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash Player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the specific Flash Player you are using. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation for your Flash Player, or contact the manufacturer or user support.

If you prevent or restrict the installation of cookies, however, this may result in not all features of our website being fully usable.
