Cookie Policy

We use "cookies" to track activity on the website. Cookies are small amounts of data (text information) that are temporarily placed on the user's computer via the website and web browser. This allows the user to be identified for the duration of the visit. The information contained in cookies serves to facilitate navigation and makes it possible to adapt the information according to your individual preferences. Naturally, you can also use our website without cookies. Our cookies contain anonymous and aggregated information, such as about the browser used, the operating system, or geographical location, but no personal information, so your privacy is protected.

A. How are cookies used?

We use cookies to the following extent:

· Transient cookies (temporary use)

· Persistent cookies (time-limited use)

· So-called third-party cookies (from third-party providers)

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to the website. Session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified duration, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser. Where applicable, our website also uses cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for advertising purposes, analysis, or for the functionalities of our website. For details, please refer to the following information. In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via browser settings. Instead, you must change the setting of your Flash player. The steps and measures required for this also depend on the Flash player you use.

If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Flash player, or contact the manufacturer or their user support. You can configure your browser setting according to your wishes and, for example, decline the acceptance of third-party cookies or all cookies. However, we would like to point out that you may not be able to use all functions of this website then.

This information is stored separately from provided data.

In particular, cookie data is not linked to your other data. Most browsers accept cookies automatically. You can prevent cookies from being saved on your hard drive by selecting "accept no cookies" in your browser settings.

To see how this works in detail, please refer to the instructions of your web browser. If you do not accept cookies, however, this may lead to functional restrictions of our services.

B. Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

· Browser type / browser version

· Operating system used

· Referrer URL

· Hostname of the accessing computer

·Time of the server request

These data cannot be assigned to specific persons. A combination of these data with other data sources is not performed. We reserve the right to check these data retrospectively if we become aware of concrete indications of illegal use.

C. Contact by Email

If you contact us by email, the information you provide will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for possible follow-up questions.

D. Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. We therefore only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as provided for by the diverse retention periods foreseen by the legislator. After the respective purpose no longer applies or these periods expire, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with statutory provisions.
