What is a Cookie?

A cookie is a small file that can be stored on your system when you visit a website. As soon as you give your consent, this file is stored in the browser’s cache. One possible use of cookies is to store personal preferences, such as your preferred language or data protection settings, so that you can use them on subsequent visits to the same page without having to be asked again. Others, on the other hand, enable you to continue sessions you have started and the entries you have made in them at a later time. Some cookies can also help with the analysis of data traffic on the website in order to optimize the web presence. Generally speaking, cookies allow a website to respond to you as an individual. The web application can thus adapt the services it offers to your specific needs by collecting and storing information about your preferences. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses.

How We Use Cookies

We use so-called “traffic log” cookies to determine which pages of our website are used more frequently and where problems occur. The data obtained in this way is only used for statistical analysis and is not used to identify you as an individual. A regular evaluation of the “traffic logs” helps us to continuously improve our website in order to best adapt it to customer needs. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies”. These are automatically deleted at the end of your visit to our website. Other cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our site.

You can find the complete list of all cookies we use on this website, grouped according to their purpose, in our privacy policy.

Overall, cookies help us to provide you with a better website by showing us which pages you find useful and which you do not. A cookie does not allow us to gain access to your computer in any way. Furthermore, cookies do not allow us to access your personal information. The only exceptions to this are cases where you explicitly agree to share data with us. You can freely choose to accept or reject cookies. Most web browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can usually modify your browser setting to control how cookies are handled. Please note that if you disable cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Of course, we always pay attention to the protection of your personal data. You can find more information on this in our privacy policy.
