Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device in order to save information about your visit to the website. Sometimes this information is necessary for the functioning of our website. Furthermore, we use cookies to improve the website or to analyse page views statistically. You can activate the cookies that are not essential in the cookie settings. We do not intend to identify persons, but some cookies can identify your browser or device. Personal data is only stored with your explicit consent or if this is absolutely necessary to provide the requested service. Your voluntary consent can be revoked anytime for processing in the future. More information can be found in the Privacy Policy.
Necessary Cookies are essential for the operation and the functions of our website and can therefore not be disabled. They especially allow for secure operation and serve to save input of users, e.g. the display language, which consequently does not have to be set for each individual request. The information saved in these cookies is exclusively used by us (first-party cookies). Necessary cookies can be blocked or deleted via browser settings but this may impact the functionality of the website.
With the help of statistics cookies, we collect information on how our website is used. We measure which contents are viewed more often or less frequently, when and from where (e.g. time and country) page views occur and we can count the visits to our website. The information is anonymized by aggregation and analysed statistically in pooled groups. On the basis of this analysis the popularity of contents is evaluated and the functionality of our website is optimized. If you disable these cookies, we can no longer determine whether our website has been visited from your device before. For further information on the analysis service used please see our Privacy Policy.
Marketing cookies are set by external service providers (third-party cookies) and are used for advertising purposes when the contents of our partners are viewed. The external service providers collect information across websites about the contents viewed by the users. Marketing cookies are often based on uniquely identifying your browser or device. The collected data is used for targeted advertising, to create user profiles and to display contents corresponding to potential interests. In the case of a cross-border data transfer to a country outside the EU/EEC, there may be a lower level of data protection and the risk of usage for control and surveillance or of secret access by the authorities (e.g. USA), without a chance of legal remedy. If you disable these cookies, contents of external service providers will be blocked.
For further information on external service pro-viders and links to their data handling proce-dures please see our Privacy Policy.
On our website we use necessary and optional cookies. Statistics cookies are optional and allow us to measure and analyze the usage of our website. Optional marketing cookies are used to provide contents of our partners and can be used by them for advertising and profiling. Data may be transferred to countries with a lower level of data protection. If you accept all cookies, you voluntarily consent to these processings. If you disagree, only technically necessary cookies will be used. Under „Cookie settings“ you can make an individual choice and revoke any given consent anytime for processing in the future. Please see our Privacy Policy for additional information.
