What is a Cookie?

A Cookie is a simple small file that is sent with pages of this website and is stored by the browser on the hard drive of your computer. The information stored in it can be sent back to our servers on a subsequent visit.

Use of permanent Cookies

A permanent Cookie allows us to 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 placement of Cookies, we can remember this through a Cookie. This means that you do not have to repeat your preferences every time, which saves you time and makes using our website more pleasant. You can delete permanent Cookies via the settings of your browser. Use of Session Cookies

A Session Cookie allows us to 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 as soon as you close your web browser.

Tracking Cookies from our advertisers

With your permission, our advertisers place “tracking Cookies” on your device. They use these Cookies to track which pages you visit from their network, in order to build a profile of your online surfing behaviour. This profile is partly built up on the basis of comparable information that they receive from your visits 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 by the company Google, as part of the “Analytics” service. We use this service to track and receive reports on how visitors use the website. Google may provide this information to third parties if Google is legally required to do so, or if third parties process the information on behalf of Google. We have no influence on this. We have not given Google permission to use the obtained analytics information for other Google services.

The information that Google collects is anonymized as much as possible. We explicitly do not provide your IP address. The information is transferred to Google and stored by that company on servers in the United States. Google states that it adheres to the Safe Harbor principles and is affiliated with the Safe Harbor program of the American Department of Commerce. This means that there is an appropriate level of protection for the processing of any personal data.
