What are cookies and what is the purpose?

Cookies are text files which are stored in the Internet browser or in the Internet browser on the computer system of the user. If a user calls a website, then a cookie may be stored on the operating system of the user. Such a cookie contains a characteristic string which permits unambiguous identification of the browser if the website is called again.

We employ cookies in order to arrange our website in a more user-friendly manner. Certain elements of our website require that the calling browser can also be identified after a page change.

How is my data processed?

The data of the user collected in this way is pseudonymized by technical processes. Accordingly, assignment of the data to the user calling in is no longer possible. The data collected is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

How can I delete/deactivate cookies?

When our website is called, users are informed by means of a cookie banner about the use of cookies. In this banner, users are informed that they can individually consent to the various processing purposes of their personal data under the cookie policy.

The storage of cookies can also be prevented in the browser settings. The transmission of flash cookies, however, cannot be prevented via the browser settings but requires changes to the setting of the flash player.

Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be carried out automatically. However, if cookies for our website are deactivated, it may no longer be possible to use all the functions of the website in full.

Others

Our website also uses cookies which are operated and managed by other websites (e.g., Websites you have visited before). We have no influence on this. These cookies are used for various purposes determined by the relevant website operator. Please refer to the originating websites for the details of these cookies.
