Cookies, explained transparently.

What are cookies?

Cookies are small text files stored on your device. They do not damage your computer and contain no viruses.

Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. They may be technically necessary or help us understand how the website is used.

Technically necessary cookies

These cookies are required for secure and reliable operation, for example language settings, favorites, form protection or consent management.

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

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you request are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

We have a legitimate interest in storing technically necessary cookies so that our services can be provided in a technically error-free and optimized way. Where other cookies are stored, they are dealt with separately in the privacy policy and consent management.

Analytics and comfort services

When you visit our website, your browsing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is done mainly with cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis is generally anonymous; browsing behavior cannot be traced back to you.

Analytics or comfort services are used only where consent has been given or another legal basis applies. You can withdraw consent at any time with future effect.

Where cookies are used to analyze your browsing behavior, we handle them separately in the privacy policy and in consent management.

Google Analytics

This website may use functions of the Google Analytics web analytics service. Google Analytics uses cookies that enable analysis of website use.

Google Analytics cookies are stored only where consent has been given or another legal basis applies.

Google Ads and conversion tracking

This website may use Google Ads and conversion tracking. When you click on an ad placed by Google, a cookie may be set for statistical evaluation and not for personal identification.

Conversion cookies regularly expire after a limited period and are not used for personal identification of users.

Third-party services

Depending on how pages are used, services for maps, media, image delivery or analytics may be embedded. Technical data may be transferred to providers outside our direct responsibility.

For form protection, embedded media or external content, services such as Google reCAPTCHA or YouTube may be used where this is technically required or where you have given consent. Technical data may be transferred to the respective providers.

Cookie settings

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude acceptance for specific cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

If a consent banner is shown on the website, you can make and later change your selection there. Technically necessary cookies remain active because the website cannot function correctly without them.
