What is a cookie?

We use cookies on this website. A cookie is a simple small file that is sent along with pages of this website and is stored by your browser on your hard drive of your computer. The information stored therein can be sent back to our servers on a subsequent visit.

Use of persistent cookies

With the help of a permanent cookie, we can recognize you when you visit our website again. The website can therefore be specially set to your preferences. Even if you have given permission for the placing of cookies, we can remember this by means of a cookie. As a result, you do not have to repeat your preferences every time, so you save time and can make a more pleasant use of our website. Permanent cookies can be deleted via the settings of your browser.

Use of session cookies

With the help of a session cookie we can see which parts of the website you have viewed during this visit. This allows us to adapt our service as much as possible to the surfing behaviour of our visitors. These cookies are automatically deleted when you close your web browser.

Tracking cookies of our own

With your permission, we place a cookie on your device, which can be requested as soon as you visit a website from our network. This allows us to find out that you have also visited relevant other website(s) from our network in addition to our website. The profile built up as a result is not linked to your name, address, e-mail address and the like, but only serves to match advertisements to your profile, so that they are as relevant to you as possible.

Tracking cookies from our advertisers

With your permission, our advertisers place "tracking cookies" on your device. They use these cookies to keep track of which pages you visit from their network, in order to build a profile of your online surfing behaviour. This profile is partly built on the basis of comparable information that they receive from your visit to other websites in their network. This profile is not linked to your name, address, e-mail address and the like as known to us, but only serves to tailor advertisements to your profile so that they are as relevant to you as possible.

Google Analytics

A cookie is placed via our website from the American company Google, as part of the “Analytics” service. We use this service to keep track of and to get reports on how visitors use the website. Google may provide this information to third parties if Google is legally obliged to do so, or insofar as third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no influence on this. We have/have not allowed Google to use the obtained analytics information for other Google services. The information that Google collects is anonymised as much as possible. Your IP address is emphatically not given. The information is transferred to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google claims to adhere to the Privacy Shield principles and is affiliated with the Privacy Shield program of the US Department of Commerce. This means that there is an appropriate level of protection for the processing of any personal data.
