Like most other websites, our websites also use so-called cookies. These are used to constantly improve the user experience of our website visitors and to adapt our website to their personal needs. Below you can find out what cookies are, which cookies we use and how you can manage or delete them.
WHAT IS A COOKIE?
Cookies are small text files that are sent from our web server to your browser when you visit our website and are stored on your computer for later retrieval. We use so-called session cookies (also known as temporary cookies), i.e. cookies that are only stored temporarily for the duration of your use of one of our websites.
The purpose of these cookies is to continue to identify your computer during a visit to our website when you switch from one of our websites to another and to be able to determine the end of your visit.
For example, the cookie “remembers” the settings you have made so that you do not have to “re-enter” them each time you visit the website. In addition, the cookies used by us or by our external service providers are mainly used for analysis purposes, which enable us to evaluate user behavior on our websites and thus continuously improve our websites.
Cookies are set either directly by our websites (so-called first party cookies) or by other websites whose content appears on our website (so-called third party cookies).
WHAT TYPES OF COOKIES ARE THERE?
Cookies fulfill various functions and serve different purposes. Depending on this, cookies can be roughly divided into four categories:
| Strictly necessary cookies |
| Strictly necessary cookies guarantee functions without which you cannot use our websites as intended. These cookies are used exclusively by us and are therefore first party cookies. This means that all information stored in the cookies is sent back to our website. For example, the cookie can remember that you have logged into your user account and remain logged in when you access various subpages of our websites. This prevents you from having to re-enter your login details every time you access a new page. |
| Performance cookies |
| Performance cookies collect information about how a website is used, e.g. which pages a visitor accesses most frequently or whether they receive error messages. They are used exclusively to improve the website and thus the user experience. Performance cookies do not store any information that can be used to identify the user – the website visitor remains anonymous. |
| Functional cookies |
| Functional cookies enable a website to save information that has already been entered (e.g. user name, language selection, font size). This allows the visitor to be offered more personalized and improved functions. These cookies only collect anonymized information. |
| Marketing cookies |
| Cookies for marketing purposes are used to record the interests of the visitor and to adapt advertisements to their personal needs. These cookies originate from external advertising partners. They are therefore third-party cookies. They are also used to measure the effectiveness of advertisements. The information collected may be shared with third parties, e.g. advertisers, for this purpose.
The analysis of user behavior is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its advertising.

Google Web Fonts This site uses so-called web fonts provided by Google for the uniform display of fonts. When you call up a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. For this purpose, the browser you are using must connect to Google’s servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that our website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font will be used by your computer.
