Through the stored and restored data, the respective website recognizes that you have already accessed and visited it in the browser you use on that device. We use this information so that we can design and display the website in an optimal way according to your preferences. In this sense, only the cookie is recognized on your device. In addition, your personal data will be stored only with your express consent or if it is absolutely necessary for the use of the service offered to you and which you have accessed.

Further information on the types of Cookies used on this website can be found below.

 

Strictly necessary cookies (type A)

Strictly necessary cookies guarantee functionality without which you cannot use our website properly. These cookies are used exclusively by us and are therefore First Party Cookies. This means that all information stored in these cookies will be sent back to our website.

These cookies serve, for example, to ensure that you as a logged-in user always remain logged in when accessing different pages on our website and that you therefore do not need to log in again with your information each time you access a new page. The use of strictly necessary cookies on our website is possible without your consent. For this reason, strictly necessary cookies cannot be activated or deactivated individually. However, you can deactivate cookies in your browser at any time.

Legal basis: Article 12, paragraph 1, item 2 of the Law on Personal Data Protection.

 

Performance and functionality cookies (type B)

Functionality cookies allow our website to save information already provided (such as registered name or selected language) and can offer you improved and personalized features based on that information. These cookies collect and store only anonymous data so that they cannot track your movements on other websites. Performance cookies collect information about the way our web pages are used in order to improve their attractiveness, content and functionality. These cookies help us, for example, to determine the pages of our website that have been visited by and particularly interesting to content users. In particular, we record the number of visits to the website, the number of website pages visited, the time spent on our website, the order of pages visited, the search terms that brought you to our website, the country, region and, if applicable, the city from which it is accessed and the share of mobile devices that access our web pages. We also record movements, clicks and scrolls to understand which areas of our website are of particular interest to users. Therefore, we can adapt the content of our website specifically to the needs of our users and optimize our offer. The IP address of your computer transferred for technical reasons automatically becomes anonymous and does not allow us to draw conclusions about the individual user.

Legal basis: Article 12, paragraph 1, item 6 of the Law on Personal Data Protection.

 

Consent-based cookies (type C)

Cookies other than strictly necessary (type A) or performance and functionality cookies (type B) will only be used with your express consent, e.g. advertising cookies.

In doing so, we reserve the right to use the information we have obtained through cookies, through an anonymous analysis of the behavior of our visitors in order to display certain advertising for some of our products on our website. We believe that you as a user benefit from this, because we present you advertising or content that we think matches your interests based on your browsing behavior, so you will see fewer random ads or other content that you may find less interesting.

Marketing cookies come from external advertising companies (third-party cookies) and are used to collect information about the pages visited in order to create targeted advertising for the user.

You can also manage many of the cookies that companies use for online advertising through consumer choice tools developed in self-regulatory programs in many countries, such as the US program https://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU program http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices.

You can withdraw your consent to the use of consent-based cookies (type C) at any time with effect for the future by adjusting your cookie settings.

Legal basis: Article 12, paragraph 1, item 1 of the Law on Personal Data Protection.
