Information on the Use of Cookies
This website uses cookie technology. Based on your browser settings, certain information is collected. This is automatically transmitted by your browser using a cookie to the website operator when you visit the website. This information typically includes the IP address assigned to your computer, the type of operating system, and the installed browser type.
A cookie is a small text file that is stored by a web server on the hard drive of your computer. A distinction is made between "session cookies" and "permanent cookies".
Session Cookies:
A session cookie is created every time you visit this website. It contains a randomly generated, unique identifier assigned to your computer. The validity of a session cookie expires automatically when you close the browser. Session cookies are used to support the functionality of the website and to learn more about your use of the website, such as which pages you visit, which links you use, and how long you stay on each page.
Permanent Cookies:
Where permitted, permanent cookies are used. These cookies do not expire when you close your browser but remain on your hard drive until they expire after a specified period or are deleted by you. Each time you visit this website, the web server recognizes the permanent cookie stored on your computer's hard drive. By assigning such a permanent, unique identifier to your computer, preferred settings and your usage can be saved in a database. It also allows determining how frequently you visit the website, how your usage patterns change, and how effective the website's advertising activities are. These data do not contain any personal data but only actions performed with your computer.
If you access the website via an email sent to you or create a "user identity" during one of your visits, the information provided by the website or third-party cookies may be linked to information in the website provider's records that may be inferred to identify you.
Consent to the Use of Cookies:
Your prior consent is not required for session cookies as they are necessary for the operation of the website and expire once you leave the website. The use of permanent cookies that store your preferred settings and usage patterns, but are not necessarily required for the functionality of the website, requires your prior consent. By using the website, you agree to the use of permanent cookies unless you prevent the installation of these cookies by changing your computer settings. This also applies to third-party cookies.
Web Beacons:
The website may contain pixel graphics called "web beacons," "single-pixel GIFs," or "clear GIFs." Third parties may use web beacons to learn more about the behavior of website visitors and measure the effectiveness of advertising activities. Web beacons can also be used in advertising emails to determine if they are opened and trigger user activity. Information obtained in web beacons is linked to your personal data only with your prior consent. By clicking on a link in advertising emails sent to you with your consent, you agree to the use of web beacons unless you prevent the installation of these web beacons by changing your computer settings.
Cookies Currently Used on the Website:
(current state of our cookie usage, their purpose, their impact on privacy, and their permanence):
Session ID:
The web server may create session cookies necessary for the use of certain interactive elements of the website (e.g., contact forms or login). The cookie contains a session ID that distinguishes your visit to our website from those of other visitors using the website at the same time. Session cookies are considered necessary for the use of the website and do not require your consent.
Analytics:
The website uses Google Analytics. Google Analytics sets several first-party cookies to ensure that each subsequent visit to the website can be attributed to the same (unique) visitor. It also allows determining how you found the page.
Website Navigation:
The content management tool creates several first-party cookies. These are session cookies that are deleted when you close your browser. These cookies enable the proper functioning of our website. These data are aggregated and cannot be attributed to any person.
Reports are created in aggregated form based on the data collected using these first-party cookies, providing insights into how visitors find and use the website. These insights are used to update and improve the website.
Third-Party Cookies:
Third-party cookies are cookies created by partners. If these partners are allowed to embed a cookie on a page of the website, the website provider will inform you of the policies and explain that collecting information using such cookies requires the visitor's consent. You can refuse this consent by changing your computer settings.
Cookies from advertising partners and external content from third-party providers are used on the website. These are cookies that belong to the third-party domain and can only be displayed and managed by the third party. These third parties include, among others, Facebook and Twitter, whose cookie policies you can view on the respective websites. The Google Maps tool and the Facebook "Like" plugin are also used. The data protection regulations of these providers apply. The website provider has no direct control over the content of the cookies created by these plugins.
Other services that may create cookies on your computer are occasionally tested. In this case, the corresponding usage will be listed here.
How to Change Your Cookie Settings
