The use of cookies serves, on the one hand, to make the use of our offer more pleasant for you. For example, we use session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of our website. These are automatically deleted after leaving our site.

Furthermore, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specified period. If you visit our site again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have already been with us and what inputs and settings you have made, so you do not have to enter them again.

Google Analytics

For the purpose of needs-based design and continuous optimization of our pages, we use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Inc. (https://www.google.com/intl/en/about/), 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (hereinafter referred to as “Google”). In this context, pseudonymous usage profiles are created and cookies (see Section 4) are used. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website, such as:

This information may also be transferred to third parties if required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of the company. In no case will your IP address be merged with other data from Google. IP addresses are anonymized so that assignment is not possible (IP masking).

You can prevent the installation of cookies by setting your browser software accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case, you may not be able to use all functions of this website to their full extent.

You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser add-on (https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en).
