To make your visit to our website more enjoyable and to enable the use of certain features, we use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files that websites use to make the user experience more efficient. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses.

We use both temporary cookies, which are automatically deleted when you close your browser, and so-called "persistent" cookies, whose expiration date is set to a future date for your convenience. These cookies may be provided by us or by third-party providers. The user data collected in this way is pseudonymized. Therefore, it is not possible to directly link the data to the user accessing the website. The data is not stored together with other personal data of the users.

It is important to distinguish between essential cookies, which are strictly necessary for the operation of the website, and cookies that require consent, e.g., for statistics and marketing. Technically necessary cookies enable basic functions such as page navigation and access to secure areas of the website, as well as storing the necessary consent status for the use of cookies that require consent. No consent is required from the visitor for these cookies. The website cannot function as intended without them. We currently only use strictly necessary cookies that do not require consent.

The legal basis for processing personal data using technically necessary cookies is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest) in conjunction with Section 25(2), sentence 2 of the German Telemedia Act (TDDDG) or Article 6(1)(c) GDPR (compliance with legal obligations). The legal basis for using cookies requiring consent is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR (consent) in conjunction with Section 25(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TDDDG).

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to enable users to use websites by providing certain functions. For example, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change and that the consent management service retains the visitor's settings regarding consent to the use of cookies.

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from there to our website. "Session cookies" are automatically deleted after you leave our website. Other cookies remain stored on your device until their specified storage period, which can vary, expires or you delete them.

As a user, you have full control over the use of cookies. You can change your consent status at any time via the application integrated into our website.

You can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time.
