As soon as you visit our website, cookies are downloaded by the internet browser to your end device, for example as a small text file.

Both data processing and associated cookies may be deployed on our website. Depending on their function and purpose, we have divided data processing into different categories. The intended purpose of each respective category is described on this page, and your consent to said categories can also be modified here.

Cookies support a better and faster online experience. A cookie is a small text file that stores internet settings. Almost every website uses cookies. When you visit a website for the first time, the cookies are downloaded by your internet browser. The next time you visit this website using the same end device, the website recognises you and displays content that is tailored to your personal needs and interests. The cookies mentioned below are synonymous with HTML5 Session Web Storage and HTML5 Local Web Storage.
First party cookies are cookies that we, or contracted service providers, place on the website and with which you interact if you continue to use our website.
Our website may also contain content from other providers (third-party providers), who possibly use their own cookies. Third-party providers may place cookies during your visit to our website that request information like, for example, whether you loaded one part of our website. Please go to the website of the third-party provider to learn more about their use of cookies. In the detailed list under "Modifications and Details", you'll find information on the respective third-party providers and a reference to their data privacy statement. You can reject cookies from third-party providers at any time, by using the corresponding function on our website. When you reject all third-party cookies, we'll only be able to provide you with the functionality on our website that can be used without such cookies. In this case, the sections of our website where third-party content is integrated, which requires the placing of third-party cookies, won't be available to you. A notification will inform you of this. If you still want to access the unavailable content on the website, you'll need to agree to the use of analytics and marketing cookies. Please use the corresponding function on our website to give or revoke your consent. Please refer to the list of cookies for more information on integrated third-party data processing (e.g., tags, scripts, pixels).
When you reject cookies that require your consent, we'll duly accept your decision and refrain from placing the respective cookies. If you revoke your consent for cookies, we'll stop placing cookies that require consent starting from your visit to the next page. We'll delete any first-party cookies, insofar as this is technically possible. You may, of course, refuse the use of analytics and marketing cookies. However, this will prevent us from understanding what you like or dislike about our website, and from making any necessary improvements. Please note that we cannot delete third-party cookies. If you would like to delete all third-party cookies, please go to your browser settings. We would also like to make you aware that revoking your consent to cookies won't result in less advertising. Rather, it means that the displayed advertising isn't tailored to your personal needs.
You can manage cookie settings via the aforementioned features on our website, and also through changing your browser settings (enable, disable, and delete). Most browsers allow you to manage cookies by either accepting or rejecting all cookies. Go to the help section of your browser to learn more about how to manage and delete cookies. When you change your cookie settings, certain cookies will be blocked. In this case, you may not fully benefit from some features on our website. We may also be unable to provide you with certain content that you have previously seen or used.
The information collected via cookies is primarily processed within the extended European Union (extended EU) *. In some cases, it may happen that cookie information is processed by our contracted service providers or by third-party cookie providers in countries outside the extended EU*, which don't provide a level of data protection equivalent to the EU. In some countries, for example the US, the notable risk exists that local authorities may obtain access to cookie information processed there for monitoring purposes. No effective legal remedies are in place to prevent this. We have implemented additional and adequate security measures, like for instance contracts on the basis of EU standard contractual clauses, in addition to the implementation of complementary technical measures, to ensure that the information collected by cookies is protected appropriately. Insofar as you've given your consent to the category "Analytics and Marketing Cookies", you also agree to the transfer and further processing of the information collected by cookies in countries outside of the extended EU*.
