Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files consisting of a series of numbers and letters that are placed and stored on the terminal device you are using.

Rather, their primary purpose is to exchange information between the end device you are using and our website in order to make our Internet offering more user-friendly and effective for you. A distinction must be made between temporary (transient) cookies and persistent cookies. Transient cookies include, in particular, session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests of your browser can be assigned to the common session. This allows our website to recognize your computer when you return to our website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close your browser. Persistent cookies are deleted automatically after a specified period of time, which may differ depending on the cookie. You have the option to delete these cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser. The cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. Information on language settings or log-in information may be stored in these cookies.

In the above purposes lies our legitimate interest in data processing. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Since the cookies are stored on your computer, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. You have the option of specifying via the security settings of your browser whether cookies are stored at all. For example, you can choose not to accept cookies from the outset or only accept them on request, or you can specify that cookies are deleted each time you close your browser. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.
