We use cookies on our website to provide our services. Cookies are small text files containing information that are stored on your end device when you visit our website. For better utilisation, it is advantageous if cookies are stored temporarily, which is why you are asked for your consent when you first access the website. However, you are not obliged to give this consent and can also use the website without consent, albeit with restrictions under certain circumstances. Consent-free cookies (so-called strictly necessary cookies), the purpose of which is to enable the transmission of a message via an electronic communication network, as well as cookies that are absolutely necessary to provide our services, are also processed by us without your consent, and a distinction must be made between the following types of cookies:

Consent-free cookies and cookies requiring consent ~ Consent-free cookies are those cookies that we need in order to make the applications and functions available at all (so-called essential cookies). These cookies are only stored until you close your browser. All other cookies are cookies that require consent.

First- and third-party cookies ~ First-party cookies are cookies that are set and retrieved by us or our authorised processors. Third-party cookies are cookies that are set and retrieved by other controllers. Consequently, a distinction must be made here as to where a cookie comes from.

Session and persistent cookies ~ Session cookies are cookies that are automatically deleted when the browser is closed and persistent cookies are cookies that remain stored on your computer/device for a certain period of time after the browser is closed.

We only use cookies that require consent if you have previously consented to their processing in our cookie notice (cookie banner). The cookie banner is displayed when you visit our website, where you can select the desired cookies and consent to their processing. You can revoke or change your consent to the use of cookies at any time without giving reasons here. However, we would like to point out that all processing/transmission carried out up to the point of cancellation remains lawful.

If you have given your consent, Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, is used on our website. Google Analytics also uses cookies that enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookies about the use of our website is transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

IP anonymisation has been implemented on our website (‘_anonymizeIp()’). However, this means that your IP address will be truncated by Google within the EU or EEA beforehand (so-called IP masking). The full IP address is therefore not transmitted to a Google server in the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On our behalf, Google will use the information to analyse the use of the website, to compile reports on website activity on our website and to provide other services related to website and Internet use.

You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser accordingly (using a browser plug-in). However, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use all the functions of our website to their full extent. In addition, you can prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your already anonymised IP address) and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link.
