Cookies

Based on Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f) of the Regulation, we use so-called "cookies" on our website. Our interest in optimizing our web page must be regarded as justified within the meaning of the regulation cited above. The term "cookies" refers to small files that are saved on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our web page. "Cookies" do not cause any harm to your terminal device, they do not contain viruses, Trojan horses or other spam. "Cookies" record information that is received in connection with a specific terminal device used. However, this does not mean that we thereby directly learn about your identity. The use of "cookies" on the one hand serves to make our offer more pleasant, so that it is better accepted by you. For example, we use so-called session cookies to understand that you have already visited individual pages of our site. In addition, for the greater convenience of users, we use temporary "cookies", which are saved by your terminal device for a certain period of time.

On the other hand, we use cookies to analyze the use of our web page from a statistical point of view in order to optimize our offer. These "cookies" enable us to automatically recognize that you have visited us before when you visit our page again. "Cookies" are automatically deleted after a certain amount of time has passed. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. However, you can configure your browser so that "cookies" are not stored on your computer or that before a new "cookie" is created, the corresponding instruction always appears. Disabling cookies completely may, however, cause certain functions on our website to cease to function.
