Cookies

Cookies are small text files which can be stored by a website, and with the help of the browser, on the hard drive of a client computer, to save smaller amounts of website information for a specific period of time. Generally, there are different types of cookies; these can be separated into technical cookies and profiling cookies (cookies used for marketing and advertising purposes).
This website uses technical and profiling cookies. In the following, you find more detailed information.

DIFFERENT TYPES OF COOKIES
Technical cookies are primarily relevant to the website’s functionality. There are navigational or Session state cookies, which enable user-friendly navigation on our website. Furthermore, there are so-called Analytics cookies, which collect information, for instance about the number of website visitors and the way they found the website. Also the Preferences cookies are technical cookies; they allow the website to remember your selection (for instance your selected filter settings or the previously installed automatic language setting of a website).

Then there are cookies, which record user settings, preferences and actions to create a user profile, the so-called profiling cookies. The purpose of these cookies is to match marketing communication with user interests and thus enable a more efficient targeting of advertisements. As soon as you open a website, which uses these cookies, a banner is displayed, which tells you that the website operator uses cookies for marketing purposes. The banner also informs the user that the website allows cookies by third parties. This banner links to a page with more detailed information (like the one you are on now), where the user can deny the use of cookies.

The banner offers the user the possibility to explicitly agree and indicates that a further navigation on the site means to automatically accept the use of cookies. Clicking on the detailed information does not mean that the user agrees. The banner does not disappear after a certain time, but is displayed for as long as the user either agrees, declines or consciously navigates further. We are required by law to register and save the user’s decision, so the banner will not appear the next time the user visits the website.

Furthermore, you can deny the use of cookies either generally or selectively. If you do not want to accept our cookies, then you can deny in your web browser or via the respectively shown links. The corresponding function depends on your browser. Below, you find more details. Please notice that functional limitations may occur, if you do not accept cookies.

In the following, we show you which technologies are used on our pages for which purpose, to which extent and in which way. The use of so-called third party cookies (cookies by other advertisers) may occur. Further information is filed as link in the corresponding section. You can also block these third party cookies explicitly in the settings of your respective browser.
