Three categories of cookies are distinguished:

  1. Essential cookies to ensure basic website functionality.
  2. Functional cookies to ensure website performance.
  3. Targeted cookies to enhance the user experience.

The websites use what are called cookies in some instances. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. They serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser during your next visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases, or generally, enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. These include:

  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

These data cannot be attributed to specific individuals. No merging of this data with other data sources is conducted. We reserve the right to retrospectively check this data if we become aware of specific indications of unlawful use.

SSL Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the requests you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
