Cookies

On this website we use cookies.
What are cookies?

Cookies are text files in which data is stored on the user’s computer. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted after 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.

Also, the analysis program “Google Analytics” used cookies to learn more about the visitors and the pages accessed (e.g. how long a visitor was on a particular website). In this way, we can better serve our customers and further optimize the website. This information is anonymized – that is, we do not know which customer has performed which action.

If you have deactivated the use of cookies in your browser, no cookies will be used and stored.

In most browsers, the storage of cookies is already set with the installation. You can disable them directly in your browser.

Here are instructions for the most popular browsers:

For all browsers, you can find additional information about this topic in Settings or Help.

We reserve the right to check this data retrospectively, if we become aware of specific indications for illegal use.
