1. What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or other device when you visit a website. On each subsequent visit, they are sent back to our website or another third-party website that recognizes the cookie.

Cookies allow us, for example, to recognize your device when you return to our website, remember your preferences and choices, improve your user experience, and customize our marketing on our pages and in other possible services.

2. Cookies we use

Various cookies are used on our site. They can be categorized by their duration and purpose.

In terms of duration, we use both temporary and persistent cookies. Temporary cookies only last until you close your browser. We also use persistent cookies, which remain for a longer, predefined period.

Necessary cookies

Some cookies are necessary for the technical operation and use of our site. These cookies do not collect user data that could be used for marketing or remembering sites chosen by the user.

Performance-measuring cookies

Our performance-measuring cookies collect information about how users use our website (e.g., most visited pages). These cookies do not collect identifiable information; they are kept anonymous and are used only to improve the functionality of the website.

Our website uses Google Analytics cookies. The information collected by these cookies is transferred to and stored on the service provider's servers, some of which may be located outside the EU and, in this case, local data protection legislation applies.

Functional cookies

Functional cookies allow our website to remember your choices (language or region) and offer better and more personalized features.

Third-party cookies

Our pages have buttons that facilitate content sharing to various online communication environments and social media. If you use these buttons, a cookie may be set on your device by the service you selected. These cookies are not under our control. You can find more information about the use of third-party cookies on the website of the respective service.

Our website may accept cookies from these third-party services. These may include, for example, Facebook or Google services.

3. How to manage cookies?

Most web browsers accept cookies, but you can usually change these browser settings yourself to prevent new cookies from being saved, delete existing cookies, or request a notification when new cookies are stored.

If you want your browser to block the use of cookies, configure the settings according to your browser manufacturer's instructions (usually in the Help, Tools, or Edit menu).

If you block the storage of cookies or disable them, some functions of our website may not work. Disabling a cookie or cookie category does not yet remove the cookie from your browser; you must do it yourself through your browser. You can get instructions for this from your browser provider.
