How we use them

On our website we use so-called cookies based on Article 6 (1) of EU Regulation 2016/679. Our interest in optimizing our website must be considered legitimate, within the meaning of the aforementioned provision. Cookies do not cause harm to your terminal device, do not contain viruses, trojans or other harmful programs. The cookie collects information that is generated each time in relation to the specific terminal device used. This does not mean that we have direct knowledge of your identity through them. The use of cookies aims on the one hand to offer you more comfortable use. For this reason, we use so-called session cookies to recognize that you have already visited individual pages of the website. These are automatically deleted as soon as you leave our website. In addition, we use temporary cookies for ease of use, which are stored for a specified period of time on your terminal device. If you visit our page again to use our services, we automatically recognize that you have already visited us, which entries / settings you made, so that it is not necessary to do the same actions again. Other third-party tools and widgets may be used on this website to provide additional functionality. The use of these tools or widgets may install a cookie on your device to make their service easier to use and to ensure that your activity is displayed correctly on the website. Cookies alone do not tell us your email address and do not personally identify you in any other way. In our analytical reports, we may receive identifying information including IP addresses, but only to determine the number of unique visitors to the website and the geographical origin of visitors, and in no case to identify individual visitors.
