In accordance with Regulation (EU) 2016/679 of the European Parliament and of the Council of April 27, 2016, on the protection of natural persons with regard to the processing of personal data and on the free movement of such data, and repealing Directive 95/46/EC (the “General Data Protection Regulation”) and relevant national data protection legislation, all visitors to the website are asked for their consent before cookies are sent to their computers.
When you visit our website, no personal data is transmitted to our server unless you actively send us such data. The only exceptions are technically necessary cookies, which are essential for the functioning of our website.
The Google Analytics web analysis tool is configured in such a way that data is only recorded anonymously and cannot be traced back to individual persons.

What are cookies?
A cookie is a small text file that a website saves on your computer or mobile device when you visit it. Cookies enable the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login, language, font size, and other display preferences) for a certain period of time. This means you don’t have to re-enter them every time you return to the website or navigate from one page to another.
Cookies may also contain personal data, such as your IP address. Therefore, we only store cookies if you have explicitly allowed this in the cookie settings on our website. You can revoke your consent to the use of cookies at any time with future effect by adjusting your browser security settings accordingly.
The exception to this are cookies that are technically essential for the functioning of our website. Without these, you cannot visit or navigate our website. Therefore, these cookies are generally activated by default.
You also have the option of generally disabling cookies in your browser at any time. This prevents cookies from being stored on your device. In this regard, we would like to point out that generally disabling cookies may lead to functional impairments when using our website.
How are cookies used?
There are 3 types of cookies generally used:
- Necessary cookies: make the website functional, providing basic functionality such as browsing the website pages and accessing secure areas of the website. The website cannot function properly without these cookies.
- Statistical cookies: collect and report information anonymously and help website owners understand how visitors interact with the website.
- Marketing cookies: are used to track visitors across websites they browse. The purpose is to provide relevant and engaging advertisements for each visitor.
There is also a category of unclassified cookies, which are in the process of being classified and assigned to one of the three main categories.
What are third-party cookies?
Certain sections of content on the website may be provided through third parties. These third parties may place cookies through another website, and they are called “third-party cookies” because they are not placed by the owner of that website. Third-party providers must also comply with applicable law and the privacy policies of the website owner.
What is the lifespan of a cookie?
Cookies are managed by web servers. The lifetime of a cookie can vary significantly, depending on the purpose for which it is placed. Some cookies are used exclusively for a single session (session cookies) and are no longer retained once the visitor has left the website, while other cookies are retained and reused each time the visitor returns to that website (persistent cookies). However, cookies can be deleted by a visitor at any time through the settings of the browser they are using.
