We and our partners use cookies to provide these services. This also applies when you visit our website or access our services.

A "cookie" is a small packet of data that is assigned to your device by this website when you visit a website. Cookies are useful and can be used for various purposes. These include, for example, facilitating navigation between different pages, automatically activating certain functions, saving your settings and optimising access to our services. The use of cookies also allows us to serve you relevant advertisements based on your interests and to collect statistical information about your use of our services.

This website uses the following types of cookies:

a) "Session cookies" , which provide for normal system usage. Session cookies are only stored for a limited time during a session and are deleted from your device as soon as you close your browser.

b) "Permanent cookies", which are only read by the website and are not deleted when the browser window is closed, but are stored on your computer for a certain period of time. This type of cookie allows us to identify you on your next visit and to save your settings, for example.

c) "Third-party cookies" , which are set by other online services that are present with their own content on the page you visit. These can be, for example, external web analytics companies that record and analyse access to our website.

Cookies do not contain any personal data that identifies you, but the personal data we store may be linked by us to the data contained in the cookies. You can remove cookies via the device settings on your device. Follow the relevant instructions when doing so. Please note that disabling cookies may limit certain functions when using our website.

The tool we use is based on technology from Snowplow Analytics . The data we collect on the use of our website includes, for example, how often users visit the website or which areas are accessed. The tool we use does not collect any personal data and is used by our web hosting provider and service provider solely to improve its own offering.

To ensure that our content is displayed correctly and graphically appealing in every browser, we use script and font libraries such as Google Web Fonts (https://www.google.com/webfonts) for this website. Google Web Fonts are transferred to your browser's cache so that they only need to be loaded once. If your browser does not support Google Web Fonts or denies access, the content is displayed in a standard font.

When script or font libraries are called up, a connection to the operator of the library is automatically established. Theoretically, it is possible for this operator to collect data. At present, it is not known whether and for what purpose the operators of the corresponding libraries actually collect data.

Here you can find the privacy policy of the operator of the Google library: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy

This policy only covers the use and disclosure of information we collect from you. If you post data on other websites or disclose it to third parties on the Internet, different rules may apply. Therefore, always read the terms and conditions and privacy policy carefully when disclosing data.

This Privacy Policy does not apply to the business practices of companies that we do not own or control, or to anyone other than our officers and employees, including third parties, to whom we disclose this information as described in this Privacy Policy.

We take great care to implement security measures on the website and protect your data. We use industry standard procedures and policies to ensure the protection of data collected and stored and prevent the unauthorised use of such data. We also require third parties to adhere to similar security requirements in accordance with this Privacy Policy. Although we take reasonable steps to protect data, we cannot be held responsible for the actions of those who gain unauthorised access to or misuse our website and we give no warranty, express or implied, that we can prevent such access.

Please note that some recipients may not be based in the European Economic Area. If this is the case, we will only transfer your data to countries approved by the European Commission with an adequate level of data protection or ensure an adequate level of data protection through a legal agreement.
