Cookies
Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Cookies help us to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure.
Partially used cookies are so-called “session cookies”. Such transient cookies (temporary cookies) are automatically deleted after the end of your browser session. On the other hand, other persistent cookies (temporarily limited cookies) remain on your end device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website.
With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured in such a way that cookies are automatically deleted when the program is closed. The deactivation of cookies can result in limited functionality of our website.
The setting of cookies, which are necessary to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions you would like to use, is based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and smooth provision of our services. If other cookies are set (e.g., for analysis functions), they will be treated separately in this data protection declaration.
We use different types of cookies:
- Transient cookies, also known as temporary or "session cookies", are cookies that are deleted after you leave our website and close your browser. Such cookies are used, for example, to store language settings or the contents of a shopping basket.
- Persistent or permanent cookies remain stored even after the browser is closed. This way, for example, the login status or search terms entered can be saved. We use such cookies for range measurement or marketing purposes, among other things. Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period, which may vary depending on the cookie. However, you can delete these cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.
There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly by our website, while third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics). We will inform you about the use of "third-party cookies" and about the cooperation with external service providers who provide services such as web tracking or reach measurement for us within this privacy policy under the respective online service. Each cookie must be evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiry time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years.
Access to your consent settings
As part of a consent management system ("cookie banner"), we offer you the opportunity to decide on the setting of cookies on our website according to your specifications. You can change the decision made there at any time and subsequently grant or revoke your consent. To do this you can access the setting options on our website by clicking on the fingerprint symbol.
The setting of cookies, which are necessary for the performance of electronic communication processes, or the provision of certain functions desired by you, takes place on the basis of art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

When you visit a website for the first time, you are usually asked which of these cookie types you would like to allow. This decision is also stored in a cookie.
You decide how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies originate from, you always have the option of deleting cookies, only partially allowing them or deactivating them. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.
If you do not want any cookies at all, you can set up your browser in a way that it will inform you whenever a cookie is to be set. You can then decide for each individual cookie whether or not to allow it. The procedure can be found in your browser settings.
