With this cookie policy, the website operator informs the user of the website about the use of cookies or similar storage technologies (hereinafter ‘cookies’) on this website.
Cookies are small text files that are stored by the web browser on the user’s end device to store certain information. The next time our website is accessed with the same end device, the information stored in cookies is sent back to our website (‘first party cookie’) or another website to which the cookie belongs (‘third party cookie’).
The information stored and returned in the cookie enables the respective website to recognise that the user has already accessed and visited it with the web browser of their end device. We use this information to optimise the display of the website to the user according to their preferences.
However, only the cookie itself is identified on the end device. Any further storage of personal data only takes place if the user gives us their express consent or if this storage is absolutely necessary in order to be able to use the service offered and accessed.
Cookies that are not absolutely necessary to provide the services on this website are only used after consent has been given. By actively continuing to use this website after the cookie banner has been displayed, the user consents to the use of cookies.
Users can customise their cookie settings at any time, for example by activating or deactivating individual cookie categories.
How the user can generally deactivate or delete cookies (including strictly necessary cookies) in their browser is described under ‘Deactivating or deleting all cookies’.
Depending on their purpose and function, we divide the cookies used by the website into the following categories:
Strictly necessary cookies ensure that this website or service functions properly. This means that without these cookies, this website or service cannot be used as intended.
