Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. Cookies store certain user data about you, such as your preferred language or personal page settings.
When you return to our site, your browser sends the "user-related" information back to our site. Thanks to the cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you your usual default settings. However, cookies cannot directly identify a user.
Each cookie must be evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiration time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to several years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, trojans, or other "pests". Cookies also cannot access information on your device.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the privacy policy.
For our purposes we distinguish between three types of cookies:
1) Technically necessary cookies
2) Functional Cookies
3) Marketing Cookies
These cookies are absolutely necessary to ensure the basic functions of the website. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of these cookies. For these functions, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.
Technically necessary cookies are, for example, session cookies that save certain user settings (e.g. language settings), flash cookies for playing media content, or opt-out cookies that can be used to revoke cookie consent.
The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.
These cookies are necessary to ensure the basic functions and display of the website. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of these cookies. For these functions, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.
These include the so-called advertising, tracking, and sharing cookies. Advertisement and tracking cookies are used to deliver customized advertising to the user. Sharing cookies are used to improve the interactivity of our website with other services (e.g. social networks).
Marketing cookies enable us to monitor the use and performance of our website, to compile statistics, to determine the number of visitors and the use of various website elements (which areas are most frequently accessed, which articles are most frequently read, etc.) to ensure that our services are as relevant and user-friendly as possible. This information enables us to improve and constantly optimize the quality of our website and its content.
Marketing cookies are third-party cookies which means that they are not stored by us. We, therefore, recommend that you read the websites of these third parties to learn more about third-party cookies. We explain which third-party services we use in this regard in Section 5 of this Privacy Policy below.
Our websites also contain links to Facebook, Twitter, and other similar social media websites, which allow you to share the content of our websites with other people via social media. When you use these sharing buttons, a sharing cookie is installed. Please read the privacy policy of each social media site to ensure that you are aware of the use of your personal information that social media sites may collect in the process.
Technically Necessary Cookies are required for the site to work properly.
