Cookie Policy

1. What are cookies?

A cookie is a small data set stored on your device, containing information such as your personal page settings, an ID, or login information. It is generated by the web server you connect to via your browser and sent to your device. We use cookies to analyse interest in our web pages and to make them more user-friendly.

In principle, you can access our web pages without cookies. However, if you want to use our pages fully and smoothly, you should accept the cookies that enable certain functions or make the use of our website more user-friendly.

Via the cookie banner shown on your first visit, you can choose whether you agree to technically necessary cookies only, or also to optional cookies. You can change your choice at any time using the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer.

2. What types of cookies are there?

a. First-party cookies

These are placed by this website itself and can only be read by it. They usually store information — for example, your settings — that is used on your next visit.

b. Third-party cookies

Third-party cookies originate from parties other than the website operator. They can be used to collect information for advertising, user-defined content and web statistics.

c. Technically necessary cookies

Technically necessary cookies are required, or at least useful, for basic functions of the website such as selecting the preferred language or saving your page settings. These do not require your consent.

d. Optional cookies

Optional cookies go beyond the functional scope of technically necessary cookies and are used to collect information for advertising purposes, user-defined content and web statistics. These are only set with your consent.

3. Managing cookies

Most browsers are set to accept all cookies by default. You can set your browser to display cookies before storing them, to accept or reject only certain cookies, or to reject cookies in general. Please note that settings only ever affect that particular browser, so if you use different browsers or devices you will have to adjust the settings again.

You can change your consent on this website at any time via the “Cookie Settings” link in the footer. You can also delete cookies from your storage medium at any time — see the Help section of your browser for details.
